    A tip from past experience from buying from Radio Shack ship-to-store, go to the Shack site and check to see if they already have it in stock at the store first. If they do, you will get it faster for the same price. Practices may differ, but the last time I tried ship-to-store I paid online, then had to wait a week until it showed up from corporate. They didn't pull from store stock to fill my order that day, and couldn't/wouldn't when I asked. PITA.

    The keyboard is very lightweight and thin. That can be a good thing if you are worried about it fitting into a small place. But it does feel frail. I would've expected the mouse to have better battery life. I have an older Logitech mouse that has a 2 year battery life. 5 months is kinda weak.

    ^ Depends on your use, if you want high precision, high sampling rate, on "most" surfaces, you're going to have to use a laser mouse that has a shorter battery life.

    I have one of Logitech's "invisible light" opticals that gets a year or more out of the batteries. It's the worst performing mouse I've ever bought from them since they stopped putting balls in them. You have to continuously move the thing around or else it goes into micro-sleep mode to save battery life which causes constant milliseconds of lag. I'd rather just swap in a recharged Eneloop NiMH or two every few months.

    It won't matter for some uses or people who use their mouse slower but for other people...
