keyboard and mouse combos

I am overwhelmed with the ease of installation and thoughfulness of this package. What a bargain!

I really like being able to plug the rechargable mouse into a USB port to recharge it. The instructions said to install the charging cord to a USB port on the back of the computer or the batteries would not recharge, but I plugged it into my powered USB hub and it charges fine. The wireless freedom is better than I anticipated. The optics didn't work well on the desk glass top so I'm still using a mouse pad.

Too bad Kensington didn't make the keyboard rechargable, but the batteries change out easily, and I'll probably use rechagable batteries later. The keys have a different feel (to say nothing about their shape), and there is no positive feedback. My keyboard resides under my desk in a pullout drawer and the best advantage for me is that now there is no cord tugging the keyboard out of place when I pull the drawer out.

Taskbar icons for the mouse and keyboard allow me to check battery status, and the mouse continues to work when being charged. Everything worked flawlessly even without any software installation, and the download from Kensington worked fine. A label on the included CD recommended going to the website for the most current drivers. Lots of driver packages to pick from, but only one is appropriate and it covers keyboard and mouse both.

One of the most pleasant computer things to happen to me in twenty years!

I am typing this review from the room next door to my computer, I can't even see the screen. I just bought this setup today to replace a normal keyboard, and so far, I am very impressed. The keyboard has oddly shaped buttons that look weird at first, but once you use them, it makes sense. The mouse is comfortable and very accurate. The utilites that come with the keyboard are rather handy, such as a meter that tells you how charged the mouse batteries are so that you know when to plug it into the charging cord. The only thing I am mildly worried about is the longevity of the products due to the low price, but the 5 year warranty eased my fears. Everything feels sturdy though. I don't feel like typing anymore, I have to many games to keep trying out (Call of Duty is great from a comfortable distance). So, if you want wireless, but are on a budget, I strongly suggest this keyboard. (NOTE: this review was editted for typos after the author returned to his computer)
