Review of Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 3000 - keyboard , mouse

A great wireless mouse

Advantages: Scrolls up down left and right, side buttons
Disadvantages: You can accidentally press the side buttons

I really like this mouse, although it feels quite large if your going from a laptop mouse to this. I love the side buttons, they are great for going back a page on the internet and its something I have found very helpful even though it can be pressed accidentally. The right hand side button magnifys the pages in a some square I fins this useful when I'm lying ing bed watching a DVD as it means I can skip forward a chapter much easier as I can see ...
...scroll wheel is good, although sometimes it does scoll to far (but that may be my settings, I don't know). Also with this scroll wheel the user is able to scroll from left to right, this is useful if the user is using Exel or a spreadsheet program to move from left to right, other than that I rarely use it unless a website has a left right scroll bar. There was a notice came up that batteries were needing replaced sometime ago, although I never ...

Don't Shoot The Messenger ! It's Good !

Advantages: Light, Headset Included, Ease of use, Comfortable
Disadvantages: High RRP Price

The Xbox 360 Messenger Kit comes in that awful plastic packaging that you cut yourself trying to get into - but once you get past that initial hell, you'll find yourself with a very respectable product. The Messenger Kit includes both a chat pad & an xbox 360 headset. I should mention now however that the headset that comes with this kit is not the original headset that we are all used to. The difference with this headset is that the volume & mute ...
...the controls were located on a piece of plastic that connected to your controller, however now the controls are located half way up the wire that leads to your ear. The location of the volume & mute controls may bother those gamers who like to have the mute button at their finger tips, but you soon get used to reaching up to the wire to mute yourself - it's really not a problem. The chat pad itself connects to the bottom of your xbox 360 controller ...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Messenger Kit - keyboard

Ergonomic Keyboard

Advantages: Ergonomic. extra functionality
Disadvantages: Bulky, takes a while to get used to

I got this keyboard when I started feeling pain in my wrists. It was supposed to offer a more natural position for the hands. I have to admit that, although awkward at first, it is a very good keyboard. There is a very nice feel to it, and the hands are well positioned. There is a bit of a learning curve especially if you do not touch-type but after a week or so you soon forget that it is even split. The strain on the wrists is very limited. It ...
...There are quite a few extra buttons which can be mapped to specific actions. Although I don't use them much, the functionality does come handy say, if you use virtual desktops. I would recommend getting one for work and the office as well. I sometimes change from ergonomic to standard keyboard, and it takes me a while to readjust. Overall I am very pleased with the product. It does exactly what it says on the box - it is ergonomic and reduces the ...

Review of Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 - keyboard

Microsoft Curve- Fantastic

Advantages: Price, Layout, Hot Keys, Easy of Use, Quality
Disadvantages: Takes a couple of weeks to get used to

...the ones to the side. Microsoft say this is for easy of use in the typical method of typing that many people use. I have to say that i took me a week or two of using the keyboard before getting used to the way that the keys are positioned and shaped. However months on i am incredibly happy with the layout as it is much easier to use and creates less strain for long periods of typing. I occasionally use the Hot Keys that are on the head of the keyboard. ...
...fact that it is a Microsoft keyboard i found it was just an easy plug in and use with Windows Vista and XP. If you touch type, like laptop keyboards, type a lot then this is the perfect keyboard for you weather you are on a budget or not. If you don't touch type then this is a great keyboard to learn on. ...
