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.

I liked this keyboard and I hated this keyboard but the bottom line was that the number key lock did not work correctly. It has a great feel and great media buttons. The mouse is also good but could use some more buttons.

I bought this keyboard and mouse combo for one reason - to sit back in a comfortable chair and operate a PC connected to my 42" LCD TV. For this purpose the system works brilliantly. It is light weight and much more responsive that the last bluetooth keyboard and mouse I purchased. The mouse is so responsive I can use it on the arm of my chair.
Stylistically, the keyboard is so low profile that it is barely visible when sitting on a flat surface.
However, this is NOT a production keyboard. Key travel is minimal, function and certain other keys are touch senstive and there is no numerical keypad. So don't expect to spend a lot of time typing

This purchase was for my parents' MediaCenter and my main two requirements were range: over ten feet; and easy enough to use for non-experts.

PROS:
-excellent range for the price (30+ feet)
-easy to set up and use, only the 'WIN' key is a bit confusing
-includes recharging cradle for mouse
-Completely compatible with Windows MediaCenter 2005

CONS:
-significant lag from first keypress or mouse movement after power-on or waking from sleep
-batteries seem to run down much faster if you don't use the switches to turn off the devices
-odd escape key and function keys

I saw this keyboard in the store and thought it was great. I really like the keypad and the keypresses. It also has all of the functionality that I need.

I can understand how some people are upset with the design of the F keys, but they wont ever affect me for my needs. I do have a problem with the mouse buttons though. It is hard for me to hit the extra buttons. I wish the thumb button was further forward. If there was two buttons on each side, that would be better than one on the left and one on the right (which are difficult to hit). I will rarely need to use these buttons so it isnt really an issue.

My problem is that the keyboard gets laggy at times. I have never ever had this problem in my last 15 years of computing. Sometimes it does not read some of my keypresses. Sometimes it I can press a letter and it will repeat that letter 10 times in a row. As great as the keyboard is, these problems are unacceptable. I also noticed that they mousepad on the keyboard is very delayed anddddddddddd innnnnnaccurateee at times. (I typed this review on the keyboard)

When the keyboard is having problems, I notice that the mouse is still working great. I don't understand why the mouse would be fine when the keyboard is laggy.

Edit: This set was specifically designed for HTPC users which the average distance is 10' away. I thought I would mention that I am using this product 10' away from the receiver. It is advertised to work up to 30' away. the closer you are to the receiver, the less problems there are.
