Mouse is terribly designed, do not buy!

Chu, Newegg
8 August 2012
  • Summary: The mouse has a fatal design flaw with the wheel. The wheel is a "smooth" wheel so you do not feel it click when it scrolls.
  • Pros: Decent keyboard for the price.
  • Cons: The mouse is ridicluously terrible. First, it's extreemly heavy, very tall, and weighted towards the very back. This is very different than any other mouse and after a...

Deteriorated over time

T789, Newegg
5 January 2012
  • Summary: The rubber sides of the mouse accumulate weird residue that is about impossible to clean off.
  • Pros: Looked great when I got it.
  • Cons: Mouse wheel barely turns and the rubber wheel is literally falling apart. Small rubber hunks coming off left and right.

Not worth the troubles

PapaBear, Newegg
31 July 2011
  • Pros: I got mine really cheap. Only paid about 28$ after tax and shipping. It was on sale back in february '11.
  • Cons: The keyboard looses its connection with the dongle frequently, and I'm only about 6 feet from it. The Mouse gets jittery at times as well, which sucks when I'm playing...

Worthless

adyendrus, Newegg
26 June 2011
  • Summary: - Escape key is tiny, and isn't the top right key, so if you don't have the lights on, good luck finding it.
  • Pros: Comfortable mouse.
  • Cons: Only 1000 characters? I'll try...

Good quality but poorly designed

Chris, Newegg
16 May 2011
  • Summary: The sensor/laser is at the back of the mouse, essentially putting it under your palm. For precision work (I do computer graphics), you typical use your palm as an anchor...
  • Pros: Good quality, both the keyboard and mouse have a very nice feel. Range seems good.
  • Cons: The mouse is poorly designed. The top of the mouse and the side buttons form an edge that sticks out that your ring finger is constantly rubbing against. Very annoying.

No more Microsoft hardware for me

Bosque Boy, Newegg
30 November 2010
  • Pros: It worked for about a year.
  • Cons: The USB transceiver failed. Can't get a replacement from Microsoft. I hate throwing away a keyboard and mouse because Microsoft can't be bothered to stock the individu...

Cannot recommend this

ARorlando, Newegg
8 September 2010
  • Summary: Hunting for the F keys and Esc key is very frustrating for me, now.
  • Pros: Updated Review:
  • Cons: Keyboard or mouse does not ‘wake up’ monitors when power saving turns them off. You have to restart the computer. This has proved to be very frustrating.

buyer beware

ogre01, Newegg
13 August 2010
  • Pros: The layout took some getting used to, but the slight curve to the keyboard makes it nicely ergonomic without going overboard. The buttons have a good tactile response....
  • Cons: The mouse is atrocious. The third button (as the scroll wheel) is worthless. It has a "forward" "back" feature on the scroll wheel as a left and right movement on the ...

OK keyboard, BAD mouse

Newegg
14 June 2010
  • Pros: Keyboard if ok, not too loud as some have reported. Dual reception on a small USB dongle is convenient.
  • Cons: Mouse scroll wheel behavior is erratic, sometimes it scrolls smoothly, sometimes it's unresponsive for a second. Unacceptable for me, returning it.

Bad if you have other wireless gadgets

momoy, Newegg
28 December 2009
  • Summary: You will be lucky if you get 5 feet in distance with this junk.
  • Pros: Nice box and design.
  • Cons: Always Lagging, I just discovered that it is because I have 3 cordless phone and a wireless adapter all operating at 2.4ghz.
