Overall, though, I'm happy with this purchase but the mouse is very touchy. Just holding it or resting one finger on the mouse wheel causes the screen to scroll up and down.

The keyboard also takes some getting used to. The keys aren't spaced EXACTLY the same way as the keyboard it replaced, so I'm constantly hitting the wrong key.

I must not have noticed that it's called a COMPACT keyboard, which is probably the reason for my problems. The overall size of the keyboard is the same as my old keyboard that it replaced, but the keys are just not spaced the same way. It's way too easy to make mistakes - especially with the numerical keypad, the arrow keys, and the Insert, Delete, and other keys in that group.

I'm hoping this problem will improve with time, as I use it more, but my keyboard at work has the same key spacing as my old keyboard - so adjusting to using this new wireless Microsoft keyboard may take a REALLY long time.

It's good for the reason we got it, though - the letters on the keys are very visible.

It's a good keyboard, I just didn't realize how small the "escape" key was before I purchased it (I don't have big fingers either). I also find it difficult to reach when typing. I have to stop and actually look for it to hit it. Also, when you have "caps lock" on there is no indicator light (same with "num lock").
