Microsoft Wireless Desktop 2000 Keyboard and Mouse Set, UK Layout - Black, 1 Count

I have been looking for a replacement keyboard for a while but none have ticked all my boxes until now. Having tested this keyboard for a week I have to report that it meets my very high standard perfectly.It is a full size keyboard which has silent keys and feels professional. It also has a full row of dedicated keys inc browser launch, mail launch, zoom in and out, and full multimedia keys with volume control.The mouse is a full size mouse and works perfectly.I am extremely happy with the purchase and I hope my review helps others who wish to buy a quality keyboard.

Plug my laptop into monitor, plug this into my laptop (usb very unobtrusive and fits either in back of keyboard or under mouse when not being used.) now I can write my essays in comfort wherever I am in my room. Great for chatting, skype or IM when you can just sit back and relax giving you a much more comfortable and natural conversation. Also clears desk space as you can have this on your lap or put it to one side when you need to write something down. Keyboard has a nice, comfortable hand rest with a comfortable texture to prevent wrist/hand injuries. (very useful for reducing essay cramp)Mouse works well on any surface, carpet, bed, girls bum ;) and feels comfortable in your hand. Just remember to turn it off after you have finished using it or your batteries will not last very long at all. AAA for keyboard, AA for mouse.

I have owned this keyboard/mouse set for about two years. The set is very nice in terms of its functionality. The keyboard is a full-sized keyboard but not overly large or heavy, so it doesn't take up too much space or feel too bulky. I can easily pick this up and use it in multiple places around my computer. The keyboard also has a nice set of extra buttons (to launch extra programs, control music/video playback, and adjust volume) that I frequently use. Moreover, the keyboard is set up so that the extra butons are placed at the top; I do not need to worry about accidentially hitting something like I did when I used my previous keyboard (a Logitech wireless keyboard). The mouse is a standard 3-button mouse that seems a little small for my hand, but it has worked for the most part. The received is OK; it works over a few meters, but it doesn't work well if inserted into a rear port on a desktop computer.While the keyboard has held up well over two years, the mouse is beginning to disintegrate. The padding went about a year ago, and the pads shredded the surface underneath it until I peeled them off. Now the rubberized surfaces are disintegrating. This is a particular problem with the rubber belt on the outside of the scroll wheel, which is on the verge of coming off, which would make it difficult to use. As it is, the scroll wheel has become more stiff recently.Overall, this is a decent product. The keyboard is simple but nice to use and will probably last another year at least. The mouse, however, was not quite as good and may be approaching the end of its life.

after using a ton of keyboards & mice over the years I settled upon almost identical wired versions of this keyboard & mouse as my choice product, when I found out they sold both of these as a package in wireless form I was a very happy man, I own 2 sets & love them, they work flawlessly. Only changed batteries in 1 mouse so far they lasted 4 months of constant daily use!. The mouse works great on almost any surface. For perfect operation have the usb dongle in line of sight, I use a short usb extension cable to the desktop, I did have slight issues when it was under the desk. Both keyboard & mouse have that very standard/ workhorse design to them but subtly smoothed out to just the right amount, very well designed, extremely strong durable construction, made to withstand heavy daily use. For me this product is perfection

Comes with batteries for mouse and keyboard, links to device instantly through the usb no set up needed, super comfortable for typing and mouse work, feels sturdy and support for wrists when typing, great set
