4.0 out of 5 stars A good bundle minus one or two features, 3 Sep 2008

By	Angel Sun (London, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 700 V2 - Keyboard and Mouse (Electronics)

As a replacement for my suddenly problematic wireless HP keyboard, I decided to go for this Microsoft Keyboard & mouse bundle.

It's really easy to use as you just plug it into your PC and it recognises the hardware, you connect the keyboard & mouse to the wireless receiver and away you go!

Along with the hotkeys which provide fast access to your email, music, my computer, favourites & Internet home page, there are volume controls and a play/pause button which are all very useful, however there is no forward/rewind control and shockingly no Sleep button! I see no reason why a sleep button should be excluded from any keyboard. For me, it is an essential and I hope there is a way to assign this feature to another key.

The keyboard is stylishly designed with drainage holes in case you spill anything on it and the keys have good positive feedback when typing but I am very dissapointed with the height due to the 'legs' of the keyboard being unable to give the necessary tilt to make typing more comfortable and ergonomic. Also, with the legs down, the keyboard is tilted backwards and therefore is not an option.

The optical mouse has a good build quality and has the added benefit of a sleep function so that it doesn't use up the battery when not in use.

Overall, it is a very good quality package which is slightly let down by the height/tilt & absence of a sleep button. Recommended if you don't mind these factors otherwise look at later models.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very short range, 3 Mar 2009

By	Mr. F. Mirza (Eastbourne, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 700 V2 - Keyboard and Mouse (Electronics)

I bought this to use with my HTPC in my living room. The keyboard and mouse are easy to connect, the make is good and the keys on keyboard are really soft. But the range is very poor. It works fine if I am within 1 meter range, which is ideal if you use it with a desktop PC. But for a HTPC I wanted to use it from the sofa which happens to be more than a meter away from TV and it doesn't work, so pretty useless to me.

On the other hand my Logitech mouse works across the house, I have tried it as far as 6 meters away from a different room and it works fine. I must get a Logitech next time.

3.0 out of 5 stars A fair wireless kit, beware of the mouse, 9 Sep 2008

By	D. M. York (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 700 V2 - Keyboard and Mouse (Electronics)

The wired keyboard and mouse are a thing of the past and I am surprised that manufacturers still sell them. That said the wireless options can be incredibly expensive, to the point where I end up staring in disbelief at a mouse worth �100.00. As such this was a good option as it is relatively inexpensive and is a reputable brand. The installation is very easy since it is basically plug and play so you don't need to mess about whatsoever.

My single criticism for the product is the mouse. It has a habit of going to sleep which I have found to be tremendously annoying. Until I was advised by another user I found that I had to constantly reconnect the mouse every few minutes of inactivity, though actually all you do need to do is to press one of the buttons. This however was not clearly marked on the box and so is not always obvious to a basic user.

Otherwise though, very good and should you just want a simple keyboard and mouse this will be your best and most reliable option.

This is not wireless... if you want it not to lose any characters while you're writing, you have to stay VERY close to the receiver, like 20 cm (and even then it's not perfect)... Read more
