Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000 Wireless Keyboard - Black, Silver from Microsoft in Keyboards

What's great about it: That it is wireless. ... What's not so great: Many things, but especially the battery life. "I rarely write bad reviews or reviews for that manner. But honestly I had to write a review about this particular product. Mainly just to warn buyers. The price in my opinion is not worth the technology for one thing. The second thing is the battery life on the mouse. The life on it is horrendously short. When you replace the batteries in the mouse, they only last about one month. Trust me, I have tried 3 different types of brand new batteries(Energizer, Duracell and a Rechargeable Energizer type) since I have owned this keyboard and mouse combo. All seem to give the same results, which convinces me the BlueTrack technology on the mouse is an energy hog. And in my opinion not worth the money. I did not notice a difference in quality between my old Microsoft Wireless mouse that had the red laser type. It was no more accurate or dexterous than my red laser mouse was on any surface. My old red laser mouse had a battery life of up to 5 months I would guess. So I am highly disappointed in this purchase. My next keyboard and mouse combo will be back with the old technology(which will be very soon, since I just had to replace my batteries AGAIN for the mouse before writing this review). There is one positive I will say about the combo, the keyboard does have a longer battery life, maybe 3 months. But again I just don't think it is worth the money.

The mouse and keyboard are extremely easy and comfortable to use. Battery life on both mouse and keyboard are amazing. I have not replaced the batteries on the mouse since last one month. Great value for money product.

What's great about it: Strong wireless connection. ... What's not so great: Mouse wheel is little sensitive. "Very good Microsoft keyboard. Nice soft keys. Very comfortable design. Strong wireless connection. The mouse is nice but the the scroll wheel is a little sensitive. It uses BlueTrack Technology which means it works on any surface. I am using it on my desk without a mouse pad and it works good.
