Good sturdy quality in construction, looks built to last. Nice keypad feeling buttons. Good size number keypad. Like the mouse's feeling in my palm and the track ball is useful. Like the small size of the transmitter and the main keypad. Power consumption is low and the batteries last quite awhile. Has excellent range. I could be in another room 15 feet away and enter data. The only thing I don't like is that sometimes when entering numbers using the keypad, you get doubly entries for one keystroke, so I have to spend extra time reviewing the completed spreadsheet for errors.

I have been using this keyboard for over 1 year. So far, this has been my favorite keyboard ever. I do a lot of gaming and sit in a lot of unusual places, so I wanted something slim. This keyboard suited my purposes perfectly. It even had a detachable keypad so I would not be bothered by worthless extra space when playing games not requiring a keypad. Although my keyboard has taken a lot of abuse, it is still functioning. Pros: Does not eat up a lot of batteries. I am on the computer every day for over 40 hours a week. I have not noticed any additional battery costs in my budget. Slim and sleek. It is easy to store away or hold in your lap, unlike larger cumbersome keyboards. Decent range. It gets much better range than my Microsoft Wireless mouse. Cons: The default mouse is worthless. There is no middle click functionality. This forces me to use two usb ports and a different wireless mouse. Conflicts with other wireless devices sometimes by shielding signals. The keys detach after much use. My "A" key has been detaching for a while and the plastic holder piece broke the other day. Now I am left without a "A" key pad. My "f6" key has also takes abuse as it is the auto-save key on various games. Other than that the keys are working fine. When the key only half depresses as stated in some reviews, usually some garbage is under it and needs to be cleared away. I have endured my share of frustration reattaching keys. Expensive. Tip to manufacturer, market a version without the mouse for less cost. Also include an extra plastic key holder to repair broken keys.

The keyboard and mouse work very well, however I have not been as pleased with the range. I've found that you need to keep the USB dongle within line of sight for the proper signal strength. The keyboard is very flat (which can be a good thing if thats how you prefer to type) I've been spoiled my my Logitech Wave which is my other PC keyboard. Overall if your looking for space saving, mobility, and clean lines - this is the set for you!
