Microsoft Bluetooth Desktop Keyboard & Mouse Combo (QHG-00001) - Black - English

I'm really confused by all the positive reviews for this keyboard & mouse. Maybe I just got a bad box, but I tried them for a week and they were by far the worst keyboard and mouse I'd ever used. They both seemed to have really significant noticeable lag, especially when you first started using them after not for a few minutes where you'd have a 2-3 second delay before they would catch up to what you're doing. I tried configuring my Bluetooth to make sure it wasn't automatically going to sleep, but that didn't seem to help. In the end, they were so infuriating to use that I had to excuse myself from work to return them and get a replacement.

If you are a professional, software developer or someone who uses the keyboard for several hours then stay away from this! Keys are tightly crammed. How many times I pressed the non-sensical new "lock" key instead of "Backspace" and the whole computer locked up (including any virtual machines running inside). Or, pressed Ctrl instead of left arrow and wondered why my cursor is not moving. There is also a random lag where sometimes it loses the first letter you typed. For example, "this" was typed as "his". Bluetooth setup was easy and battery seems to hold up ok for over 30 day use.

Works well but several things make this look and feel cheap. First the mouse - no ergonomical shape at all, feel like a poor attempt to cut costs. The keyboard has no shape to the keys making your fingers slide off and having to look at where your fingers are working verses other Microsoft key boards where the keys are slightly "dished" and the F & J keys would benefit with a sensory piece helping you to position your fingers better on the home keys. Bluetooth worked well, no issues but will likely return.

This keyboard has the quiet typing that I'm looking for with nice action on the keys, however, it doesn't have any feet in the back. It lays flat so I have to prop it up on something to make it comfortable to use. Also, when it hasn't been used in a while, it doesn't wake up until it has missed the first key I type most of the time. Really annoying! The mouse works well but its shape feels like a cheap. I had expected better performance from an official Microsoft product. I'm thinking about returning it.

The keyboard and mouse were needed since the previous one no longer worked. The keyboard is comfortable; the keys have a good feel. It is a bit different. When I put the computer to sleep, it goes black. I quick touch on the power button wakes it up. I had a problem with the top row of keys until I realizes that I needed to hold down the Fn key at the same time. It works well, once you know what to do. This product is Bluetooth enabled so it does not take up a USB port on the computer.
