Advantages: Good touch and response, excellent range

Disadvantages: Problems with simultaneous key presses. Battery destroyer

I'm actually only reviewing the keyboard here having done the mouse seperately. At first I was impressed with teh keyboard and enjoyed it's wireless capabilities. Using it on the sofa was a dream and everything was well. Then for certain applications (and games) I realised this keyboard had some issues when sending multiple keypresses at once. At first I thought it was maybe a battery or IR reception problem but alas I was wrong. Suffice to say that I now have reverted back to my wired keyboard as this problem annoyed me so. Another problem I found was the battery life. this machine chewed through AA's like they were going out of fashion. Eventually I purchased 8 rechargeables and constantly had 4 ready to replace the current ones. You can imagine how annoying this was when they failed and you were in the middle of something. Overall I would say that this keyboard has it's place and if you want something to control a media type PC it is probably excellent, however it wasn't for me.

Summary: Good if you want a glorified remote control, not suitable for heavy use
