4 out of 5 stars Here's what I DON'T like about it.......2007-09-13

For those looking for a laptop-feel light-touch keyboard this is good, although keyboard preferences are a very personal choice. Here's what I DON'T like about it:

1) The required software/drivers took a long time to install.... I don't like the idea of saddling my computer with that much software just to type and use a mouse.

2) I refuse to download Microsoft's Genuine Advantage "Upgrade" on principal. All of my software is genuine and registered, but the way Microsoft tricked its users into downloading an upgrade that essentially spies on them is unacceptable, and it's caused users problems...

Immediately after installing the Desktop 7000 software, it said "There is an upgrade required", but when you try to download the upgrade, it's only available to those who have installed Microsoft's Genuine Advantage spyware. I may be obstinate, but I'm not doing it.

3) The keys are so smooth and light, you may feel like there's not enough "push back" to let you know when you've triggered a key. So far, I'm making more spelling errors typing at high speed than my previous keyboard because of that, but I'll probably get used to it.

5 out of 5 stars Entertainment Desktop 7000.......2007-09-04

I pre-ordered this the day it was released...Have been using it since February 2007...It has me so spoiled with it's luxurious feel...and the mouse is awesome!!!so smooth and perfectly accurate...I have recieved no lag time as other reviewers have stated and the batteries that were enclosed with it are still in it...Just for the record I spilled an entire cup of coffee in the keyboard with no consequences...Also Vista Ultimate has no issues returning from sleep considering it's wireless as I have had w/ other brands...I absolutely recommend it!

System used on-
Pentium 4 3.2 GHZ
2GB Ram
Vista Ultimate

Note to reviewer below:
Challenge accepted! I have never accidently hit any of the "touch" function keys or the escape key! ( w/ 2 inch fingernails)

2 out of 5 stars UNUSABLE for business.......2007-08-31

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING THIS KEYBOARD/MOUSE SET
First of all, maybe I should have read the description more carefully.

Microsoft calls this an "Entertainment" keyboard. I guess I can't be "entertained" at work because there are three things make this keyboard completely unusable for business:

1. No number pad. Major deductions for this. (I realize this is an "Entertainment" keyboard (whatever that means) but Microsoft should have made a second model exactly like this - one with a number pad and one without ... or do like Logitech did ... offer the keypad as a separate device)

2. The F-keys across the top are not actual keys. (That's not the problem). The problem is, they are touch sensitive. I challenge anyone to use this keyboard for a day without accidentally brushing a finger across the Escape key or F1 key at least a dozen times. Serious design flaw. Maybe it's cool that the F-keys are touch sensitive, but they DEFINITELY need to be farther away from the top row of keys on the keyboard!!

3. The third issue I have with this is on the mouse ... on previous mouse designs, the 'forward' and 'back' buttons were on the left side of the mouse (by yout thumb for those of you who are right-handed). On this design, the mouse is completely symmetrical. The 'back' button is still by your thumb, but the 'forward' button is on the right side of the mouse. I dont know about you, but I dont have a thumb growing out both sides of my hand. So who out there can tell me how to press this button without taking your hand off of the mouse... anyone? anyone? bueller? bueller?


That being said, two things make this keyboard/mouse WAY cool:

1. The keyboard design is nice, and the keys feel perfect (almost as nice as the keys on a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop).

2. This is the first time I have used a 'laser' mouse. I have to say it is MUCH better than an optical mouse. I always thought the laser mouse was a marketing gimmick but in fact this is the REAL way a mouse should feel.

So ... two stars.

Microsoft ... if you're reading this:
Please fix these three serious flaws on an otherwise great product!

5 out of 5 stars sleek low profile keyboard.......2007-08-24

I had a Logitech and had nothing but trouble. This is the perfect alternative. It is trouble free. It stays put and does not slide around on the desk. It take up very little space. When I shut down my computer I had to play with my logitech keyboard because my computer would not recognize it. I used logitech support 23 times. Microsoft has made a great keyboard!

5 out of 5 stars I love this keyboard.......2007-08-21

After having this keyboard for a month, I am so happy with it I decided to write my first review. I recently supplemented my laptop with a Vista desktop computer and didn't like the keyboard that came with the computer. I started having some wrist problems so decided to look at ergonomic keyboards. Wireless was a must. I tried the different keyboards and mouse(s; mice?) that I could find locally and decided I liked the feel of the microsoft keyboard the most, although this particular model wasn't available. After reading all the reviews, I decided to give it a try.

It took me a while to get used to the keyboard layout, then it just suddenly seemed natural. I really love it and I don't usually love inanimate objects! At first I blamed the keyboard when letters were dropped, but do not have a problem now that I am used to the keyboard. The keys have a crisp clean feel that only require a light touch but can handle it just as well when I am really "pounding" away. They are not "spongy" or "sticky" at all. I do enjoy typing on this keyboard! My wrist problems have disappeared. I have no problem with the space bar which some people noted on earlier models.

Not having a number pad was a deliberate trade off I made in order to have the keyboard fit on my desk's typing shelf. This is no problem for me since most of my work is straight typing and I was already adept at using the number keys above the letter keys anyway.

