Amazon.com Product Description
Add wireless freedom, stylish looks, and one-touch features to your desktop with the Wireless Optical Desktop Pro keyboard and mouse combination. This desktop package features customizable keys, optical mouse technology, and a comfortable, ergonomic design. The Wireless MultiMedia keyboard's split, gently sloped shape encourages a natural hand, wrist, and forearm position for maximum comfort. Also, your digital media activities are within easy reach--start, play, and navigate music and video clips with the touch of a button. Customizable hot keys let you quickly start Messenger, Mail, Internet, and Calculator programs. And get one-touch access to files stored in the My Documents, My Pictures, and My Music folders in Windows. Perform common tasks right from your keyboard--press a button to open, close, and save documents, send and forward e-mails, put the computer to sleep, log off, and more. Press the F LOCK key to toggle between standard and enhanced function key commands.
The mouse's wider, clear scroll wheel allows you to comfortably move through documents and Web pages quickly without clicking the scroll bar. Accelerated scrolling reacts to how quickly you roll the wheel, saving you time and effort. And the optical sensor replaces your mouse ball, for accuracy and precision--no mouse pad needed. It's ambidextrous, too--whether you control it with your right or left hand, the wireless optical mouse is shaped for comfort.
Both the keyboard and mouse work within six feet of the included receiver, even if your computer is out of sight. The pair comes with a three-year warranty.

Keep on typin'!.......2007-12-26
Batteries last longer than the claim of 6 months, so I can keep typing without gettin' tangled up in mouse/keyboard wires! Ergonomic set-up is definitely a plus...no carpal tunnel for me!
I LIKE MY WIRELESS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE COMBO.......2007-12-18
I took the keyboard out of the box and went right to work. I'd used wireless pointers before, but not keyboards. It got my laptop off my lap, and worked from across the room with my son's desktop. I recommended them to co-workers, and some bought their own. The mouse is a little big to call "portable", but I still take it around the house.Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro
Nice design, no range.......2007-12-08
Ive gone through three of these. The first one I had (prolly a first generation) was great. It had a decent, but not outstanding range, and I do like the design. When it died I got a second that was faulty. The keys would only register if you placed the receiver an inch from the keyboard. The third wasn't much better. It barely registered the signal when the receiver and the keyboard were in very close proximity and would still miss keys. I went ahead and got a Logitech wireless split keyboard and like it much better. It has a nice solid feel to it, and will consistently register keystrokes from over 3-4 feet away, something none of my MS keyboard would have ever done.
Id give it more stars for the design, but a well designed wireless keyboard with no range is kinda like a beautifully designed car with no engine. They're nice to look at, but cant perform their primary purpose.
Awesome.......2007-11-02
It came just in time, before I could crash my computer. I love the wireless keyboard and mouse. Brand new
Nice fix for too many wires, plus good product design.......2007-10-31
The MS Wireless Optical Desktop Pro helped solve a wire clutter problem, hooking up a keyboard and mouse to my laptop. My wife and I like the ergonomic split keyboard. It's very smooth and quiet in operation. What is really nice is the mouse. It has great features (a magnification button on the side, which is very nice for websites with small print). Plus, the scroll wheel can move from side to side, so you can scroll horizontally as well as the standard vertical scroll (no more going to the bottom of the screen to grab the little box and drag it left or right). Finally, clicking the scroll wheel (pressing down) will give you mini-windows of all open applications, which you can then click on. It's an improved version of the old ALT-TAB combination keyboard command. The mouse has a very smooth scrolling action, very precise feel to it. All in all, a very nice product that also claims improved battery life.

My favorite wireless keyboard and mouse.......2007-09-12
I've been using Microsoft's ergonomic keyboards for at least a decade now. After getting used to the layout of the keys, I can't imagine using a regular keyboard again. The amount of strain that's reduced from my wrists and fingers is immeasurable.
I decided to upgrade to a wireless keyboard and mouse, which seems to be the thing to do these days. I couldn't be happier.
On the top row above the function keys are buttons for:
- My Documents
- My Pictures
- My Music
- Mail
- Media (for me, it opens iTunes, and did so without me having to do anything)
- Web/Home
- Messenger (MSM)
Also above the Function Keys, directly in the middle, are buttons to control sound or visual media. There's a:
- Mute button
- Pause/Play
- Stop
- Increase volume
- Decrease volume
- Skip forward
- Skip backward
Above the Numeric keypad are buttons for:
- Calculator
- Log Off
- Sleep
The function keys themselves have their numeric designator on the front side of the key, and has the actual function of the key on top (like the letter "I" is on "top" of the key for that letter). In order, they are:
- Help
- Undo
- Redo
- New
- Open
- Close
- Reply
- Forward
- Send
- Spell
- Save
- Print
There's also a key for "F Lock".
One major difference between this wireless keyboard and other "wired" keyboards is that there are no indicator lights for Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock. Instead, when you press one of those keys, a visual appears in the lower right hand corner of the screen that tells you if that particular function is off or on. The volume works the same way. A visual bar appear on the lower right hand corner of the screen that goes up and down (left and right, really) depending on your adjustments.
The mouse has some great features too. There are two buttons on the left side of the mouse. Clicking the top button (Microsoft calls it the "small button") magnifies a portion of the screen. I use it if I have a lot to read (say, a long encyclopedia article). I lean back comfortably in my chair, click the button, and have no trouble seeing. Because the mouse is wireless, I can bring it back with me and control the movement on a mousepad on my lap. However, if this function seems worthless to you, the software that accompanies the keyboard and mouse can set that button to do a couple of dozen other tasks. The lower button (or the "large button") takes you "back" if you're on the web. That, too, can be customized to do any number of things. In fact - not only can you change default settings for these extra buttons, you can also change default settings for the left and right click buttons, and choose what happens when you press on the wheel button.
The keyboard itself can also have default settings changed.
This is a terrific keyboard and mouse. One thing that will look a bit strange coming out of the box is that while all the keys (not function keys and those above them, but letter keys, number keys, Tab, etc.) are black, they're also clear. It gives the impression of the keyboard being shiny. I'd rather it not look that way, but that's the one default setting you can't change.

Customer Reviews:
Great product for the price!.......2007-01-04
We have been using this keyboard around the office for over a year. The company has over 100 programmers, so the keyboards are used continually at least 8 hours every day sometimes more than. No failures! The only problem that we've found is that as we've grown and hired more people, we can no longer use wireless devices in the new cubicles that are so close together. We've had to go back to wired devices due to proximity. But this is great product. Especially for the price!
