Great looking product ; Keyboard layout ; Comfortable keyboard arm rest ; Keeps a great connection

Software could be more robust ; Mouse scroll wheel doesn't give you tight control ; Ergonomic/Ambidextrous design might turn a few away

Since the Desktop 4000 is designed for Windows Vista, that's the OS I used for testing. Installation was simple, no complications to speak of. Once completed, you will have Microsoft Mouse and Microsoft Keyboard icons on the desktop, which are...

Specifically, the mouse is the Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0 model that Microsoft introduced in September 2003, featuring the company's Tilt Wheel Technology -- a somewhat soft, oversized scroll wheel that rocks left and right as well as rolling up and...

Wow. Well first I needed to find drivers and updates for the keayboard and mouse to FINALLY work

It's a great product, but...the space bar is a little stiff on the keyboard. And the wireless range is a little small, plus you have to keep it a foot or two away from your wireless router or the two frequencies might mix. I had to scratch my head...

30-some dollars for a keyboard that's double the price at the local office store, how cool is that ; Thanks to the riser design under the keys the coffee I spilled on the keyboard did no damage ; I bought 2 of these MS 4000 keyboard combos. One of them...

The log off button is next to the Calc hot key. big problem unless you are very used to the board

Ok i've gone through a lot of comfort style keyboards and this one is ok after using for over a year the buttons want to stick a little even after cleaning, BUT if you have kids or a family that likes to accidently spill stuff on your keyboard that...

Searching for a new keyboard after using this one for awhile there is only one thing I don't get, the "zoom" button on the side...for the whole time i've had this keyboard this button has never worked even once I got no clue what its supposed to be...

Ergonomic keyboard is nice

Mouse is aweful. Using my wireless logitech laser mouse instead which by the way is great ; 2 stars for half of the product (the mouse) being lame

First: To the people who write honest, technically oriented reviews on this site -- Thanks! You've save me lots of grief and time during builds. As for this Keyboard and mouse set, it is great for teachers using Smart Boards in various classroom set...

This set takes some getting used to the various key assignments available by software. If a person lacks patience to learn to set up the keyboard and mouse to fit their particular situation, it might not be advisable for them to use especially if they...
