Setup is stupid easy: just plug in the dongle and go. No pairing - no drivers, everything is recognized by the computer as a standard keyboard & mouse, and this will even work pre-boot. Very handy during OS installations.
The range is good enough that I can use this to control my pc from across the room when using it as a media center, and in fact it is good enough that I can even play mouse/keyboard RPG type games like The Witcher with very little noticeable lag or jitter from a distance of over 8 feet. It's not seemless - I think that at this distance I -would- notice problems playing FPS-type games, but for games where twitch isn't super important, or non-game applications, you're fine. Range starts to become an issue at over 10 feet but I've never really put it too the test beyond that.
The battery life is excellent too. All I can say is "months", provided you remember to switch off the mouse when not in use.
Speaking of the mouse, it's worth noting that the mouse makes an excellent laptop accessory, as it has a nice little divit to store the usb dongle when not in use. If there is one weird quirk I've noticed - and this is specific to one game only - on Dragon Age: Origins, the scroll wheel doesn't work right. This is extremely weird because it works normally in literally every other application I use, and I've double and triple checked my application settings for the specific game, but strangely, it appears to be the mouse. Switching to any other mouse I have and the scrolling in that game works fine.
The keyboard is on par with wired keyboards in the $10-$20 range, with my only complaint being the smallish F-keys. You get used to them, but they are not optimal. If you are familiar with the standard Microsoft wired keyboard 400, you know what you are in for.
One last thing worth mentioning: this combo works with Xbox 360s and PS3s as well. While I have never had need for a mouse on either console, the keyboard works just fine, and are 'plug & play', just plug the dongle into a USB port and the keyboard works.
5 stars - awesome price, awesome battery life, reliable hardware. I would deduct a half-star for the tiny F keys and the DA:O glitch, but since amazon doesn't award half-stars, I have to round up for all the other great things about this kit.
My hand is not so so big, not so small. About two years ago, I tried to buy a wireless mouse, I didn't think too much and I bought Logitech V220, because I trusted the brand. But the mouse is really terrible for me, it's too small, and the back of the mouse is swelling too much, which made my thumb and pinkie hard to grasp the mouse, but that's how I steer the mouse. Then, I realize I have to carefully choose the shape of a mouse instead of just looking at the brand, after all, it's for everyday use. If your hand is not that big, My advice for you is that you should avoid the keyword "mouse for notebook", 'cause usually it's very small and hard to use. Unfortunately, the designers I think they assume a wireless mouse should be for notebooks, so they design small mice.
The second mouse I bought is Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500, I was very disappointed, this mouse is not a bit comfort for me, and it's not a cheap mouse, even not wireless. The size of the mouse is no longer that small for me, but its hip is too fat too wide, and the back of the mouse is also swelling. If you look at the photos of mice produced by microsoft, you'll find that most of them shape like this one, I guess they are for big hands.
Actually I like the mouse in my office very much, which is the default mouse of my HP workstation. The mouse is pretty simple, its part number is UAE96. This is really an irony, the best mouse for me is usually the cheapest one of each brand. For me, it means more regular shape, and less tricky freaky useless so-called features.
Recently I put my dirty keyboard and mouse into a sink filled with water, and I couldn't make them work after such cleaning. So I have to buy a mouse again. I went to a nearby Best Buy and found there were only a small number of samples to try. After trying some samples, I found Logitech is no longer a great brand, the mice are uncomfortable for use, and expensive, but their look and feel are cheap. The relative best one for me is still the cheapest one, M310, which I heard is an updated version of M110, but for me, it's worse than the M110 I used before. The M110 looks very similar to the basic mice from HP or other computer manufacturers, I guess Logitech is the OEM of these mice. Note that M325 is just like the V220 I owned, small, and now looks cheaper.
I then gave up trying to buy a mouse from Best Buy, and wanted to visit Fry's sometime later, hoping there are more samples. But Fry's is really far far away, and I haven't got a chance to visit for months, I started browsing Amazon again looking for the basic models from different brands. Then I found this one, before buying it, I went to youtube and glanced over several videos of un-boxing, then I am sure this is the shape I need. When it came to me after a week's free-saving trip, at first, I can't use it precisely, I think it's because the ratio of vertical movement to horizontal movement is different from my current mouse. And please pay attention to the distance between your mouse and the receiver. When they are not so close, the lag is noticeable. For those who felt the lag, maybe you need to plug the receiver into a front USB.
For the keyboard, I like its standard layout. Although it has no caps-lock indicator, I don't think it's a big problem. The function keys F1-F12 are really too small, which distract me sometimes. Why the hell must a wireless keyboard be smaller than a wired one.
For the wired keyboard on the tray,it's fine, but the wire dangles around. As for the mouse, I I ended up kicking the wire (undeneath the table) 5 times a day.
It's much more convenient now. There are several expensive ones on the market (I have one myself for my home). But for the keyboard tray, there is a restriction of the keyboard width. But the build is great, and the quality is awesome. Very Very reasonable.
