Advantages: looks smart, easy to install & use, responsive Disadvantages: batteries wear out quickly
I purchased this wireless mouse 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 ...
Advantages: Compact Size, Lightweight, Affordable Disadvantages: Confusing shortcuts/hotkeys because of cramped key design
iGo Stowaway is a WirelessBluetoothkeyboard that I bought to use with my Nokia N95. To fully use this keyboard with this smartphone I think you have to install the N73 drivers which just involves installing one new application like usual.
I think it is the smallest and most transportable bluetoothkeyboard available as it folds in half. It also utilizes a stand that is useful for smart phones/PDA. The only competition i know of all do not fold in half and so are twice the size as the compact Stowaway!
The differences between a normal PC keyboard are the 3 different types of key strokes using keys "FN (Left Blue) and FN (Right Green). This can be a bit confusing when you first use it.
I bought mine for £23 from MyMemory.co.uk - that is the cheapest I found it for!

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?
Well to be honest I am presently typing this on my old hard wired keyboard and mouse, the reason? Is that after just two days of moderate use the batteries have gone flat in the mouse and has become unusable!
My last keyboard of this type had the same problem and I thought it was just a problem with the manufacturer that I chose but I now think it is a design fault in the way wirelesskeyboards are built and sold. I think the problem is with the way they use the laser in the mouse and this drains too much power thus flattening the batteries very soon with use.
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 ...
