Customer Reviews

So far - fantastic!
I ordered this yesterday, and it's just been delivered - so, first of all, top marks to Amazon for efficiency and speedy delivery. I am impressed!
Second, it's clearly too soon to give a full review, but I just wanted to say how delighted I was with how easy it was to set up -- once the software was installed, it was literally a matter of "plug and play". Could not have been simpler.
The mouse has a wonderful feel, and is more sensitive than my wired mouse, which will take a bit of getting used to -- but not much, I suspect. The keyboard is responsive and extremely comfortable, with a place to rest your hands, which I like.
The one disappointment - I could not find any explanatory information on the array of buttons at the top of the keyboard, so I will have to find out what they do via trial and error. Maybe more technically astute users will have no problem with this, but we're not all that adept.
Will have to see, of course, how it does on battery life and general use over time, but so far, I'm very, very pleased.

Good at the start....but thats about it.
I bought this product to replace my Logitech keyboard and mouse, which was starting to get a bit grubby, but was still going strong!
I thought with Microsoft i was buying a reliable and long lasting product. My mistake. I will say that yes the installation was easy, but that is no good to me now 3 months on with a broken mouse.
My mouse has all of a sudden given up. And i find at times the keyboard doesnt react with the computer and i have to press the keys again to get a reaction.
Again, i am very disappointed considering this is a Microsoft product. I certainly wont be buying from them again.

Poor signal quality
I was very disapointed with this product. I expected much better from Microsoft. I continually get issues with the keyboard keys not responding or repeating (this is a real problem when deleting emails). The mouse keys regularly don't respond. For a wireless keyboard and mouse look to other products.
