Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 4000 (3.0) Silver PS2/USB Mac/Win
Customer Review: Great product from Microsoft
Summary: 4 Stars
First, I cannot believe the price at which I purchased this combo. I was originally looking to replace my ball mouse with a wireless, but when I saw this, it seemed like I could get a free keyboard for the price of a mouse. The keyboard is very stylish compared to my old Dell keyboard. I love all the hot keys, it really makes things easier. The keys feel very comfortable to press and the shape is comfortable as well. The mouse is top notch. I have no problems with interference or anything like some other people are. I highly recommend this keyboard/mouse to anyone looking for comfort and style at an amazing price.Customer Review: Keyboard is good, not sure about the mouse
Summary: 4 Stars
I've installed the keyboard and the mouse. The mouse worked about a week, the keyboard is still going strong after about a month. I expect if I shut everything down and re-install the software, the mouse will probably work, but I've not had time and the old wired mouse still works fine. When it was working, the mouse was good for a distance of about 6 feet away from the receiver. I'd hoped for more, like across the room to the recliner :0) I'll get everything going, but if I had it to do over again, I'd probably purchase the two separately, so that I could return just the one that wasn't working right.Customer Review: Bad for living room or far away
Summary: 1 Stars
I placed my mac in my living room because there is another pc in my room. I decided to buy a cordless desktop to avoid wires running across the living room. I bought this for cheap at another major store. Once installed it was a hassle to setup and after that it became a pain in the arse. The main culprit is very weak signal. The mouse would jitter; the keyboard would become unresponsive. It would only work nearly well if I'm at a distance of 2 feet, at most. Do not buy this if you are unable to get this close to the receiver. This is a very poor product. I recommend the Logitech brand; it works perfectly.Customer Review: I'd recommend this hardware
Summary: 5 Stars
I am using this product in my home office and so far (2 weeks), I've been very pleased with it. I love the comfort of the keyboard with the built in wristpad. The mouse works great and I also like the fact that you don't have to put it into a charger for it to work. The wireless component just stays plugged in and the mouse uses a battery.
I had just a little trouble with the initial set up and getting my computer to recognize the hardware, but it only took a few minutes for me to figure it out.
Great product for those that want to reduce the amount of wires in their life!
Customer Review: you are broadcasting your passwords everyone in a 10-meter radius!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this for the convenience of using it with Windows Media Center from the couch, for which it excels.
However, during a commercial, i decided to log in to my bank account until i realized dangerous that could be. After doing some quick research, I learned that Microsoft's encoding was cracked long ago, and that anyone within a 10-15meter radius who wants to could easily monitor everything you type: passwords, gossip, your google searches, everything.
I'm in a NYC apartment building, so I was at more risk than anyone in the suburbs, but be forewarned!
