Advantages: Cost, and ease of use
Disadvantages: Tell you in a year or so's time

My old (wired) MS ergonomic keyboard started transposing keys, not a problem when there's only 2 keys involved, but more of a chore when there's four or more, so I started looking around for another ergonomic keyboard. Cost is an issue for me, and all the cordless keyboards at first glance (high street) are around £70-100 including mouse(which I don't need). So onto the internet I went. Cue A4 Tech's offering in this market. Firstly, a little upon ...
...get sore wrists, so need the ergonomic keyboard, and they do work! I spend a lot of time at my pc, as I work from home for a newspaper. When my children are old enough I want to return to the real world, and will start with agency work. This will involve a typing test, and I've tried moving straight from my ergonomic keyboard to a straight one - felt like I had twelve fingers! From 70 wpm to 32 in one (or more) stroke (weak pun). So any typing test ... Read review

Advantages: responsive, sleek, ergonomic
Disadvantages: None

...other than Logitech. Logitech have a good reputation for good reason - their products are durable, long-lasting, functional and (dare I say it?) beautiful. Sitting stylishly on my black glass desk, the Logitech cordless desktop performs amazingly. Using Photoshop for hours a day, and spending the rest editing web pages, I can't afford to have an inferior quality setup. This cordless desktop is the best yet. The keys are quiet but responsive, well-laid ...
...in black. The silver trim contains a host of useful extra buttons to control photographs, music, email, web, volume and VOIP. The mouse is precise and smooth (much better than previous models). The 'back' and 'forward' buttons on top are a stroke of genius - very useful but small enough to stay out of the way when you don't need them. Scroll wheel is very good - goes side to side as well (not that I find that particular function terribly useful). ... Read review

Disadvantages: Took a while to beable to use it.

...with it was the fact that most Microsoft keyboards nowadays have a slot inside where you can plug USB computer mice, directly into. And this one didn't. Not really a problem, but would have been a nice additional feature. Overall I'd give this keyboard 4 out of 5 stars. ... Read review

Advantages: Feels and looks great, lots of cool functions, great range
Disadvantages: Only 1: Middle mouse button is stiff

...desk when I saw the Trust Deskset. The mouse looked the same on the box, and it came with a keyboard which also looked nice. I had to open the box and make sure there was no catch - A wireless 5 button optical Mouse and wireless flat keyboard - Only £17?? Read on... Mouse: The mouse is only 800 DPI, but with a lot of fiddling with the speed, I eventually found a comfortable mix of speed and accuracy. My old PS/2 mouse had to go, since I'm now running ...
...actually had to slow this mouse right down, so I'll never be wanting for speed. The feel of the mouse is very ergonomic, light, and glides about effortlessly like it's on glass. The buttons, (all but one) are very nice to click. This is the one thing that lets the mouse down - the wheel button is very stiff, and needs a strong finger to click it, however, the rest is of such a high quality that this can be lived with. The 2 thumb buttons for surfing ... Read review

Advantages: A joy to use
Disadvantages: the buttons on the edge of the keyboard can be accidently pressed

...this product after my previous logitech wirless keyborad had given up after 3 years of constant use. At first i refused to pay for a new wireless keyboard after seeing the cost of them (my old one had been brought for me with my dell pc). I'll just use a wired keyboard that we had in the house, well i lasted about 2 weeks! While out on a sunday afternoon, i eventually parted with some money for LX710 keyboard and mouse. It was on offer for £29.99. ...
...packaging and knew straight away that i had made the right decision. It was so much lighter than my old set. I plugged in the usb receiver which is so small you hardly notice it. I put the provided batteries in, this was a bonus in its self and they were not just cheap ones either. I presses the connect buttons and i was off. I did out the CD in to take advantage of the extra buttons, i had never really used them on my old set but this one i constanly ... Read review
