Best wireless compact keyboard budget money can buy!
(5 out of 5) by MikeyP94@hotmail.co.uk on Jul 13, 2008 (Birmingham, UK)Hello. This is one of the best desktop wireless sets I have ever had. It really is great.
Firstly, the keyboard.
The keys are responsive, and are standard size, but not cramped. It is only 16" wide (40.5 cm). Which is about the same size as a 17" laptop. Also included is the laptop style arrow keys. Which is really great.
Secondly, the mouse.
Really is wireless, very responsive with the hand movements and the mouse buttons is well made and really responsive.
thirdly, the USB dongle.
About the same size as a USB memory stick, which is really well madeand blends in, it is only small! (This is actually smaller then my USB memoory stick.)
I love this product. Keep it up Labtec!!!
Highly Reccommended.

Disappointing range (approx 1 meter)
(1 out of 5) by K. Whyberd on Jul 30, 2008 (Sussex)The labtec media wireless desktop turned up quickly and in good condition, but I was very disappointed by the range over which they operate. (unfortunately the tech spec on Amazon didn't list the range).
It's fine if you want to keep your mouse and keyboard close to your computer (or less than a meter away) - but no good if you are wanting to operate over longer distances (unless you fancy trailing the reciever out onto a USB extention line - which kind of defeats the purpose)

Excellent keyboard.
(4 out of 5) by Mr. S. Iles on Feb 4, 2009 (UK)Works great and is really nice to type on. The mouse was a bit temperamental sometimes, but I moved the receiver closer and it has been fine since.
Good for the price!

Can't decide if this is useless or pointless
(1 out of 5) by WillS on Jan 2, 2009 (UK)The quality of the actual keyboard and mouse in this set is acceptable for the money and it was set up and ready to use easily but the fatal flaw is the range of the devices. They would only work reliably when within 3ft of the receiver and no response at all from about 4ft away. This is less than most cabled keyboards and mice so it's hard to see the point.
I brought this set for use with a Playstation 3 so it was particularly bad when used in this context; xbox 360, wii and media centre pc users need not apply also. If this will work for you on your desk you might as well buy a normal wired set, save on batteries and missed keypresses.

Watch Out
(1 out of 5) by ashkgbo on Sep 20, 2008 (U.K.)People Please Please do not buy this product. Iam sorry i wos persuaded by the price and the 2 good reviews for this product. Unfortunately these reviews were wrong. This product looks really nice, it feels sleek, and sits low on your table. However for all its asthetics qualitiys the lag time of both the keyboard and mouse is depressing. I am completly confused why labtec have created such a frustrating product. Although easy to setup the slow lag time makes it virtually impossible to type anything of any speed. Particularly annoying is when typing a password which you do reasonably quickly, the keyoard has a tendency to miss out letters.
Please do not buy this product it might be cheap but certainly not worth it.
