Summary: Caveat Emptor II (another buy at your own risk)
Review: I have had this keyboard for 4 months. I never did like the mouse so I didn't use it other than to verify its function. It worked, but lacked 100% every time precision that a cable-connected mouse has. The keyboard however, worked like a champ for about 3 months. Then for the last several weeks of its life I would have to re-initialize the transmitter/receiver. It would work fine for a day or two, then I would have to re-init again. Then finally it stopped even re-initializing. I did the normal troubleshooting, checked the batteries, connections, interference from other devices that transmit, etc. I believe it has bought the farm.

Summary: CAN IT GET ANY EASIER?
Review: I received this as a gift from my mother in law for Christmas. In the almost 5 months that I have had it I don't know how I got along without it. It has made me lazy. I don't even get up to get on the computer half the time. I lay in bed on a Saturday and list all my Ebay. My mouse and keyboard work wonderfully. I don't understand the other unfavorable reviews. It seems to me they just didn't install it properly or they had other comp issues not to be blamed on the product. I have recommended this to all my friends and family and quite a few have bought it and have had no probs what so ever.

Summary: Buyer Beware
Review: I was very disappointed in this product. The keyboard and mouse itself look great and feel high quality. The keys on the keyboard are ultra-quiet. However, the keyboard never worked (the mouse did work great and is the only reason I gave this product 2 stars as opposed to 1). Technical support for Memorex has very funky hours, but when they were open, they could only tell me that indeed, my keyboard did not work. Thanks guys. Office Depot/Amazon was great in returning the product even though the return period was up (which makes me wonder if this is a common problem).

Summary: Without a doubt, the worst wireless mouse available
Review: The keyboard isn't too bad. Never had any trouble with it. The mouse is another story. It frequently needed to be reset with the receiving base. I used this combo to control my home theater PC, so I placed the receiving base by the computer about 5 feet away from where I sit. Everytime I needed to reset it, that involved playing with cabling to pull the receiving base out to a position where I can hit the "reset" button. Anyone who has an intricate wiring setup for their PC/Stereo/TV can appreciate that this is a hassle. Eventually, I grew bored of playing this game and stretched the receiving base out to the coffee table. Sure, there was an ugly cord stretched out in the middle of the room, but I was sick of having to dig it out. Another problem with the mouse is that it seems to go to "sleep" after 20 minutes of inactivity. Which means moving it does nothing. You have to click a button to wake it up. I've had a screensaver running and having to click a button to wake up the mouse has ended up sending that mouse click to an application running under the screensaver. I try to use the keyboard to turn off the screensaver before waking the mouse. If that wasn't annoying enough, the mouse NEVER EVER worked! It was flaky. I'd right click on the desktop, not move the mouse at all, and by the time the menu popped up, I was unable to move the mouse pointer. Distance from the RF base had nothing to do with this, as I was able to duplicate this 1" away from the base. In the middle of a mouse operation, the mouse would stop working. This happens every time I use it. Imagine the frustration of trying to control a DVD app, hitting the seek button, then having the mouse stop working when you need to hit play again. I have never owned such a difficult to use mouse, wireless or otherwise. I eventually lost my temper with it one day and through it down the stairs. Remarkably, this seemed to fix it, although temporarily. I have since paid up for the Gyration wireless combo and am happy I did. The keyboard may find another use in my house, but I cannot get the mouse out of my sight quick enough. Basically, if having a mouse is important to you, walk away from this combo.

Summary: Keyboard - Great ; Mouse - Bad
Review: They keyboard is great. After successfully installing and connecting it to the computer, it works like a champ. However, I would do something about the icons on the keyboard. They aren't always easy to interpret quickly. The mouse is another story. I could never get it to install via PS/2. Plus, even if I had, the shape is not comfortable, as in the center front of the mouse, the shape rises to a high peak. Really high, and forcing my fingers to feel like they're curling down.
