I was looking for a wireless desktop set to keep from getting tangled up in wires all the time. The optical mouse is great too because you never have to worry about the track ball getting jammed up. When I first started browsing at the selection, it didn't even occur to me that being wireless meant the need for batteries. This set comes with not only rechargeable batteries, but a convenient built-in charger. Now I don't have to run to the store or keep stocked up on AA's. I even interchange the batteries and use the charger for other electronics in the house like my digital camera and remote controls.

I like the design of the keyboard. The layout is a bit different but it's no big deal. The batteries do take a long time to charge initially, so if you have a battery charger, just pop them in there. I've had this combo for about a month now and so far I haven't had to change the batteries in the keyboard. On the other hand, I've had to change the batteries in the mouse about every 2 weeks. Other than that, I've had no major problems with the mouse or keyboard. The mouse didn't skip for me. I've used both of them while in bed with no line of sight. The only problem I had was that I couldn't see what was on the monitor. I can deal with changing mouse batteries every 2 weeks cuz they're rechargeable. Overall, I'm happy.

I received this as a gift, and it's pretty disappointing. The "comfort-type" keyboard means the keys aren't standard and it could take a little getting used to. Otherwise, the keyboard isn't that bad. The mouse is pretty bad. It shuts off often so I have to turn the switch off and on to get it working again. Also, the mouse batteries need to be replaced pretty often. The rechargeable batteries come in handy, but I feel like I'm changing them so often for the mouse. In addition, the mouse can't really work on a regular surface; I need to keep it on a mousepad for it to work effectively. Someone I know has the Microsoft wireless desktop, and although it doesn't have rechargeable batteries, he needs to replace the batteries only about every 6 months. Also, he doesn't need a mousepad to use his mouse. I'd probably buy that one.
