This set absolutely SUCKS. You'd be better off scratching the letters onto your screen with your fingernail than buying this set.

A friend of mine has this desktop and quite likes it. Newegg raters give it four stars and usually say they think it is great for the price. #1 just likes to spout BS?

Good price on nice hardware. #1 is clearly not at work, unless he works in a sewer.

This set works great. Not ideal for gaming since the mouse doesn't have extra buttons.

I agree with #1. I had this set before and the mouse/keyboard had to be within a foot or 2 of the receiver. Would no recommend.

The range on this is usually up to 10', only less if you have a lot of RF noise in the vicinity or the receiver is poorly located (near metal).

The keyboard keys are a bit rodeo cowboy, what were they thinking putting special function keys between the palm rest and the full sized keys?

Also the key travel is a bit short and mushy, but maybe you'll prefer that if you use a laptop more than a desktop.

IMO the mouse slopes downward too much in the front, better used when your mousing surface is lower than it'd typically be on a desk. You ought to try one at a B&M before settling on this shape.

Agree with #6 on the mushy key feel. Overall not bad though. I never use the "special" keys.

Not the greatest combo but it should work well for most of the people. I have no complain @ $25 price tag....
