Give yourself room to move; wireless mouse and keyboard products let you work without worrying about tangled wires. The Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 features 2.4 GHz Bluetooth connectivity with First Connect technology that makes it easy to connect wirelessly right out of the box. The desktop set includes a rechargeable mouse and keyboard with battery status indicators that flash when batteries need recharging.

Mouse Features
The mouse's 4-way scrolling feature takes advantage of Microsoft's Tilt Wheel technology, letting you scroll four ways for greater efficiency and comfort. Meanwhile, the Instant Viewer function allows you to click the scroll wheel button to instantly display your open windows. Then you just point and click to select the window you want. Another feature, the Magnifier, lets you point and click to enlarge and edit details on your screen.

Keyboard Features
The keyboard features an ultra-thin, ergonomist-approved "Comfort Curve" design that allows you to place your hands naturally and work comfortably using the distinctive quiet touch keys. This sleek design also reduces clutter on your desk, fits on your lap and complements your flat screen monitor. Meanwhile, an integrated navigation pad with cursor control makes it easy to command your PC from your lap or the comfort of your sofa.

Use the Media Center Start Button to gain one touch access to Windows Media Center, or press the Windows Start Button to launch your Start menu and search your PC or the Web if you have Windows Vista installed. The Windows Live Call Button accesses your Windows Live Messenger buddy list, while the Windows Gadgets Button gives you one-touch access to gadgets such as weather information, news updates, traffic maps and slide shows of online photo albums. Plus, when you're playing music or videos media controls on the keyboard allow you to easily navigate to your next or previous track. Or use the media controls to play, pause and control volume. Lastly, the "My Favorites" hot key makes it easy to access the folders, files, and Web pages you use most.

Great keyboard, comfortable - loved the little mousepad. Was great for browsing from the couch, and integrated well with Media Center. The mouse is also comfortable, stylish, with a side buttons for added functions.

Too bad all the touch-sensitive keys on the keyboard (look closely, this includes all function keys, home, end, the mouse pad, etc etc) stopped working. This rendered the entire keyboard unusable.

I still use the mouse, and would have given this item 5 stars if the keyboard still worked as it initially did.

I bought this product to replace an existing non-Bluetooth wireless keyboard/mouse set, as well as an existing Bluetooth PC receiver I used with a couple of audio headsets.

Long story short, the Microsoft receiver either wouldn't pair to my existing Bluetooth devices, or it would pair and they still didn't work. To make matters worse, documentation is sparse and online support info is virtually non-existent (I ran into lots of instances of the exact same problem, but no solutions.)

Finally, I tried getting support via e-mail from Microsoft, but they were clueless and all but admitted that they couldn't guarantee their receiver would work with anything but their keyboard and mouse. After two weeks of trying to fix things, I decided to return the product while I still could.

Save yourself time and trouble and steer clear of the Microsoft Entertainment Desktop 7000.

I've been using the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 for a month now, and I have to say it works very well. I haven't noticed the slightest reception problem, bluetooth works great. Setup was very easy.

Being able to look for a movie or a TV shown to watch online, from the comfort of my bed is just great. The desktop software also has some nice features, like a magnifier for small text or when you are away from your screen. The play/pause fast forward and rewind buttons work with iTunes (great). No numeric pad, but this keyboard is not for working on Excel. No lit keys, but if you are typewriter trained, you don't need it.

The mouse works great. The laser tracking lets you use it on top of almost anything. It has two additional buttons which are programmable, and the scroll wheel, also lets you scroll sideways.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

Look at the keyboard layout very carefully before buying this keyboard. It is bluetooth and perhaps meant only for applications like media center PCs hooked up to your TV with the keyboard on your coffee table. For that sort of application it is probably pretty good with bluetooth and a built-in mouse, and the smaller size.

However, if you're just using this with a desktop PC, you should go with something else. The layout is just too unusual, especially the keys that aren't even keys anymore but touch sensitive creases above the real keyboard. If you are used to your calculator or lock screen keys, they're not here. The function keys are not here. Too bad, seems like this is the only bluetooth keyboard available from Microsoft now.

Using this with Vista I had the apparently common problems that M/S has with their mice under Vista, i.e. the scroll wheel doesn't work with various applications like iTunes. Even after installing the latest drivers etc. I have since switched to a Logitech Wave combo and the mouse wheel on that works fine in all the places where the Microsoft Mouse doesn't, so I don't know what Microsoft' excuse is. I contacted Microsoft support and got no useful support--uninstall, reinstall the latest drivers etc which I'd already done.

Also note how expensive this keyboard is. You're not going to be happy if you buy this and it doesn't work for you.

I love this product. It give me an extended range that I need. The design is nice and both item work well. I am use to having the number key on the side, if this feature can be added, it would get 5 stars.