After having used a touchpad on laptops exclusively for a number of years I did not like going back to using a mouse. One annoyance with the mouse that came with my computer, in addition to the wrist problems, was that the scroll wheel moved with "little clicks". The Microsoft wheel moves smoothly with no clicky feeling or sound. It is also more ergonomically designed and much more comfortable than the earlier one I had. As a matter of fact I haven't used the touchpad on the keyboard at all even though it was another of the reasons I chose this model! More on it later!

The only complaint I have is that there is sometimes a lag time when I first start typing. That may be something in the computer though since it goes away when I have been typing a while.

I am still learning all the functions provided by this keyboard, but for just plain typing I don't think it can be beat!

    2 out of 5 stars Great functions but to low a range for a wireless.......2007-07-14

    I purchased this set because of the funtions it offered including the comfort keyboard that was curved and not all the way broken and a very quite scroll mouse...the keyboard had lots of great functions and while I was willing to overlook the questionable zoom slider on the keyboard that looked like it could break off at any moment...for the money I spent on a wireless keyboard and mouse I could not overlook the short range of about 6-8inches from the reciever...this went back the next day...I now have a Logitech MX3200 keyboard and mouse that I purchased from Dell online for $67 that has a much better range of 6-8 feet.

    2 out of 5 stars Blah.......2007-06-05

    Keyboard: Great. A solid product, and I have no complaints.

    Mouse: Poor. Eats batteries like mad. Not smooth or responsive at all; possibly a weak signal, however, mine was only a couple feet from the antenna. Also seems fussy when used with solid-color mousepads. Bah!

    Antenna: Eh, yet another space-waster. Why can't these things be contained in a smart little dongle, instead of in a big honkin paperweight that sits on my desk and ads to my spaghetti of cords? Other keyboards do it better, why can't Microsoft?

    Conclusion: I use the keyboard, which works fine for me, except that I resent the size of the antenna. As for the mouse, I THREW IT AWAY (yes, I actually did) and replaced it with a better stand-alone model. In short, if you can buy the keyboard by itself, go for it and just buy a different mouse sepatately.

    1 out of 5 stars Bad for living room or far away.......2007-05-14

    I placed my mac in my living room because there is another pc in my room. I decided to buy a cordless desktop to avoid wires running across the living room. I bought this for cheap at another major store. Once installed it was a hassle to setup and after that it became a pain in the arse. The main culprit is very weak signal. The mouse would jitter; the keyboard would become unresponsive. It would only work nearly well if I'm at a distance of 2 feet, at most. Do not buy this if you are unable to get this close to the receiver. This is a very poor product. I recommend the Logitech brand; it works perfectly.

    4 out of 5 stars not entirely plug-and-play.......2007-05-09

    What you're looking at on this page is Microsoft's latest wireless keyboard & mouse setup. You can also buy the keyboard and mouse separately; this is the keyboard and the mouse together in one pacakge.

    On the one hand, I love this keyboard, designed to replace Microsoft's older model, the white ergonomic keyboard, famous for innovatively featuring a vast space between the keys corresponding to each hand. As far as I know, that keyboard is currently being phased out, and Microsoft is only offering this less dramatic version instead.

    This one has a built-in, sturdy, non-detachable palm rest and the rows of keys are is curved in the ergonomic style, though not to the extent that they were in Microsoft's former incarnation. Additionally, there is now no space between the keys.

    The keyboard has a solid, smooth, and very comfortable feel, but there is something you should know.

    The keyboard needs software installed (they give you a disk) to run properly. If you don't install the software (for example because you don't have the disk or you don't have administrative privledges over your machine), then the keyboard won't work right.

    The lower, basic keys will still all work, but none of the bells and whistles will, including the function keys. And there'll be no way to remap them to work right since Windows will simply not register any input from anything except the basic keys.

    So this is something you might want to think about if you're thinking about getting this to replace your keyboard at work: unless your computer administrator allows it, you won't be able to use most of the keyboard's special features.

    The mouse suffers no analogous impairment in functionality, however. In case you're interested, the "wheel" on the mouse scrolls smoothly: there is no clicking.

    3 out of 5 stars Good for general use; not for me.......2007-04-12

    Overall, this keyboard/mouse set works pretty well. For general computer use (surfing the web, checking email, etc), it'll serve you just fine. However, for anyone doing any gaming or image editing, this set just won't do.

    The keyboard has an F-lock, which is all right, except in gaming I frequently use the F keys AND the Print Screen button. In order to do Print Screen, I have to turn off F-lock, and then hopefully remember to turn it back on. A bit of an annoyance, but not so bad by itself.

    The BIG gaming problem comes when you need to hold down a key for a long period of time, for example to run. It will send the signal that you're pressing the key for a while, then stop. You then have to let off the key, and press down again to continue running. Running long distances? Get ready to mash those keys down many many times.

    As far as image editing goes, the problem comes from the scroll wheel. It's rather non-responsive. Middle click is REALLY hard to do, and middle click and drag is nearly impossible.

