Dont buy
Reviewed by Tony. Review Posted 09/02/2010
Keyboard works well, but no LED for Caps/Num Locks.
Mouse is worst Ive ever used, extremely uncomfotable and inaccurate. Very jumpy mouse pointer and difficult to select things. Buttons are unresponsive as well. Also it goes to sleep too quicly to improve battery life, then you have to click LH button to wake it. Sometimes it never wakes up.
Ive tried on another PC and it is just as bad. Worst Microsoft hardware Ive ever purchased and I used to be a big fan (though never a fan of their software).
