I bounced around Amazon trying to find a keyboard and mouse for my 3 and 4 year old daughters, and am really glad that I chose the Chester Creek product.

Fit, finish and quality seem good and the bright colors make the kids happy. It's also nice to know that when they're looking for a letter I can tell them what color letter to look at. Size is excellent and both kids have no problem using the mouse. The only bad is that they now want their own computer!

Definitey something that I would recommend and I'm really happy with the seller, too, who shipped the same day my order was received.

We bought this for my 4-year-old daughter. She has been using it for about 9 months and it is still like it came out of the box. My wife and I like how the keys are color coded and the mouse is the right size for a childs hand (but still easy enough for an adult to use).

Great fun and colorful product but the size of the keys could have been made to better suit children's little fingers.

My daughter loves her "special" keyboard. She took right to it. We like that the keys are color-coded according to type of letter, ie. vowels are red, consonants are green, numbers are purple, etc. That fit nicely into her kindergarten curriculum. The mouse is nice and little so it fits her hand well. She can be a little rough with her things, but this keyboard/mouse has held up well.

I am a Licenced day-care provider. I ordered this product to use in home along with learning programs for the children I care for daily. These children range in age from 15 months to 10 years of age.
The older children have reveled in self confidence at the ability to be able to easily find and use things on there own, such as the number pad, the vowels, and the punctuation keys. The younger children are learning quite well and love how colorful this keyboard is. Another positive thing about this set is the mouse. It is very easy to use, and made for the child's hand size. The movements of the mouse made by the child flow smoothly with that of the mouse shown on screen. There is no wheel in the mouse, only the left and right clicker, keeping things simple for the child.
I can't say enough about how excited I was to receive and use this product. Thank you chester creek!

This keyboard and mouse are perfect for my 4 year old. The size of the mouse is just right for a child's hand. I searched for a keyboard that had a number pad and this was one of only two. The use of color to differentiate the functions is very helpful.

This set looked like it would be kind of fun because of the primary colors.

"Product Description
The FunKeyBoard & FunMouse Bundle's Color Coded Keyboard features color-coded consonants, vowels, numbers and punctuation marks to help children learn their character sets. The FunKeyBoard & FunMouse Bundle also includes the tiny optical FunMouse, which is sized just right for a child's small hands."

While the educational aspect slight, it is interesting, and a fine idea. The little mouse is small, and child sized. That, is about it.

The online picture is very misleading. It shows the mouse and keyboard out of scale to each other. The keyboard is a full sized extended keyboard. Not at all scaled down for small hands. I use Macs, and have not had much trouble with using keyboards and mice designed for a pc. Even with the difference in the key assignments, because they can be changed in keyboard preferences. All Mac keyboards have two mouse ports. One on either side for left or right handed mouse use. With this set you need two usb ports. one for the keyboard, one for the mouse.
I have three Macs, running Mac OS 10.3.9, 10.4, and,10.6. The three button mouse does function as it should on all three, but on all three the cursor drifts when the mouse is at rest.

Although I received the set the day after I placed the order, it was not subject to the "over $25 super saver free shipping".

I just happen to live close to DataVision where this set was shipped from. Even though I saved the return postage, a "15% restocking fee" was deducted from my refund.