    Product Description

    It's the mouse designed for mobile professionals: compact, convenient, and comfortable. With a protective carrying case that fits neatly next to your notebook, the MouseMan Traveler goes where you go. And its optical sensor and elegant design lets you mouse just about anywhere.

    Amazon.com Review

    Logitech's MouseMan Traveler makes a sleek and nimble companion, providing reliable optical mousing on the road or at your desk. It's light, easy to set up, and perfectly suited for use in either the right or left hand. The mouse is optimized for a USB connection, but a handy PS/2 adapter accommodates older computers, too.

    Features
    Besides being small and fast, the MouseMan Traveler simplifies Web browsing through Logitech's handy WebWheel. The WebWheel, like the mouse's left and right buttons, can serve any purpose you choose--you can easily assign functions such as click/select, auto scroll, double-click, etc. in the Mouse Properties window. When designated specifically as the default, however, the wheel not only scrolls up and down within a given browser window, but also performs standard browser functions like Reload, Back, and Stop, reducing your mousing time and, accordingly, your wrist strain.

    Within your browser, simply press the wheel like a button to access the WebWheel menu, and all additional options appear in a small, circular field immediately beneath the cursor. You can even configure the menu to let you zip to your favorite sites without so much as having to move your cursor to your favorites list. WebWheel functionality requires Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT 4.0, Me, or XP for the PC and Mac OS 8.6 or later for Macintosh computers, as well as an Internet service provider (ISP) account.

    Compatibility
    If you're using a PC, make sure you have Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT 4.0, Me, or XP; an available USB or PS/2 port (Windows 98, 2000, Me, or XP is required for USB hookup); and a CD-ROM drive. Mac users need to be using Mac OS 8.6 or later, with both a USB port and a CD-ROM drive. --Michael Mikesell

    5 out of 5 stars Small hands I've got!.......2006-07-23

    I do have very small hands and I have always found the stock mouse to be too large and too heavy. This is also a problem for precision as I am a computer animator and a mouse that is too heavy is also too slow to keep up with my work. This mouse is so light and so small that it keeps up and doesn't weigh me down. Since my first version of this mouse I have gotten two more computers and each time I have again ordered this mouse for my new system, I've tried others but none compare. Light and small!

    5 out of 5 stars nice mouse, beware the software.......2004-12-10

    If you have a trackpad on your laptop, and you want to continue using it, do not install the software that comes with the mouse. It will override the trackpad and really screw up its functions. Simply plug the mouse in, and it should work fine.

    4 out of 5 stars For my desktop!.......2004-11-08

    I've never understood why desktop mice need to be so large. Works good/looks good.

    5 out of 5 stars The perfect laptop companion.......2004-06-09

    I love this little thing. A lot of travel mice are too small, or the wrong shape, or easily broken, but this mouse is just right. The buttons have just the right amount of give to them, the scroll wheel is firm but not too firm, and it tracks well whether I'm using it on a tabletop, on my pants leg, or even on my laptop's wrist rest. Plus, it comes with a sturdy carrying case, so I don't have to worry about it getting damaged in my laptop bag, and an extension cord, in case the three-foot cord on the mouse isn't long enough for whatever reason. It looks stylish, too!

    4 out of 5 stars Mouse Hunt.......2003-10-10

    This MouseMan is a great little mouse for your laptop. It's attractive and small enough to use it below the keys. It also comes with a little bag so that storing it is easy and doesn't lead to knotted cables. The only problem that I've had with this mouse is the software it came with, hence the 4 stars. It doesn't allow for the full use of the mouse as I would like to use it (clicking down on the roll ball to take me backwards on websites). And downloading the software from the logitech site offers the same thing.

        2 out of 5 stars Cheap attachment screws, mouse support flimsy etc........2007-08-02

        The attachment screws to secure unit underneath table are cheap, they strip easily. The mouse attachment causes the keyboard support to lean to the right and as you type it bounces up and down.

        These people charge premium dollars for their product and put in cheap screws to attach the unit...stay away...bought it becuase I had to.

          Product Description

          The general layout of the standard keyboard was designed before the introduction of the mouse. Since number entry was one of the primary functions of the keyboard at that time, having the numeric keypad on the right side made sense. Nowadays, most users use the mouse far more than the numeric keypad, so the keypad now occupies the space where the mouse should be. The Evoluent Mouse-Friendly Keyboard has a more sensible layout with the numeric keypad on the left so your mouse may be much closer on the right.

          5 out of 5 stars Very nice keyboard, left hand number pad good with CAD.......2007-09-05

          In the past I made my own left hand keyboard layout by using a laptop USB number pad on left side of my keyboard. This keyboard has a nice touch and takes up less space. I do CAD work and operate the keyboard with my left hand and the mouse with the right.

          5 out of 5 stars Nice Keyboard especially for games which uses the number pad.......2007-06-16

          I bought this keyboard especially for Silent Hunter 4 where you use the + and - keys for time compression and the other keys on the numpad for view shots. I use the right hand for the mouse and the left hand for the numpad keys. It works great with this game. It also has a web button and an email button which work great! The soft touch butttons are nice. However, people with big hands might find this keyboard alittle cramped for their fingers.
