Rating: Summary: Great wireless product Review: I paid 20 dollars for a set of these at auction and I must say that I am thoroughly pleased. uses only one AA for the keyboard and 2 AAA for the mouse. my range is usually 10 feet, but works up to 25-30 on new batteries. batteries usually last 6-8 weeks. If I were to complain, the set does have a compatability issue with Linux. (keyboard doubles every keystroke) and yes, if you unplug the base, you must reprogram (a ten second fix) but if your powersupply/ motherboard works correctly, then it will continue to deliver power to the keyboard thereby keeping connection. solid keystrokes and smooth mouse movement make these a great buy for the money.
Rating: Summary: Wireless or Wiremore? Review: If you like portability then this is the keyboard and mouse for you. For the price, this is an excellent package; as long as you never turn off your computer. The range of the receiver to the keyboard and mouse is very good, as a matter of fact you can eek-out more than the manufacturer recommends. The bad part is the ID Connection. Everytime I shut down the computer and turn it back on the mouse no longer communicates with the receiver. When this happens I must reestablish communication by pushing a button on the receiver and then a button on the mouse. Sometimes I lose communication between the keyboard and the receiver after attempting to restart the mouse. The mouse is full-size, which is nice and the scroll works very well. But the communication problem rises to the top of my complaint list.
