Product Description
Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 (English British)
This review is from: Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 (Electronics)
I bought this as a replacement for a Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave - with Mouse which was starting to show it's age after a couple of years. This keyboard is not only easier to type on, it's also got a better curve to it, more reliable (or at least so far, after 2 months).
It's just big enough to be a permanent keyboard without causing any wrist strain, has very light keys which allows for quick typing, and doesn't have loads of extra functions that you don't really need.
All round a great little keyboard.

I bought this to replace a logitech diNovo which had a broken key after several years of good service. I have a cluttered desk and don't need a numeric pad so I like the small wireless keyboards. I chose this one over the new LogiTech diNovo because it was much less expensive and had less multi-media stuff - my PC is a work machine and I don't want lighting under the keys or stereo controls.
The keys on my old Logitech DiNovo feel nicer to type on than this Microsoft one. On the other hand this one is not bad - it is much better than the cheapo Dell keyboard that came with the PC or a low end Logitech Wireless keyboard. There are better but this is not bad to type on and quite acceptable.
There is a slightly disconcerting delay if you haven't used the keyboard for a few minutes then start typing again. I suspect it goes into a power down mode to save battery power and needs to wake up before responding again. This doesn't happen on my old Logitech wireless keyboard - on the other hand it had 6 AA batteries and this has two. So its a tradeoff - lag against low power. Its a minor nuisance but something you get used to.
Overall, if your not bothered about the price and like multimedia features I'd go for the new diNovo otherwise this is a good compromise choice.

My first MS Keyboard minus number pad and so far so good. Having to get used to using the Function key controls more than before especially for Home and End controls which I never knew I used so often. Small and concise with the only drawback being the inadequate rubber pads - just not enough height to overcome a less than perfect desk surface. A thin rubberised pad has fixed that when at home. For those with no need for a numberpad and all that keyboard width it's a good purchase. Luckily I had a bluetooth adapter spare having thought my new latop came bluetooth enabled. You live and learn.
