If you are a Gamer, look elsewhere.......2007-12-31
I enjoy gaming. I have my computer hooked up to my 62" TV. I bought this combo so I could game in comfort. I am located about 5 feet from the BT receiver. The keyboard loses connection about every 3rd time and takes at least 3 seconds sometimes more to come out of sleep mode (which it goes into very quickly). You'd think with such a fast sleep mode setting it wouldn't suck batteries so bad. I have to replace the batteries every 3-4 days in both the keyboard and mouse. The mouse lags which makes it about impossible to play anything timed or MMO style. It works moderately well for just everyday stuff like checking email and surfing the web (if you can get past the poor battery life and disconnects). Hopefully someday a company will step up and make a combo that really works.
Works Very Well.......2007-11-28
Excellent product. Great battery life. Excellent range. Set up under Microsoft Vista was a breeze.
Tip #1: Discard the enclosed CDs and download the latest versions of IntelliType and IntelliPoint from Microsoft.
Tip #2: Rechargeable batteries work best in medium to high drain constant use items (they lose their charge over time even when not used). This is a low drain periodic use item, so you're better off with regular batteries.
Most comfortable keyboard.......2007-09-22
I bought this keyboard and mouse 2 years ago. It was love at first sight. The most comfortable keyboard I have ever worked on.

Go with a wireless Keyboard and Mouse from Logitech Instead.......2007-09-07
I have a fetish for Wireless Keyboards and Mice. I buy a new one every 3-4 months as new versions are released in the hopes of finding a better solution. I have never found the perfect combination.
Before purchasing this setup, I was using a Microsoft Keyboard with a Logitech MX1000 laser mouse. I loved the combo but the mouse stopped functioning.
I purchased this setup about 2 months ago. This is the second time I have owned the Microsoft Bluetooth setup. The first one was about 2 years ago and was the standard unit. Decided to go with the elite in the hope that the flaws in the original were resolved. I am sad to say they are not.
Let's start with the good.
1. The unit has great range for short term use. I can use it 10-12 feet away from the desk.
2. Nice large keyboard. The keyboard is definitely the positive with this kit. Great tactile feel to the keys.
Now to the bad.
1. Even though you can take the unit a long way from the receiver, it seems to mysteriously lose contact with the computer on a random basis. The problem has lessened by moving the receiver to the USB ports on my monitor but it still happens on occassion. 90% of the time, it is the keyboard but it can happen with the mouse too. Major pain.
2. Terrible delay on the keyboard when it has gone into standby...it can take 2 seconds for the keyboard to wake up. Annoying and no other keyboard I have used does this...including Microsoft's own non-bluetooth variety.
3. The mouse wheel stops functioning for no reason. Removing the mouse and reconnecting it or rebooting the machine fixes it.
4. If you need to remove and reconnect the mouse for the above reason, you must attach a mouse because the bluetooth discovery utility will not let you use the Tab key to select the mouse in the list of discovered devices. Simply bad UI.
The technology used in this package is just out of date. Microsoft needs to update it. The Logitech setups run rings around this as far as features go. They also have more reliable connectivity, less lag and a better price.
If you must have Bluetooth (not sure why you do), this is your best option. Otherwise, pick one of any of the competing Logitech devices and you will be happier.
Keyboard eats batteries.......2007-09-06
I put lithium batteries in both the mouse and keyboard when I got them back in March 2007. I have replaced the keyboard batteries 3 times, and 0 times for the mouse!!!
Keyboard also loses connection sometimes when I'm using it. I would expect this to be a bit more consistent. My wireless keyboard from Kensington for my other PC has none of these issues.

Works great in the right place.......2005-09-07
I bought two of these units for use in conference rooms with projectors where distance from the computer is an issue. These operate, reliably, well in excess of 30 feet. The keyboard is too bulky, in my opinion, for normal use at a typical desk. The mouse works great anywhere, though. I would give it 5 stars except for the fact that after a couple of weeks the keyboard quit working and I had to re-install the keyboard software. I deducted 1 star for annoying me. I am using these with a Dell desktop compter and the USB external reciever. The side to side scrolling ability of the mouse wheel is great; you don't have to search for the, sometimes tiny, scroll button on the screen.
