Electronics : Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 (Silver) |
- Only for the living room!Look at the keyboard layout very carefully before buying this keyboard. It is bluetooth and perhaps meant only for applications like media center PCs hooked up to your TV with the keyboard on your coffee table. For that sort of application it is probably pretty good with bluetooth and a built-in mouse, and the smaller size.
However, if you're just using this with a desktop PC, you should go with something else. The layout is just too unusual, especially the keys that aren't even keys anymore but touch sensitive creases above the real keyboard. If you are used to your calculator or lock screen keys, they're not here. The function keys are not here. Too bad, seems like this is the only bluetooth keyboard available from Microsoft now.
Using this with Vista I had the apparently common problems that M/S has with their mice under Vista, i.e. the scroll wheel doesn't work with various applications like iTunes. Even after installing the latest drivers etc. I have since switched to a Logitech Wave combo and the mouse wheel on that works fine in all the places where the Microsoft Mouse doesn't, so I don't know what Microsoft' excuse is. I contacted Microsoft support and got no useful support--uninstall, reinstall the latest drivers etc which I'd already done.
Also note how expensive this keyboard is. You're not going to be happy if you buy this and it doesn't work for you.

- Great ProductI love this product. It give me an extended range that I need. The design is nice and both item work well. I am use to having the number key on the side, if this feature can be added, it would get 5 stars.

- keyboard's nice, mouse is flaky, Microsoft support terrible. Mac users beware.Could just be /my/ mouse, but it's been flaky since day 1. Would work for awhile then sometimes just randomly die. I'd retry it the next day and it would work, go figure. Now it seems to have died for good and I'm calling Msft for support. I hope they take care of it. This stupid thing is only 5 months old!
Oh, the keyboard is nice though, sleek and light and although there's a minute lag due to the Btooth, it's pretty useful. I prefer the raised keys but overall the kybd is pretty good. So, 4 stars for keyboard, 1 for the mouse, = 3 stars.

- Good and BadI liked this keyboard and I hated this keyboard but the bottom line was that the number key lock did not work correctly. It has a great feel and great media buttons. The mouse is also good but could use some more buttons.
