I barely gave it time to warm up from the freezing mailbox. I put fresh batteries in. I plugged into my Windows 7 (x64) Desktop. WOW! All the buttons work! (Top row on Keyboard.) For those complaining of intermittancy (buttons don’t always register) may I recommend a simple solution…Put In Fresh Batteries! You do realize that rechargables (Ni Cads, NiMH, etc) only put out 1.2 volts (1.37+ when overcharged.) Those cheap Carbon Zinc batteries at Dollar Tree start over 1.5 volts (8 for a Dollar!) Alkalines also begin life over 1.5 volts and ARE rechargable, with the proper equipment. In an emergency (you don’t have time to change the batteries,) keep your other keyboard, mouse plugged in! That way you can continue working…up to the limits of the cord. USB (and USB2) allow up to 127 devices simultaneously! You can also have PS/2 (round connector) keyboards and mice hooked up…even an old serial mouse! I LOVE ‘EM!

This is a real POS. Does not work for very long at all. Range is very limited. A total waste!!!

I actually bought 2 of this thing, one for my extra PC and one for my PS3. I just wasted more than $60 for this 2. Just like the other review, the mouse has a power save mode where you use the scroll wheel to activate the mouse again, moving the mouse doesnt seem to deactivate from power save mode, you have to use the scroll wheel. One the worst of all, it also suck up battery, I already bought 10 pack AA worth more than $10 and use 2 of each week just to have the mouse working. My previous mouse didnt even have to change the battery for more than 4 months with heavy usage. OK, the keyboard, the keyboard has a long delayed responce, I have change the setting on my control panel so that whatever I type, it would come out quickly, but even with that setting, its delayed for more than 3 seconds. And so I thought it must be the syncing of the mouse to the base. I keep syncing the keyboard and the sync button is now broken. Now I have a useless keyboard. And before it was broken, it exhibit a sticky key type problem where it give you the same keys many times like this, ffffffffuuuucccckkkkkk MMMMiiiiccrrrooossssttt.

This is a great wireless keyboard and mouse combo. You can be up to 5ft from the sensor. The sensor also has a long cord so you can bring it even further away from the computer its self. Great product! I’d recommend it!

I bought this keyboard for work, we do lots of typing I have notice I make lots of spelling errors the keyboard doesn’t pick up some of the keys I press so I dont recommend this keyboard for work use this would be a good keyboard for home use.
