Nice board. I like the colors and the style and how the buttons push down.

I am returning this item for several reasons. We bought this keyboard so we could touch one button and have our my documents appear. We could never get this function to work. When we called the support phone number provided with the device, the person who assisted us could not solve the problem and told us they would call back. They never called back. So not only did the device not do what we wanted, we also received very very poor customer service.

I have been using the Kensington wireless desktop keyboard and mouse for at least two years. The keyboard is comfortable and has a nice response, and the mouse, when it’s working, tracks well. I rarely have problems with the keyboard, but the mouse is a pain in the neck. With about 15 hours of computer use a week, I need to change the batteries in the mouse about every 9 to 12 weeks. The mouse does not work with rechargeable batteries. What is most frustrating is that whenever I change the batteries, I cannot get the mouse to activate. The lights will glow and flash, and I’ll follow every troubleshooting step, but the cursor remains motionless. Then one day it’ll start working again. I find it necessary to have a back up mouse handy.

Hey I just bought this keyboard and mouse combo. The box, CD and manual says Windows 98 and later. It installed OK, and it went to the web to get the latest version of the software/drivers. Upon restart however nothing worked from the Kensington keyboard or mouse or the inbuilt keyboard and trackpad on my laptop – alarm bells ringing at this point.
Nothing when I hooked up my trusty old USB keyboard and mouse despite several hard-restarts.
No response on Kensington’s tech support “Please call back etc etc”
Their website makes no mention of this item/combo – so I couldn’t even download a separate installer for it.
I had to F8 & boot up from a previous restore point.
As a result it gets no votes – wouldn’t work! Vista users you have been warned. I have used tons of legacy gear through my work which only comes or has available Win98 drivers and they have all worked thus far – this wireless desktop being the exception.

The fancy keys and wireless capability were nice for a while; I’ve had it for about a year.
Once the newness of the new toy wore off, I discovered that the mouse eats batteries fast.
It died today of consumption.
The mouse has really been a pain in the neck the whole year and it’s rather large.
The keyboard is still working and the keys are quiet; however, it’s just too big and it tells me literally once a day that the batteries in it are low though it’s a good bit easier on them than the mouse. Some driver issue with Mac OS X but it doesn’t bother the way it works.
So, after a year, it wasn’t really enough bang for the buck overall.
A 3 for the keyboard, it’s okay but big and huge with the attached wrist rest which has to be there to make it comfortable to type on.
Without it, the keyboard is too tall to be so flat.
A 1 for the mouse; a battery eating pain that was a constant problem.
So a not so great 2 over all.
