Videk keyboard / mouse cable - 20 m

Advantages: No cables, long battery life
Disadvantages: Not so good keyboard feel, rather expansive

...I've got to say, right up front, that mouse and keyboard cables don't bother me. Sure, mouse cables can occasionally snag in the middle of a hectic game, and the keyboard curly cord is one more cable in the mess behind my computer, but really, I'm OK with it. It's not a problem.

..., the candidates find it easy to use and it does not stick or freeze. The candidates have enough to think about without the added pressure of a computer mouse not working correctly. What is it like? It is a standard three button mouse; left, right and centre wheel (the centre wheel can be used to scroll up and down as well as it becomes a button when pressed, this allows a controlled scroll by moving the mouse). Underneath is a red light that is projected onto the mouse mat and some pads that allow the correct distance for the light and to make the mouse glide over the surface of the mat so to help the user. It is also readily available in both black and white. What does it come with? The mouse has an attached cable (approx 1.8m in length) for connecting to the computer; the end of this cable has a USB connection. Also included is an adapter... Read review
