Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Nice features include the on/off switches on both the keypad and mouse, backspace, and vol. control buttons. No S/W driver CD required to use this - just plug in the USB base/transceiver. Mouse has two buttons and a scroll wheel. The USB/Transceiver has a snap for connecting it together with the keypad for storage.
Once or twice the keypad did not immediately attach to the USB base transceiver, requiring that I press the "connect" button on the bottom of the keypad - probably RF interference w/ my other wireless keypad. Didn't have trouble with the mouse attaching.
Mouse movement overall is pretty smooth. I tried using the mouse with both Windows XP and Vista. The first time I tried the mouse in Vista it was .1% intermittently jittery, and sometimes the mouse button was not responsive, and I had to click it a second time. I haven't been using this very long, so I'm guessing that's attributed to RF interference from my other desktop keyboard. This is only a minor nuisance so far for me.
(note: I tried the mouse later on a second time with both XP and Vista, and it was very fluid and responsive)
The mouse is small and narrow - about half the size of a normal mouse. Movement for its size is tolerable, but I have to lift my hand off of the mouse and hold the thing by the tips of my fingers to use the scroll wheel or click buttons. I suppose its size is useful when sitting at a small desk or small coffee table.
The USB/transceiver's cap does not snap onto the back end of the transceiver, making the cap easy to lose when connected to a PC.
As for Vista compatibility, both keypad and mouse are working with Vista on my Dell Inspiron laptop.
I didn't have problems with the keypad reported by other reviewer(s), but I did notice that due to keypad size, it is sometimes possible to press two keys at the same time. Otherwise, I didn't experience any negative aspects using the keypad.
In summary, this is a great value for travelers on the go. Everyday desktop users will not like the small mouse.
