Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this keyboard and mouse combo to replace one that I sold. It is compact, and in some ways that means inconvenient to use.
It is nice in the sense that it incorporates all of the keys you would want, including the arrow keys and number pad. However, to save room, they jam everything together. In the end, you get a del/end/pagedown/pageup/help/and home keys all pushed up against the side, so if you are used to using delete, you are going to have to get used to finding it in a nontypical area. The backspace key has also been shrunk down to a much smaller size, which most people would find an inconvenience.
If you need the space and wanted a smaller keyboard, it does the trick. The keyboard is fairly small, even cutting off corners that are wasted space on most keyboards, yet still includes all the keys you would use. The mouse is also slightly smaller than I would be used to, but still fine. Both are USB, and also compatible with a Mac computer, for those who are interested in not spending $80 on the Macs slimline overpriced keyboards.
The keyboard is said to be compatible with all forms of windows(98 and up) and mac, so this is a sure thing buy, you won't have to worry about incompatibility issues that some computers may have.
I give it a 4 star because it is a compact keyboard and mouse, and you can't blame it for being just that. I still am taking a star off because it is a cheap keyboard, with some inconvenient key placement. In my opinion, I would have traded the included hotkeys for a larger backspace button and better placed delete key.
