3 out of 5 stars It works   June 25, 2008
John R. Fulton (Rochester, MN United States)
I have 3 of these systems. They work fine, they can get picky about the placement of the receiver pod, but nothing to really complain about. pretty much as advertised. battery life seems really good.

It works,but the scroll in the mouse does not work correctly. It doesn't have good rage either. I wouldn't recommend it.


1 out of 5 stars Worst Microsoft Product Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   March 23, 2008

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT. I had an old logitech wireless that worked great for over 5 years (sold it with my old computer),but this Microsoft version needs to be reset at least 5 times a day and it constantly misses characters when typing.

BUY A LOGITECH INSTEAD.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop (PC & Mac) Quick delivery and no problem setting up the wireless system. Works very well and I find the touch on the keyboard very nice and quite. The only thing I wish the keyboard had was a light indicating that the caps lock was active; but this is no biggy. Would recommend this optical desktop system to a friend.
