Customer Review: Does not work for games
Summary: 1 Stars
This keyboard and mouse has a great feel, and is great for casual use. However, this combo is HORRIBLE for gaming. The keyboard has a serious flaw that will "release" a key even while it is still pressed down. The result is in many games (and even some programs) while you are holding down a key (in a first person shooter you often hold W to run) it will suddenly stop responding. You will still be holding W down, but the keyboard won't be registering this. This makes playing 90% of games an aggravating experience. Microsoft has refused to acknowledge that this is a defect, and says that the keyboard is still usuable and they probably won't fix it in the future. Gamers beware!Customer Review: Takes patience to use with Vista
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this set for christmas and so far it has been a decent combo, although, getting it up and running in Vista Ultimate was a pain in the neck. Be sure to uninstall any previous keyboard/mouse drivers ahead of time or there are some conflicts that will prevent you from getting it installed right. I did manage to get it working, but whenever I restart my computer now I get an error code when windows boots.
Also, when I installed the drivers for the set, it made me uninstall Kensington MouseWorks which I use for my trackball which is unacceptable.
In all, you cant beat the price tag, but I would look somewhere else if your running Vista.
Customer Review: Sticky mouse button?
Summary: 2 Stars
My initial experience with this keyboard/mouse was very good, but it has not remained that way. The mouse buttons have developed a fairly common tendency to be ignored by the system. In other words, although the keyboard and cursor send their signals to and they are received by the computer with apparently no trouble, the mouse buttons require numerous depressions (or extremely forceful whackings to send their signal to the computer. Sometimes the solution is to move the mouse while maintaining pressure on the button. Unfortunately a couple of times this "solution" has resulted in folders or files being moved when that was not the intent! I'm not very happy.Customer Review: i love it
Summary: 5 Stars
the design is cool and matches many modern black computer setups. my dell dimension 2350 setup is all black along with my dell flat panel. they match this keyboard and mouse perfectly. the design of the mouse is very cool and so is the keybard. the curvy keyboard does take a little getting use to though. its like a regular keyboard with a subtle curve. its not one of those "natural" keyboards. the zoom lever is a great idea but i hardly ever use it since it only adjusts the size of the text and nothing else. my keyobard and mouse have worked perfectly and i have never experienced any quirky mouse movements or unresponsive keys.Customer Review: Great functions but to low a range for a wireless
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this set because of the funtions it offered including the comfort keyboard that was curved and not all the way broken and a very quite scroll mouse...the keyboard had lots of great functions and while I was willing to overlook the questionable zoom slider on the keyboard that looked like it could break off at any moment...for the money I spent on a wireless keyboard and mouse I could not overlook the short range of about 6-8inches from the reciever...this went back the next day...I now have a Logitech MX3200 keyboard and mouse that I purchased from Dell online for $67 that has a much better range of 6-8 feet.
