Most Liked Positive Review

Cute and comfortable keyboard

I needed a keyboard which could provide ergonomic support for my hands. This keyboard is comfortable, the position of the keys is good (once you get used to the change), and the keys require just the right amount of pressure. I just wish it were a bit shorter so I could use my mouse in my keyboard tray beside my keyboard. However, almost every other full sized keyboard is wider than this one, so it is really the fault of the person who designed the width of the keyboard tray on my desk (18 3/4 inches).

I liked the keyboard and the mouse ... until I hooked them up. The range is limited. From 4' away, the cursor control was jumpy. I had to use a USB extension cable to bring the receiver dongle to within 2' for it to be usable. The keyboard was warped so that it rocked when you typed unless you put a spacer under one corner. Microsoft must be doing something funny with the key/mouse software to cater to Windows 7. Although they functioned in IE and other Microsoft apps, in many of my programs, the function keys didn't do anything, and the scroll wheel didn't zoom/scroll, etc. I went into the control panel but couldn't find any way to get it to work normally. By comparison, a cheaper package from Logitech worked perfectly right out of the box -- F keys worked, scroll wheel worked, etc. And, even with their dongle plugged into the back of the PC on the floor behind my desk, I can mouse all the way from the bathroom 25' away ... if the need arises :<) .

Really love the fact that a USB device is what connects the Keyboard and mouse. And it can be in the rear of the PC and still works great. Got the combo on sale and that made it a no-brainer.

Very good product. But one thing is missing, it doesn't have any led light when using in dark nor does it work when your pc on stand by, when click on any keys.

Comments about Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000:

High quality, comfortable keyboard and mouse combo. Good alternative to laptop keyboard and trackpad. One minor limitation is there is no option to split the keyboard and mouse. The receiver for both units are unique to both and since there is only one receiver, you can not use the keyboard on one machine and the mouse on another.

Comments about Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000:

This product is better than 4000. The keyboard is more comfortable and can type easier. Overall, I like the product. What really drives me crazy is the software. It is stupid that I have to uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse. Moreover, why can't Microsoft simply has an universal software/driver and name it Microsoft Input. It is so annoying to have to install Keyboard and Mouse software even though this is called a keyboard set.

Comments about Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000:

I like the fact that the info is on the keys.. However for some of us not so bright oldsters..a booklet telling us what they are for..would be good.

I love the ergonomic shape..and hand rest on the edge.

A light indicating that it is on would help also.

The mouse is a bit too big for comfort, for the arthric hand.... I am sure it is great for men.

I like it a lot.
