Cedar Desktop Publisher 1000

Advantages: Raw, simplicity. Simple is always the best. Cheap.
Disadvantages: None

...The wireless desktop is just about the most used item on a computer. Without one I couldn't type this review. The Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 1000 is a very good example of simplicity. No complicated buttons on the keyboard, a mouse without a mass of buttons where every button goes. Just the simple, basics. The combination works very well, the keyboard is nice to use. Very easy to use for a long period of time too. The mouse is no different, very responsive and easy to use. Just a left click, right click and a scroll ball. Nothing more, nothing less. Isn't it just genious? The mouse is very good on batteries and you won't find yourself having to by a million batteries all the time. The set is very asthetically pleasing in black, it won't stand out in your home or workplace. This combination is a very cost efficient desktop... Read review

This mouse is okay for the home user. It use two AA battery for its power.... Read review

Advantages: neat, elegant, packs quite a punch
Disadvantages: flimsy stand, too much wiring

...The first thing that struck me about the FPS-1000 surround speakers, was their size. They are very small, but quite heavy and really do hide quite a punch. The rear speakers are supplied with stands which are quite flimsy but do the job fine. There's a handy volume control knob that can sit on your desktop to you don't have to reach down to the sub-woofer to alter the volume. Providing you have a good soundcard and you don't turn the speakers up too high, the sound quality will be very absorbing.... Read review
