I was delighted to receive my merchandise in a very short time from 3BTECH. When I opened the package of 2 Refurbished Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop sets, the first one worked great, so I placed a postive response for the products. To my dismay, the second keyboard would not work, no matter what I did. I had just purchased a 12 pack of Duracell AA batteries and checked the voltage of each prior to use and after removal. The batteries were consistant with a voltage of 1.620 volts. I used 3 different pairs of AA batteries in the keyboard. I requested a RMA and returned the keyboard as packaged. 3BTech stated there was nothing wrong with the product and refunded a partial amount of the regular purchase price. Meanwhile the second Refurbished Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop mouse was consuming 2 new Duracell AA batteries every other day. I requested another RMA and voiced my disgust with their products and their obvious lack of quality control and repair procedures that should have detected both incidents. They refunded my original purchase price. For the amount of money I spent shipping their defective products back along with the amount they charged me, I could have went to Circuit City or Best Buy and purchased the similar items NEW for the same amount. It is my opinion the 3BTECH company’s integrety is questionable at best

I purchased the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 1000 keyboard with mouse from BuyDirect Corporation and after one month, it stopped working and because I could not convert my Net-book back to using the regular mouse system, I had to totally reinstall the operating system. The company made getting a return coupon number a hassle, so I ended up not getting it returned. My suggestion is that if the company wants to improve their customer satisfaction rating on Amazon that they should seek to make the return of defective products hassle free e.g. simply send a free return mail coupon upon email notification of the purchase of a defect product.

Lo tengo hace más de un año y siempre tengo problemas con el teclado. El mouse funciona bien, de hecho es muy bueno y comodo, pero el teclado omite letras, es casi imposible realizar control+C (para copy-paste) y que funcione bien. Ademas no se puede jugar con un teclado asi.
Lo bueno son los botones extras, que ademas son personalizables desde windows.

This is worthless. The lag was horrible. It was not usable. Don’t buy it. I couldn’t even use the keyboard to type one legible word. I should have used it to type this review out so you could see first hand what you are getting.

I have to compact, and have a metal computer table, perfect size. Nowhere in the description for this wireless did it say you cannot use on metal. This is great if I’m working long hours on the computer; I get in my easy chair, prop my feet up and go for it, which is great. But short-term, which is most of the time, I have to balance it in my lap until I figure a way around this. If you do not have a wood desk, this would be great. If your desk or keyboard tray is metal, just keep on looking.
