 Very pleased with Keyboard/Mouse October 17, 2007

I ordered this keyboard and mouse set to replace an older Microsoft ergonomic keyboard. I was quite pleased with how comfortable the keyboard felt, the hand rest on the keyboard is leather-like vinyl and soft to the touch. The noise from the keyboard is more muted than the previous version that I had. The mouse looks like it would be awkward, as it is stubby and tall, but I found it very comfortable to use. The thumb cavity on the side of the mouse is a textured plastic which provides a bit of gripping ability.
Among the strong points in the keyboard and the mouse:
-There are five buttons at the top of the keyboard which can be customized to run a command (command line with agruments even) to open a program or perform an action. This was a pleasant surprise
-The mouse controls (scrolling wheel which can also be pushed side to side, L and R mouse buttons and two buttons above the thumb) can be customized. Mine are set to copy and paste which I find convenient but there are an array of options.
-The single RF receiver handles both the mouse and the keyboard, so only one USB port is taken up by the two devices. The absense of clutter on the desktop is great!
-The scroll wheel on the mouse doesn't feel like you scroll in 'notches' or clicks.. but is a smooth scrolling experience
Among criticisms I have:
-The 'B' key gets partially wedged from time to time under the faceplate. The key can still be depressed and this 'stuck' position doesn't result in stutter B's, but still can be annoying.
The space bar is curved and can be a bit clunky when pushed on the extreme left or right side by a thumb... works but is it makes it the noisiest key on the board.
-The function keys on the keyboard start out mapped to commands but this can be shut off by depressing the F Lock key (thank God!) so you can have regular F1, F2, F3... behavior
I spend a lot of time at the keyboard and this one is definitely the most comfortable one I've used.
Very comfortable positioning for heavy use. Delighted with it! March 5, 2008

I've been using my 7000 wireless for approx. 4 months now and have had no problems with it at all. In fact, I'm delighted. I use the computer 7+ hours a day so the keyboard has had pretty heavy use. I find the positioning extremely comfortable. It took me just a couple of hours to adjust to the shape of the keyboard and now I can't do without it. The keys have a nice touch - positive but not at all "clunky". I like the feel and positioning of the mouse better than my previous logitech ergonomic mouse. It's solid, reasonably heavy but glides perfectly well with little movement on a mousemat. Performance of both deteriorates when the batteries get low but there are warning lights that tell you when battery level is low. Batteries last for me approx. 2 months.
Only quibble is that 3 of my letters have started to rub off already - as a touch-typist this isn't crucial for me, but if you don't touch-type you might want to bear that in mind. Keyboard and mouse travel every day between home and work (in a musical keyboard bag!) and are none the worse for wear. The keyboard hot keys are useful - mail, web, volume, and my particular favourite, calculator. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied and have found these to be great value for money.
Love the keyboard, like the mouse May 4, 2009

I got this to get rid of the wire clutter, to replace the computer remote that won't work with my new computer, and to help with my lack of manual dexterity. I am hooking my tv to my computer and wanted the option of using this at a distance.
The keyboard is very comfortable. The favorites, zoom, and page forward/backward buttons are just the icing on the cake.
I like the mouse, but haven't been able to find the optimal surface for using it. The distance is all I need. The mouse is a little uncomfortable without a wrist rest, but I have one so no big. The progamable buttons are a bonus.
MS Natural Keyboard/Mouse June 12, 2009

IF you like this ergonomic style of hand placement on the keyboard, the MS 7000 is a great product. Fits well, good key action, lots of helpful internet buttons (maybe, maybe not, depending on your need for these). The way-out mouse takes some getting used to, but works great once you get the new "side-ways" position down - I found I need more forearm-elbow support than before, but that's ok. My only complaint is that both (of course) require batteries - more of those to recycle.
AWESOME keyboard/mouse set !!! June 23, 2009

This keyboard/mouse is awesome !!!
I was a logitech ergo user before, and was cautious about switching to this one. However, this set exceeded all my expectations.
Extremely convenient.
Function keys are awesome.
Everything where you'd expect it.
Good wireless range, long battery life (and i'm using it all day).
Soft sensitive mouse. No key delays or even wake up time.
One more little thing - if you have S-PVA monitor then letters on the keyboard will almost "glow" in the dark. Much better then even macbook pro lighted keyboard.
Can't praise it enough.
