Belkin Rechargeable Wireless Optical Mouse - mouse

Advantages: wireless
Disadvantages: doesnt work properlly

...i bought this off my local asian retailer and have had nothing but problems with it from day 1!!! the mouse goes dead all the time which requires you to take out and replace the batteries to reactivate, which is a pain especially as i play a lot of poker online. the keyboard is just as bad in that it constantly misses letters out when typing, meaning you have to manually go back over your work and correct these mistakes. i tried replacing batteries almost daily to see if this is where the problems lay but still found the same problems. i may just have been unlucky and bought a faulty device but it is only 2 months old and my advice would be to avoid buying this in the first place. a total waste of both time and money! 1/10....

...I've just installed this great keyboard and mouse wireless set. It is great - the mouse is optical and the keyboard, well made. One vital piece of information: this keyboard works seamlessly with a KVM. I have a Belkin 2 port KVM and it set up perfectly. Some of the Logitech wireless sets do not support KVM switches and in fact one in particular does not have a "scroll lock" key - which is the hot-key for switching between the computers connetced to the switch.
