"Excellent product, full of easy to use features!"
Pros: Ergonomics of both mouse and keyboard are great, plenty of bells and whistles that are functional and fun!
Cons: It is possible to have glitches and problems -albeit workable issues with fixes in most cases.
Summary: I first saw one of these in a local computer superstore and liked the look and gadgetry. It reminded me of the older ergonomic wired keyboards some of my office mates were clinging to in the office. Since my profession requires a great deal of computer time and on-line research, why not have a unit that was practical AND fun? Searched around for the best price and began checking reviews to see what these were like in the "real" world. As with any tech product, there will be praise and horror stories. Since the praise outweighed the horror from the review sites I respected, I took the plunge, and I'm glad I did! Easy to set up and get started, and I have not experienced ANY of the problems thus far, but we'll check back in a few months to be sure. Time is always the best judge. Keyboard is great once you get friendly with it, and I (being a toy and gadget person) love the hot keys and quick step functions. If nothing else, it keeps one from being bored. There's tons to do just to customize it and learn all the shortcuts and extras. The mouse is the smoothest I have used(fits the hand extremely well) and that is going back over two decades of computer time. For the people who rant at the ergnomics, why would you buy one in the first plsce to complain about it? The MS curved keyboard has been vastly improved from the large space in the middle days, and you see what it looks like before you buy it, correct? For those that complain about lag and connectivity issues, these are usually things that positioning and experience can rectify. I have had none of those issues. The only thing it did do wrong was upset the screen saver and that has a workaround to correct it if need be. All in all it is a wonderful product for the price - and a blast when you can find them for less than the common retail. I am very pleased with this product and consider it money WELL spent. I like being able to control so many functions from right at the keyboard, I surf a lot, and it makes it easier and more enjoyable. For all of the complaints MS receives, this is one product they got right!!
