The setup is simple: it includes putting two AA batteries each in the mouse and the keyboard (four batteries are included), plugging in the receiver to a USB port, syncing the units, and installing the software. Although the printed user guide is a bit sparse, the online user manual is detailed, with instructions on how to set up the hardware and how to use the software to customize the mouse's scrollwheels and the keyboard's function buttons. However, if you don't want to take the time to fiddle with all the specifics, the set does work as a plug-and-play unit with default settings for all the system-control and Internet function buttons.
This black-and-silver set features six media-control keys, six system-control hot keys, and six Internet function keys. And for more functionality, the keyboard has a left-side scrollwheel that can also serve as a volume control or--if you press it--a task-switch tool that displays the programs currently running. The 800dpi mouse is comfortable, works smoothly on most surfaces, and fits both left- and right-handed users, but we wouldn't mind more than the three buttons. An extra button might, for example, function as a Back button on the Internet.
