I tried the ergonomic version and found it clumsy and uncomfortable. This one is straight forward and easy to use. It has a lot of useful one touch buttons such as zoom, print etc and I liked where they were all located on the keyboard. The mouse design is comfortable and has a back-button which makes it very handy.

I have this keyboard and it's driving me crazy. It does everything it's supposed to do, and a bunch of things I don't care about which is nice I guess. But it has one flaw that's a deal-breaker: there's no caps lock light on the keyboard itself. If you are in caps lock, there's a small notice that pops up on your desktop ... sometimes. Sometimes it's there but buried by open windows. And sometimes it just isn't there. If I had a dollar for every time I had to go back and re-type due to being in caps lock by mistake, I could have paid for this keyboard several times already.
Overall - it's a fine keyboard to type on, seems fairly sturdy, nice-enough looking ... and you couldn't pay me to have another one just like it. This one's going to the local charity outlet tomorrow and I'm buying a plain vanilla keyboard instead.

        Price was very attractive but obviously for a reason. I need a very basic keyboard and mouse. This one works great but the absence of indicator lights for the Caps Lock and Num Lock are a big nuisance.

            Comments about Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000:

            It's quite difficult—and potentially misleading—to attempt to review two significant components when the survey treats it all as a single product. The fact is that the keyboard has a number of feartures that would be better appreciated by a gamer or most home-based users, but is, nonetheless, a very responsive keyboard with good feedback. I'm not a touch typist, and have no use for the multi-dimensional keybards that seem to be popular.

            The mouse that comes as a part of this combo is a very poor mouse, with a very uncomfortable grip, but (worse) a requirement for a very heavy hand in order to press the typical right and left mouse buttons. Rather that risk carpal-tunnel syndrome from having to press so hard on the buttons, I have dumped that mouse and gone back to the Logitech M705 mouse (another component in a two-part package. In 11 months, the keyboard in that package had started failing to recognize key-presses, with some keys failing to restore after being pressed. I felt it just wasn't ready for the rigors of book writing).

                Computer/Operating System Requires a PC that meets the requirements for and has installed one of these operating systems: Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, not compatible with 64-bit.

              • A:

                The information reads:

                Computer/Operating System

                Requires a PC that meets the requirements for and has installed one of these operating systems: Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP (excluding 64-bit).

                I would take that to mean that Windows XP excludes 64 bit. Otherwise, it would not be in parenthesis next to Windows XP only.

                Hope this helps.
