Electronics : Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 (Silver) |
- Functional, easy to use KeyboardI selected this keyboard for simple fact it was the smallest or most streamline I could find. I try to reduce clutter as much as possible in my work space so this fits the bill. I never use number pad so I don't miss it. After about a month it is performing well and I have no regrets. I would purchase again if it was stolen or destroyed.
Rating:
- Not for real useThis might be an OK keyboard for home media use, where you use it very little... granted I don't know how you would use a mouse in a situation like that though.
But as a daily keyboard, this just doesn't cut it. It has a very awkward feel to it. The slight curve on the keyboard isn't ergonomic at all and there is no elevation change as you would expect from an ergonomic keyboard... so what you get is the worst of both worlds... people who want ergonomics won't get it and people who can't stand ergonomic keyboards won't like it either.
I really have no clue who Microsoft's target audience was for this product.

- great, until the function keys stopped workingGreat keyboard, comfortable - loved the little mousepad. Was great for browsing from the couch, and integrated well with Media Center. The mouse is also comfortable, stylish, with a side buttons for added functions.
Too bad all the touch-sensitive keys on the keyboard (look closely, this includes all function keys, home, end, the mouse pad, etc etc) stopped working. This rendered the entire keyboard unusable.
I still use the mouse, and would have given this item 5 stars if the keyboard still worked as it initially did.

- Terrible!I bought this product to replace an existing non-Bluetooth wireless keyboard/mouse set, as well as an existing Bluetooth PC receiver I used with a couple of audio headsets.
Long story short, the Microsoft receiver either wouldn't pair to my existing Bluetooth devices, or it would pair and they still didn't work. To make matters worse, documentation is sparse and online support info is virtually non-existent (I ran into lots of instances of the exact same problem, but no solutions.)
Finally, I tried getting support via e-mail from Microsoft, but they were clueless and all but admitted that they couldn't guarantee their receiver would work with anything but their keyboard and mouse. After two weeks of trying to fix things, I decided to return the product while I still could.
Save yourself time and trouble and steer clear of the Microsoft Entertainment Desktop 7000.

- Great wireless setI've been using the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 for a month now, and I have to say it works very well. I haven't noticed the slightest reception problem, bluetooth works great. Setup was very easy.
Being able to look for a movie or a TV shown to watch online, from the comfort of my bed is just great. The desktop software also has some nice features, like a magnifier for small text or when you are away from your screen. The play/pause fast forward and rewind buttons work with iTunes (great). No numeric pad, but this keyboard is not for working on Excel. No lit keys, but if you are typewriter trained, you don't need it.
The mouse works great. The laser tracking lets you use it on top of almost anything. It has two additional buttons which are programmable, and the scroll wheel, also lets you scroll sideways.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase.
