I have been using computers since 1970. That means I have a lot of experience using different keyboards and mouse. I've had the programable keyboards and used them to the fullest to enhance my production. Let me say: THIS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE HAVE ALL THE PROGRAMMING BUILDT INTO IT.
Two fingers on my left hand are partially paralyzed so there is no feeling in them. That makes it difficult to feel the keys and cause a lot of errors on a normal kekyboard. This particular keyboard has all but eliminated those problems for me. Because the keys are a little larger and layed out a little more dynamically for comfort, my accuracy is fabulous. If you have typos frequently, because of misplaced keystrokes, you must try this keyboard.
In the past I would purchase programmable keyboards to speed up production. This one is already programmed to the hilt. One keystroke can perform many options that normally call for browsing and multiple strokes. If you take the time to learn what they do, you will never regret it. With one key, I can perform a spell check or another key will print screen. Another will take me to my home page on the internet. The list goes on and on. Try it.
Now for the mouse. I have always complained and fought with the cords attached to the mouse and keyboard, no more. I do not care If I have to replace batteries, which held me back for a long time from trying it out. I was always pulling and shifting the cord so it would not hinder use of the mouse. Now I do not even think about it. It too is enhanced with extra features. I have learned to bump the side of the mouse to easilly go back a page. It is larger and has a nice fit. Also sensitivity has a maximum amount of programmable sensitivity and speed. I love it too.
I must admit there are two issues I do not care for. To turn off the mouse, you must remove the USB chip and attach it to the bottom of the mouse. Otherwise it will drain your battery while not in use.
The second is range. If I wanted a keyboard and mouse to use for wireless use on my television, this is not the right choice. It only works within 3 - 5 feet maximum from the USB chip.
I do not know what more to say. Purchase of this simple, inexpensive keyboard and mouse has set me free. It has increased my comfort, speed and throughout production. I will never go back to using a mouse or keyboard with a cord. Now you can save yourself a lot of research and testing by getting this set. It has a satisfaction guarantee.
