Amazon Basics Full-Sized Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo

If people are having connectivity issues, please just read the instructions.

The mouse is approximately 20% smaller than a standard-sized mouse, and even though I have large hands, it still fit quite comfortably in my palm.

The keyboard is a quiet keyboard, meaning that the keys make considerably less noise than your basic, standard keyboards (think of each key press as a muffled thud, as opposed to a mechanical click/tap). I type at approximately 80 words per minute, meaning that I hit a LOT of keys when working, and subsequently generate a lot of noise (something that I am always conscious of). However, with this keyboard, I personally have noticed the reduction in the amount of noise that I produce when typing.

Both of these devices run off of batteries (included) and each sports an on/off switch, which is a nice touch. The packaging claims that they keyboard can last up to 2 years off of two AAA batteries and that the mouse can last up to 1 year off of a single AA battery and I suspect that this is based on the assumption that users will switch the devices off when they aren’t using them.

The single dual USB connector (tiny, approximately one inch at its longest point) almost instantly connects both the keyboard and mouse to your machine, with no installation required, meaning that they are ready to use pretty much immediately. This type of USB connector is often colloquially referred to as a “plug-and-forget” connector, as one can indeed plug it in to their machine and then forget that it ever exists. Even though I work from a desktop PC, this is especially useful for laptop users as it doesn’t add any extra bulk or protruding parts when you link it to your machine.

Great value set with both devices included. Highly recommend.
