Advantages: looks smart, easy to install & use, responsive Disadvantages: batteries wear out quickly
I purchased this wirelessmouse and keyboard set when I got a new computer as I thought it would look smarter and more modern than the wire mouse and keyboard that came with it. I chose this set as I felt that Microsoft had a good reputation and, at £30, this represented good value for money.
This was easy to connect up with the computer, just a simple plug in to the front of the box. That was all that was required to install. The mouse and keyboard each take two batteries. I find that the batteries wear down really quickly. This is frustrating, especially when typing where letters can be missed out in your work, or quite often, the space bar won't function. The batteries in the mouse wear out especially quickly.
Having said that, this is the only flaw I can find with the product. The keyboard is comfortable to type ...
Well just got my new The Labtec Ultra-Flat WirelessKeyboard and mouse for a good price from my local Morrison's. So, what do I think of it so far?

This is not good, and not only is it very expensive to use as they need the best types of power cells just to work at all ...

The keyboard and mouse are both cordless and they link up through wireless connection to the rechargeablemouse holder. This separate unit connects to the back of your pc via 2 cables - one plugs into your mouse port and the other connects to your keyboard port. Very simple and just like what you would do with separate keyboard and mouse, corded varieties. The other cable attached plugs into your power socket.
Both units operate using 2 x AA batteries. The batteries in the keyboard that came included in the pack are still working perfectly with no cutouts of power despite many hours of daily use of the keyboard by my family and myself. The mouse also has the capacity to take 2 x AA normal batteries - I suppose this is in case you forget to recharge it - but it comes already supplied with a rechargeable battery pack. When fully charged we ...
