Questions & Answers

Shopper : Is it compatible with Mac OSx?
David G : Is there any possible way that I get the keyboard only? I don't like the mouse.DONNA J : I don't know the answer to that. But I agree - I don't like the mouse either!CHARLES K : I didn't like the default settings on the mouse either. The new left side right side button location is such that if you moved your mouse you would forever unintentionally hit one with your finger. My solution.... go to the 'control panel' and select the mouse for settings. Click on the left side button drop down menu... select 'Disable'... then do the same thing for the right side... click apply. I hope this is a satisfactory solution for you as this keyboard and mouse is a wonderful performer with many options that you can control. Good luck. The connection improvements, compared to the older models, is a good improvement for sure. I highly recommend the upgrade.PETER O : No. This product comes as a set. I tried to replace just the lost usb device that allows the mouse and keyboard to communicate and Microsoft support said "no can do," so I had to buy a whole set and just scrap my old keyboard and mouse. I don't know if there is any reason you can't use your own (wired usb) mouse, but a wireless mouse will not be controlled by the usb device that comes with the set.ANDREW R : Unfortunately, we do not currently offer this model keyboard as a separate item.
Bernice R : I lopst my USB for this keyboard set up . Is there anything I can do other than throwing this away?GERALD W : I assume you lost your USB dongle. I have seen some on Ebay but they cost half the price of a new keyboard. You might want to contact Microsoft tech support for a less expensive suggestion if they have one. You can do a search on Ebay for Microsoft keyboard dongles. There a few for $25.. Good luck.JOHN U : Hi Bernice, I am not sure of your exact circumstances, but if you google "generic usb receivers" you may find one to fix your problem. OR... perhaps you can call directly to the Microsoft customer service people and plead for them to send you a replacement, you never know, maybe one without charge? :) JohnJANE L : They don’t sell them separately.ANDREW R : Unfortunately the wireless keyboard/mouse combo is sold paired with a matching receiver (USB dongle), the USB dongles are not available separately.

Comfortable combo from Microsoft

The new version is a little smaller than the original but just as comfortable. The new version also has padding for the wrist rest. Many programmable functions. Once you use this key board you will never go back to a traditional one. Try it .................... you'll love it!

Comfortable, simple and useful

I purchased the previous "comfort" model when in graduate school to ease my wrists while typing. I think this model is improved both in ease of touch, mouse accuracy and wireless connection. Very happy with it in editing in graphic programs as well. Once in a while the mouse will get "buggy" but am not sure if that is because of the computer or wireless connection. Overall am very happy with the devices.

Great pricing

Very easy and fast to set up. The ergo design is the best-no more neck and shoulder stiffness!!! Only a slight change in the design, but a huge difference. And no more wires all over the desk either!!! Better pricing than the 'big box' stores and mach speed shipping. I'm very pleased with everything about it.

Keyboard & Mouse Enhances Performance and Pleasure

I have been using computers since 1970. That means I have a lot of experience using different keyboards and mouse. I've had the programable keyboards and used them to the fullest to enhance my production. Let me say: THIS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE HAVE ALL THE PROGRAMMING BUILDT INTO IT. Two fingers on my left hand are partially paralyzed so there is no feeling in them. That makes it difficult to feel the keys and cause a lot of errors on a normal kekyboard. This particular keyboard has all but eliminated those problems for me. Because the keys are a little larger and layed out a little more dynamically for comfort, my accuracy is fabulous. If you have typos frequently, because of misplaced keystrokes, you must try this keyboard. In the past I would purchase programmable keyboards to speed up production. This one is already programmed to the hilt. One keystroke can perform many options that normally call for browsing and multiple strokes. If you take the time to learn what they do, you will never regret it. With one key, I can perform a spell check or another key will print screen. Another will take me to my home page on the internet. The list goes on and on. Try it. Now for the mouse. I have always complained and fought with the cords attached to the mouse and keyboard, no more. I do not care If I have to replace batteries, which held me back for a long time from trying it out. I was always pulling and shifting the cord so it would not hinder use of the mouse. Now I do not even think about it. It too is enhanced with extra features. I have learned to bump the side of the mouse to easilly go back a page. It is larger and has a nice fit. Also sensitivity has a maximum amount of programmable sensitivity and speed. I love it too. I must admit there are two issues I do not care for. To turn off the mouse, you must remove the USB chip and attach it to the bottom of the mouse. Otherwise it will drain your battery while not in use. The second is range. If I wanted a keyboard and mouse to use for wireless use on my television, this is not the right choice. It only works within 3 - 5 feet maximum from the USB chip. I do not know what more to say. Purchase of this simple, inexpensive keyboard and mouse has set me free. It has increased my comfort, speed and throughout production. I will never go back to using a mouse or keyboard with a cord. Now you can save yourself a lot of research and testing by getting this set. It has a satisfaction guarantee. David, the lazy and obsessed business man.

buyer beware

Guess I didn't read far enough through the fine print before purchasing. Wireless keyboard and mouse don't work w/ Windows XP. Also, no way to turn off without removing wireless unit from computer and inserting into base of mouse.. Basically had to rip through packaging to extract mouse and keyboard, so unable to return to HP. Anyone want to buy a never-used keyboard/mouse?

Great Product - problem using with HP laptops

Love the keyboard, is lightweight and had great features. Mouse is awesome! Works great on any surface I've tried so far. Beware however, there is a bug in the driver that overrides the volume slider bar that is on many HP laptops. Everytime you use the bar to adjust the volume, turn the wireless radio on or off or use the mute button an Excel spreadsheet will open ( if you have MS Office installed on the computer). I've had up to 12 Excel instances open from one use of the slider bar. So far no fix available. :( Had to return the item due to this issue. However was disappointed as I really liked the set.
