Overall Review: plugged in 5 mins ago and now am ordering a more expensive model. Piece of junk. Lags from key strokes and does not pick up all keystrokes.
Pros: Well made and durable. Installation is a snap. QUIET - NOT a gamer keyboard/mouse combo - works well as an everyday device.
Cons: Keep batteries on-hand! AAA batteries (2) for the keyboard and AA battery (1) for the mouse. Last about a month with daily use. Shifted to rechargeable.
Overall Review: Purchased as a backup for my own keyboard. Bought another for family member's system.
Recommended!
Cons: Does not work if it is more than 12 inches from the USB transmitter. Totally unusable with most desktop setups.

Pros: -The keyboard is sleek, feels good to type on.
Cons: -Doesn't do well on a mouse pad that another microsoft keyboard/mouse combo worked well with a minute before switching.
-Randomly freezes up while moving the mouse (Only stationed maybe 3 feet from the computer.)
Overall Review: -I'd probably have purchased a cheaper keyboard/mouse combo that functioned a bit better. (They do exist.)
Pros: Good range from dongle, secure communications (encrypted), decent keyboard touch . Keyboard doesn't need to be switched off.
Battery life/usage is fairly good, if you switch the mouse off after use.
Cons: Mouse doesn't work on certain surfaces (which others do fine with). I had to switch it to another computer where it worked ok.
Keyboard and mouse are encrypted keyed to one dongle, if dongle dies or gets lost, others are useless (minor).
Bottom back plate of keyboard is WHITE, not black (minor).
You need to switch the mouse off (minor).
Overall Review: I just bought another brand, so I know I wouldn't but it next time. Unfortunately, I've had various problems with many different brands. I'm still looking for a reliable brand. If had other Microsoft keyboard/mouse sets that were good, and some others not so good. If the mouse worked where it should, it probably would have gotten 5 eggs.
Cons: Range is too short for desk top with computer cabinet 2.5 feet away. It sort of works but misses characters. It’s probably designed for laptops that have USB port only a few inches from keyboard.
Overall Review: I put the USB interface on an extension cable and placed it 6” from keyboard and that was a big improvement but that defeats the purpose of having a wireless interface. Maybe my metal case was the problem, who knows.
I debated the rating – with the USB extension it’s 4 but since that was not included I gave it a 2.
Cons: it does not function properly
