4.0 out of 5 stars Simple Design - Works Great, June 3, 2009

This review is from: Buslink RF-6572A I-ROCKS RF 2.4GHz Wireless Keyboard with 5 Button Optical Mouse (Black) (Personal Computers)

I chose this wireless keyboard & mouse combination based almost entirely on it's design. It's quite simple and maybe even elegant.

If you're anything like me, you're looking for a simple wireless keyboard that doesn't have 34 extra buttons (that you'll never use) across the top and down both sides of the keyboard. This was crucial for me. I wanted a simple keyboard that I could grab from either side or the top and not worry about inadvertently hitting a button that would suspend my computer, start Media Player or any of the 34 other functions that many keyboard buttons provide.

So the design met my needs, for the most part.

The installation was absolutely painless! I was surprised when I saw that there was no installation CD in the box. At first I thought it was missing, but then I read the instructions and couldn't believe how easy the installation was:

1.) Insert the batteries.
2.) Slide the ON/OFF switch on the mouse to ON.
3.) Plug the USB dongle in.

That's it! No software. No drivers.

The keyboard is surprisingly heavy, but this may not be a bad thing. In a world where most things are made of cheap, flimsy plastic; this keyboard feels surprisingly well made and solid.

The keys are similar, but not exactly like a laptop. The keys are shallower than a standard keyboard, but not quite as shallow as a laptop keyboard. Unlike a laptop keyboard where there is no feedback when you press the keys, this wireless keyboard actually has a slight "click" when the keys are pressed.

There are two aspects of this combo that I'm not very happy with. The backspace key is the size of a standard key. As you know a normal backspace key on a standard keyboard is twice the size of a normal key. I hope I can get used to it and train my pinky to find the small backspace key accurately without looking.

The mouse is not exactly perfect. It's not a bad mouse, the design is quite nice and it's well made too. There are two "thumb" buttons on the side of the mouse that functions as back and forward buttons while browsing web pages. Since there is no software for this combo, I don't believe the button's functions can be changed or disabled. I don't intend to use them and they don't get in the way. The problem with this mouse is that it is a little bit too small length-wise. The width and height are comfortable, but my palm does not rest comfortably on the mouse. Perhaps I have larger hands and just favor a larger mouse.

I'm using this combo on my media center PC in my main TV viewing room. I sit approximately 8' away from my PC and I'm not having any range issues. I haven't noticed any lag or delays while typing. I played World of Warcraft with it for a couple of hours and had no problems.

If the backspace key and the mouse were a little larger, I could have easily given this 5 stars. Considering the price, you just can't go wrong with this.

Thanks for reading my review. I hope I was able to help with your purchase decision.

The connection has good range. I place my htpc behind the tv and cabinet and some boxes. I always get good connection.
