I bought this keyboard and mouse as a replacement for the very basic Dell keyboard and mouse supplied with my desktop!
Initially it seemed to work well. Drivers were simple to install and the setup was alright. The keyboard is comfortable to type on. The mouse took a bit of getting used to, but actually feels comfortable in the hand after a bit of use!
Unfortunatly though, the mouse seems to stutter and lag quite frequently. It even occurs when there is not very much running on my pc. After trying multiple different USB slots(front an back) and a few sets of batteries the same thing happens each time! The keyboard also misses strokes, far less frequently than the mouse lag but it is still extremely annoying.
I've given it 2 stars because i found it's actually a comfortable mouse and keyboard, but the connection is awful, with the stuttering of the mouse making it really frustrating and difficult to use!

Bought as a replacement for my 6000 v2 keyboard. More compact than v2 as the ancillary buttons are reduced in size, including the function keys. Ok once you get used to the new positions of the buttons. A shame Microsoft decided to replace the Function keys with the tiny buttons as they are now difficult to press without accidentally also touching a numeric key on the top row. Nice silent keys, with good touch.
The mouse is very ergonomic, fits the hand (right only) at just the right angle. Provided your hand is placed correctly and fully onto the mouse it is very easy to lift, contrary to the comment by a previous reviewer. Although the USB receiver has to be plugged into the back of my PC which is under a wooden desk some three feet away I have no problems with drop-out. Perhaps if the desk were metal there might be a problem?
The wrist-rest is now an integral part of the keyboard, so very stable.
Aa couple of keys omitted (Forward and Gadgets) but replaced with questionable useful keys (Show Desktop and Windows Media Player-now playing).
In summary, a great keyboard/mouse combination.

During March, I was looking for a desktop set to replace my Logitech Cordless set. I'd had that set for approximately 6 months before it started playing up and becoming unresponsive. So I looked around and I found this great-looking desktop set. It's got all the features I need, including media keys, 5 self-set keys, along with a few usual ones that come with Microsoft keyboards.
PROS:
The transmitter for the set is smaller than that of a standard USB pen drive, making it very convinient.
The mouse fits perfectly into your hand.
The keyboard is comfort curved and has a comfortable hand rest.
There seems to be no problem registering key strokes, unlike my Logitech.
CONS:
The shift key IS smaller than that shown on here. The image shown is the US keyboard. This makes it hard for most people. I, however, haven't had a problem after the first couple of weeks.
The mouse is really sensitive at first until you get used to it. Also, Microsoft have been reluctant to change the scroll and as such, the scroll is smooth and doesn't rachet. If you've been using a racheting mouse, you will find it a lot harder to scroll. This makes it very sensitive and prone to sliding up and down when not wanted.
The wrist rest is atrocious in the sense of getting dirty. While it feels nice, it's very hard to clean.
OTHER:
The multimedia buttons are also very sensitive. For instance, I was listening to a playlist and I hit the forward key once and it zoomed along 3 tracks. I've refined the art of pressing it very lightly now, so it's no problem, but it is rather annoying.
