    Excellent value5
    I wanted to move to a wireless environment at home to make life easier. This keyboard is really amazing value (£29.95 from Amazon) and it arrived within 48 hours which I wasn't expecting as I just chose regular delivery. The set-up is straightforward, although i haven't used the imaging software yet, but the mouse and keyboard work exceptionally well together. It took me a few extra minutes to get the keyboard and mouse to work in unison, but once I had discovered the "connect" buttons on the bottom of both the keyboard and mouse it all happened seamlessly. Remember though that both units require "AA" batteries (2 in each) so it would be a good idea to have some spare batteries nearby just in case they go flat while you're in the middle of something. The keyboard is an unusual curved shape which might take getting used to, but the zoom key and the hot keys are excellent shortcuts. Overall, for £29.95 you can't really go wrong from a brand name such as Microsoft.

    Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 5000 5
    5 Stars and the rest.The wireless keyboard is a joy to use.The cushioned palm rest along with the cunky and well layed out keys makes it fell like its the "Rolls-Royce" of keyboards,but without the price tag.It has five my favorites keys that you can customize to bring up photos,folders,files or web pages.It also has media keys including play,pause,stop and audio conrol.And it has calculator,log off,sleep hot keys.The sliver and metalic bule make it stand out and look the business,But take note it is quite big so make sure you have a clear work bench to lay it on.
    The mouse is even more impressive.Being optical you can use it on any surface and being wireless you can use it anywear,just watch you dont misslay it.The scroll wheel fells fantastic (very well made) you can scroll it up and down and nuge it side to side.It has two buttons on the left side.One is a cool magnifier and the other is a "back" button,But all the buttons are fully customizable from the software CD.The wireless shared receiver has USB or PS/2 connection.
    As yet i have not used the photo editing software but i would still buy this item for the keyboard and mouse alone.Top stuff from Microsoft.
