Summary: This was a disaster!
Review: After following the installation directions, the mouse would not respond and I could not override it with the keyboard, so my computer was frozen and completely down. The product is not identified on the box or manual but there is a support e-mail number listed on the box which I immediately wrote to from another computer, but I never received a reply. I was finally able to re-install my original mouse (you had to uninstall the mouse to install the wireless one) and get my computer going again. If I
hadn't been able to do this, I would have had to use my recovery CD and entirely re-install all the original programs and lose new programs and data. This was very scary time for me. I'm staying with my conventional mouse and keyboard!!!

Summary: Better than expected
Review: Despite overall bad reviews, I purchased this item. It workes exactly as promised. The mouse isn't the best design -- it doesn't quite fit my hand -- but the extra buttons are great (although I doubt everyone would use them). It's also slightly heavier than a traditional mouse, but not enough to bother me. The keyboard is fantastic -- it's quiet and the shortcut keys are very handy. The wrist rest keeps my wrists from getting sore.I probably wouldn't have bought it if I hadn't seen it in my Gold Box, but I'm glad I did.

Summary: Wireless Waste
Review: I don't have much use for a wireless mouse and keyboard but I thought it might come in handy sometime. This product came with 2 sets of batteries, (2 AA and 2 AAA). It was easy to install and does not require the assistance a manual, though one is included. The keyboard seems to be oversized with a lot of wasted space on the top and bottom. It's quite a bit heavier then my old one probably due the radio transmitter. The quick launch buttons on the top and above the keypad seem to be more of a novelty then anything else. Keys seem to "stick" when it is being used. I'm not sure if it's a transmitter error of if its just this unit. The mouse is very poorly designed. There are the standard left/right buttons with a scrolling wheel and two programmable side buttons that are very hard to click with a normal grip. The design of the sides slope up and inward which makes it extremely difficult to pick up lightly or quickly in gaming situations. On top of the design, the weight of the mouse is significantly more then my cell phone and about twice as heavy as a cord mouse, due to the radio transmitter. (I plugged my old 4 year old LogiTech mouse back in). I plan to return this pack the first chance I get.

Summary: Keyboard ok.. mouse weighs a ton!
Review: Sorry Microsoft.. go back to the drawing board on this one. Keyboard works ok... you don't get the 6' range they claim.. outside of 3' I get inconsistency. Mouse is a Mack Truck! Where did all that weight come from? It's not the batteries.. haven't a clue- but this unit is going back. Convenience of wireless blown away by weight of that mouse!

Summary: Mouse Really Is Way Too Heavy
Review: The mouse really is way too heavy. Regardless of whether it weighs 5 oz. or 15, it's by far the heaviest mouse I've ever had to use. My hand and arm are worn out after an hour of use. I kind of like the keyboard, though. It seems to work pretty well and haslots of features for a lower-cost keyboard, including the "special function" keys such as email, home page, etc. (I didn't understand how great these can be until you get used to them). My only problme is that the function key functions for Outlook are switched around (and hard-labeled), and the "Send"/Receive key doesn't seem to work. Overall, though, I'd pass on this combo. Find one with a mouse that only uses 1 AAA battery instead.

Summary: Good stuff
Review: With some apprehension given the concerns about the weight of the mouse, I ordered this package (... after rebate, what's the risk). It installed easily and worked the first time - five minutes. The whining about the mouse is overblown. With batteries in it weighs 5 oz, and because it's a ball mouse, it moves much more easily than the optical I had been using. The freedom from wires is well worth the weight. I have hung the receiver from the bottom of my desk and have no problems whatsoever with reception. I would give it five stars but I haven't yet seen how long the batteries last and the pair didn't come in the color I wanted.
