Amazon.com Product Description
Add wireless freedom, stylish looks, and one-touch features to your desktop with the Wireless Optical Desktop Pro keyboard and mouse combination. This desktop package features customizable keys, optical mouse technology, and a comfortable, ergonomic design. The Wireless MultiMedia keyboard's split, gently sloped shape encourages a natural hand, wrist, and forearm position for maximum comfort. Also, your digital media activities are within easy reach--start, play, and navigate music and video clips with the touch of a button. Customizable hot keys let you quickly start Messenger, Mail, Internet, and Calculator programs. And get one-touch access to files stored in the My Documents, My Pictures, and My Music folders in Windows. Perform common tasks right from your keyboard--press a button to open, close, and save documents, send and forward e-mails, put the computer to sleep, log off, and more. Press the F LOCK key to toggle between standard and enhanced function key commands. The mouse's wider, clear scroll wheel allows you to comfortably move through documents and Web pages quickly without clicking the scroll bar. Accelerated scrolling reacts to how quickly you roll the wheel, saving you time and effort. And the optical sensor replaces your mouse ball, for accuracy and precision--no mouse pad needed. It's ambidextrous, too--whether you control it with your right or left hand, the wireless optical mouse is shaped for comfort. Both the keyboard and mouse work within six feet of the included receiver, even if your computer is out of sight. The pair comes with a three-year warranty.

Works fine, but . . . June 29, 2008
Doug Hoiles (Central California)
The products work fine, but the keyboard has oddly roughed up key surfaces with somewhat transparent plastic making the entire unit look and feel dirty right out of the box. It took some getting used to and I still wish it weren't made that way. I also wonder why the keys in the front row are so large. It's not a problem, but just odd. Nicely shaped ergonomically and a good value with above caveats.
 Lovin' It June 27, 2008
Susan B. Brown (Pico Rivera, CA)
This was purchased to replace an older wireless keyboard and mouse of the same type and same brand. The only down side is the button that magnifies part of the screen. Needless to say... I disabled that button. After disabling that button... I am a happy camper.
 Works great 75% of the time May 25, 2008

I've had this keyboard/mouse for almost a year. For the first 6 months I really didn't have any problems, but lately I seem to be getting more and more interference. I've tried moving the receiver around, but this is just a temporary fix.
Although it works fine most of the time, it is incredibly aggravating when the mouse starts moving erratically or the keyboard isn't recognizing all of your keystrokes.
Great product for frequent typing May 10, 2008
John A. Smythe
Installation and setup was easy. Provides perfect finger and wrist alignment. Highly recommended. Great price for the features. Nice mouse features. Mag button on left is better than versions with mag on right.
 Couldn't make it work May 5, 2008
W. Rossiter (Montana)
Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro
Mouse was very comfortable and worked well. The ergonomic keboard was very comfortable with good action, fairly quiet, but didn't work well. Various keys, especially when used as a combo with upper case or Ctrl, would work sporadically. If I wasn't watching the screen, I'd type a word only to find that three or four of the characters didn't register. If I pressed one of the missing-character keys again and again (and again) it might work or it might not. Very frustrating. I returned it.
The "quick start" folding card that came with the set referred to a user's manual, but there was none included.
