I bought the model “Chiclet-Black” to use with work when I’m on client sites. The primary reason for buying this one was that it wasn’t full size which meant that it would fit in my backpack / work bag, and the second requirement was that it has separate keys for Page Up/Down/Home/End without the need to press FN. I’ve been using the keyboard and mouse for a year now across two laptops and I’ve had no issues with it to date. The keys and mouse have a nice feel to them and both have been working superbly well all this time. I’d recommend this combination to anyone considering these for work or personal use.
A nice pink colour stylish keyboard and a good mouse which are wireless and surprisingly work from a single dongle at a price which is reasonable at a good quality. My only gripe is that you have to use 1xAA and 2xAAA batteries for powering them up and seeing that so many of devices are coming these days which could be charged using usb connections, it feels a bit archaic. Luckily I had a few rechargeable batteries available and both the keyboard and the mouse go on for a long time before the batteries run out so that’s great. Design-wise, keyboard looks good and compact, keys are round and do not make too much noise while still give a satisfying clicking feeling. Mouse is also not bad and is much better than some other similar priced mice that I used in the past.
I think if they make the next version of the keyboard and mice to enable usb charging and introduce Bluetooth functionality, it will be even better. Until then, this package is good to use for the price and quality and can keep going for a while. Highly recommended!
So, I’ve been using this as my work keyboard for a couple of weeks now. I have to say, my feelings about it are mostly positive.
It is nicely compact, so it doesn’t take up a lot of space on the desk. It also means when I have had to go into work, it fits nicely in my laptop bag.
Both the keyboard and mouse are very robust feeling, there is no key rattle and the mouse click is virtually silent. I find that pretty important when you use something for 8 hours a day, that it doesn’t feel flimsy and rattle to the point it gives you a headache. Down to personal choice, but I find the design quite pleasing to the eye, even if it is a little “Apple-like”.
My only issue is that occasionally it feels like it misses a beat, but I’m not sure if that’s the keyboard or my typing. Just get the odd button miss where I have to go back and correct. I did have some difficulty where the keys are slightly differently aligned to my old keyboard, but that is becoming less of an issue the more I use it. Sometimes annoying that the function keys aren’t set to use the F-functions as default, but there is a lock to keep it on them. Oh, didn’t come with batteries, but I had some lying around. Take that into consideration if you want to start using it the moment it turns up.
I like the fact the keyboard and mouse both work off the same USB dongle is good, especially with the amount of stuff I need to plug in to do my job these days.
All round, I’d recommend it. Worth getting over the initial differences and getting used to.
As a quick addendum. I ordered the pink one for my other half. She liked it, said the mouse fitted her hand well! That’s about as much as I got out of her for it!
For the money, a very nice wireless keyboard / mouse.
First impressions are good with a simply branded, basic box that does everything you want and nothing unnecessary. So much the better. Opening reveals the keyboard just under the outer lid. Slim, with metal-effect plastics, it’s surprisingly weighty for an item of this type -another positive in my book. The (almost) noiseless keys are neatly styled with rounded corners to match that of the keyboard, the printing on the keys themselves clear and cleanly executed. This is optimised for Windows based PCs rather than Macs, so if you require the latter, it may not be ideal, but otherwise is set up fine. The noiseless optical mouse and USB dongle are packed below the keyboard. All require batteries (not supplied), but after installation of those, setup is more or less instant, as you would hope.
In use it seems nicely-judged: the mouse is a mouse: quite, responsive and does all you need. The keyboard itself also works well -although relatively compact, it has a numeric keypad so will suit almost all requirements -I spend a lot of time using the numeric, so this is a great advantage to have over some compacts that omit it to save space. Overall -an impressive set for the money.
This keyboard and mouse combo come simply but effectively packaged – with minimal instructions (it’s a keyboard and mouse – not difficult) – though a useful piece of information is that you’ll need 1 X AA and 2 X AAA batteries (former for the mouse, latter for the keyboard).
The dongle is – as packaged – inside the battery compartment of the keyboard – and can be a little awkward to get out. However, presumably you will not be getting it out often so not a major problem. That said – if I was travelling – I’d probably put the dongle somewhere else to make life easier next time I needed it.
The mouse is actually really nice. It’s light and responsive – scroll wheel works nicely (a slight inaudible click when rotating). It has a power on/off on the underside (which I initially missed).
The keyboard is compact – which, being a clumsy stabber of a typist – I can find irritating at times. Smaller backspace key (a particular favorite of mine) and compromised up/down/left/right arrow keys. However with care it is all perfectly usable – and it all keeps things compact. The keyboard has a plethora of additional functions (media as well as some dedicated cut/paste/copy etc. keys). Stupidly I can’t find Print Screen (but it’s not something I use much and there are other ways…)
In terms of typing – the keyboard is nice and quiet in use. Keys are pleasant to use – small amount of travel – but sufficient in terms of feedback/touch.
All in all this is a good combination keyboard/mouse when space is important – and, often as important, a quieter workspace is needed.
A very nice Combination of Wireless Keybord & matching Mouse. – I bought this Product as I have a problem with the Touch pad on my Laptop, and it’s Far easier for Scrolling down pages. – The Sleep function on both is usefull for saving Battery Life,- but I wish it didn’t go to sleep “Quite so quickly !- The other thing I am having issues with is the Keybord as I find it’s a little “Too Sensitive” – and I find I keep having to deleat indivdual “Multiple letters” when I have not been quick enough, to move to a different letter – Tho perhaps thats Just ME !
Now for that backslash issue. There is no dedicated “” key on this keyboard! That is just madness, I cannot understand why the manufacturer has not catered for this vital key that may people use regularly (ask a developer or programmer for example), they have not even place the symbol anywhere on the keyboard where you be be able to type with with a combination key! Usually on KY keyboards it’s next to the “Z” key. Now, if you have discovered this and need the “” key then you can get in at least 2 ways (the point is that is not readily available or convenient):
1) Press [Alt Gr] + [#]
2 Press [Alt] + type [92]
If you are fine with the above then I would recommend this keyboard/mouse for this price range.
Thanks
It needs three AA batteries to get going, (Not supplied) One in mouse, two in keyboard. If keyboard doesn’t work immediately, remember that it does have an on/off switch underneath, as does the mouse. The usb dongle is in the mouse battery compartment. Just plugs into a usb port. Just one needed, both items use the same dongle.
The keyboard is quite heavy and feels like good quality. Very easy to set up, just plug and play, even on an old imac. Everything about it is excellent so far. Keyboard has little non slip feet so it does not slide about when you a typing. Mouse moves easily on a hard surface even without a mouse mat. I am glad I bought this, I think it is a really good piece of kit for the price.
