Advantages: Long range, easy to use, comfortable

Disadvantages: Hard to install

This wireless keyboard and mouse from Microsoft makes working and gaming at your computer so much easier.

It is ok to install, but I had a few problems that I was able to solve myself. Once it is installed both the keyboard and mouse have a long range away from the transmitter that you connect to USB.

However, quite a bit you will get some annoying messages and pop-ups saying that the signal is low or battery is low, sometimes these warnings aren't true.

If you ever loose signal or something happens, it is easy to re sync just by pressing two buttons.

The set is not very expensive so in my opinion it is very good value for money. It also comes with some software that you need to install. It can be difficult to get installed, but it doesn't use much computer resources so will not slow down your PC.

Summary: Worth the money, but only if you do a lot of computing.
