more tangled wires with its wireless technology (connect to a USB receiver that you can store out the way and never move). It has an incredible battery life of 6 months or more, and impressively for a wireless mouse - high 1000dpi resolution tracking for smoother and more accurate motion.

Advantages: Long battery life, easy access keys and curved design. Disadvantages: I would really like it with a touch pad instead of a mouse.

This is a great product with a distance of a round 10 meters and the battery will last for around 6 months of constant on time.
I would change the fact that there is a mouse I would rather have a touch pad because there would be less things to hold.
I bought this keyboard a few months back. The main propose for it was my media centre computer. I have this connected to my TV and all the time I had to get up walk over bend down and get it working again.
I'm not lazy at all but if you are in the same situation you will know how annoying it is to be watching something and then it freezes then having to get up every time to fix it. So once I saw this in Argos I just went for it and I have to say it's really useful for saving time with my PC.
I have to say I like this keyboard mainly because its wireless but also because of its selection of handy keys across the top. There are buttons that open up mail, search and web browsers which are very useful. Then when you have the web browser open there are backwards and forwards keys on the top left of the keyboard and in the middle there are sound key.
I really like the curved keyboard edges of the keyboard. The software over all is very easy to install. The mouse has central button that you can get a software download off the Microsoft website used for all sorts of features.

This is a great product with a distance of a round 10 meters and the battery will last for around 6 months of constant on time. I would change the fact that there is a mouse I would rather have a touch pad because there would be less things to hold.
So if you want a few less wires to trip over then this is a great option for you.

Review of Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 2000 - keyboard , mouse
Advantages: looks smart, easy to install & use, responsive Disadvantages: batteries wear out quickly
...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 ... ...wear out especially quickly.
Having said that, this is the only flaw I can find with the product. The keyboard is comfortable to type on and the mouse is responsive as a laser mouse rather than the old fashioned roller ball style.
It does look smart and also makes cleaning a lot easier, and my computer desk is much tidier without all the wires! Not to mention that you don't get that annoying feeling when the mouse wire gets caught and you end up ...

Advantages: No wires and easy compatible set up Disadvantages: None
As far as installation and compatibility goes the desk set was easy to set up and configured with Windows Vista very easily. The ergonomic layout of the keyboard is plesant and with the usefull quick access buttons its an all round winner although its on the large size and would not suit people with limited space the overall package is excellent value and compares well in price to other wireless packages. The mouse is nice and responsive and certainly ...
