Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000

Pros: Rechargable mouse base. ULTRA-miniature mouse pad in the upper right corner of the keyboard (way cool). It's slim and sexy. The best Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo I've ever purchased.

Cons: Price. Some of the keys are in strange places. Like ESC. Meh...you get used to it.

Overall Review: Don't know how long the keyboard batteries will last (4 AA's). Will see. This is for my HTPC. I don't think I would like using the keyboard for heavy typing. The key placement is a little annoying.

Pros: Nice keyboard. Slim form. I like the built in mouse controls on the keyboard itself. The mouse is comfortable, nothing spectacular.

Cons: The function keys are a little awkward at first. It takes a while to get used to touch sensative keys. My main complaint was that the "S" key only works about 50% of the time. Used the keyboard for about 20 days then threw away original packaging. On day 21 the "S" started acting up. Newegg won't return without original packaging. Called Microsoft and they also claimed I needed original packaging.

Overall Review: Bluetooth seems to work well, can be slightly laggy at times tho. I wasn't disappointed in the keyboard until the "S" key started working only when it felt like it. It's my own fault for tossing the original box but for $140 keyboard/mouse I expect something slightly more reliable. Also a little disappointed I couldn't work out a deal with newegg to just exchange the keyboard for a working model. Maybe thats a little much to ask as well.

Pros: Slim line, light, portable & bluetooth. Has great range. Off button on keyboard and mouse to save battery is a perk.

Cons: No Number keypad, not a big thing since there are number keys atop the keyboard.

Overall Review: MS should have included rechargable batteries for the keyboard instead of just the mouse.

Pros: Great range, small, slick design. Perfect for my living room HTPC. Built in touchpad mouse on the keyboard makes it so you don't even have to grab the mouse for simple tasks.

Cons: As others have noted, the touch F-keys are a pain. SOmetimes you hit them by accident, sometimes you can get them to work right.

Overall Review: I love it. Perfect accessory for a living room HTPC.

Pros: This is a great setup. Low profile keyboard, thin laptop like keys, and its blue tooth.

Cons: No num pad

Overall Review: Its a great setup. This keyboard and mouse were well designed. I am not a huge fan of the start button but i can live. The function keys being sensor type inputs is awesome. I lvoe this suite.

Pros: Great keyboard. Excellent response time and awesome features. Haven't had a chance to game with it yet, but judging from the typing response, I doubt it will have any problems keeping up.

Cons: A bit big if you are looking for an MCE keyboard you can tuck away, but for the number of features it has, it is worth it.

Pros: Microsoft really nailed this thing. Great key feel. The touchpad really works great. Bluetooth conected without any action on my part. Plugged into my Vista rig and all the features worked without having to install the included software.

Cons: This is minor, the lack of a dedicated number pad. It makes balancing your checkbook that much easier. BUT, there is a keypad when you enable "numlock" like on a laptop keyboard.

Overall Review: This keyboard and mouse rock. I would've waited for the 8000 w/ the rechargeable/backlit keyboard, but I was building my new Vista rig and wanted the latest keyboard. Also, the 8000 looks awkward to use if you have a keyboard shelf.

Pros: Fantastic range: I never have problems connecting to my HTPC in my living room. Battery life: The same AA battery has been in the mouse for over a month, and it shows no signs of weakening.

Cons: The keyboard has a weird look and shape, I would have preferred something more plain, but I get over it because I can sit on my couch and type.

Overall Review: I used to own a wireless mouse & keyboard set that were not Bluetooth, and they did not work more than 4 feet from the reciever. This works from as far away as I can get (I don't have a huge house, so I'm no where near the 30-foot stated range.) I am very happy with this. The keyboard does not have flip-out feet on the back, so if you like your keyboard at an angle on your desk, you'll have to set it on something. I prefer this because it is thin and fits onto a shelf in my coffee table.
