3.0 out of 5 stars Better Products Available, 11 Mar 2008
By Richard Heeks (Manchester United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We've been using the Microsoft 4000 for several months. It was easy to set up, works OK (e.g. not had any problems with lag), and some members of the household really like it, particularly the young and easily-impressed who think it's great to have innumerable extra function buttons and sliders on their keyboard even though, in practice, they hardly ever use them.

Personally, I have a set of niggling problems with it:

a) The left Shift key is the same size as an ordinary letter key, and there's a backslash key between it and the "Z". For touch typists that's a real pain - you keep missing the Shift key.

b) The keys are really clunky in size and action.

c) The integral and unadjustable wrist rest is a pain if you don't like its size or material.

d) The mouse movement, even when set on maximum under Windows, is too slow and limited for my liking.

e) It's a socking great beast of a keyboard, taking up a lot of room on the desktop.

After much research including the various Microsoft and Logitech models, my own recommendation is the Belkin F8E846uk

2.0 out of 5 stars Decent Keyboard, poor Mouse, 25 Nov 2007
By B. N. Guarino (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this a few weeks ago to replace my aged wireless keyboard and mouse set (also Microsoft).
First impressions were good, it arrived well packaged, was easy to set up and looks the part. It installed and worked fine on my Vista machine as well.

The keyboard is split in the ergonomic style, and this took a bit of getting used to. If you already have a keyboard like this then this wont be a problem. The actual keybard in operation is good, with all shortcut keys doing exactly what they should, and the keys feeling very tactile to press. My only gripe is the zoom slider, which feels a little cheap and is a bit of a gimmicky feature.

However it is the mouse that lets this package down. As soon as I started to use it, I noticed that its scroll wheel is absolutely awful. It doesnt have the 'click' motion that almost every other scroll mouse i have ever used has, and feels sticky and cheap. It makes scrolling imprecise and slow. This was especially frustrating as I spend a lot of time on the internet and navigating documents- both tasks which require a lot of scrolling.

I gave this set a fair chance, but after a week it had to go back to amazon. Good keyboard, let down by a poor mouse.
