Bought this on line. I wouldn't have purchased if I could have tested first. Mouse is not responsive if dongle is placed on rear of my PC only about 2 feet away. Keyboard keys are nice and quiet, but the palm support is very slippery. Legs on keyboard don't have rubber when up, so keyboard slides. Mouse is a good size and works well if dongle is placed on front USB.

This is NOT a gaming combo. If you buy this for gaming, you need your head checked. Both the keyboard and mouse will never be responsive enough for your gaming needs.
I purchased this combo due to a favourable web review that said it was better value than competing products. It's slightly cheaper, but its value is questionable unless you like relabeled/mislabeled keys in the wrong places and a big clunky mouse that doesn't work correctly. The wheel either skips and does nothing or registers twice, making it impossible to scroll accurately. The function keys have all been relabeled for MS software, are too small and have been offset compared to standard keyboards which makes them difficult to find. Overall, this is an terrible product compared to the competition. There is much more usable stuff available for less money and much better stuff if you don't mind paying a premium for a really good keyboard and mouse.

An excellent set for a great price - lots of function buttons on the keyboard, excellent little buttons on either side of mouse to act as back/forward buttons in Firefox.
Got this combo in replacement of a Logitech S510, for the price this is a better bang for the buck. This combo is very conformable and very good performer. The battery lasts very long and the wireless range and signal is very reliable.
