2.0 out of 5 stars Go with Logitech, August 10, 2005

I'm paying the price for buying a "cheap" wireless combo. Definitely stick to Logitech for input devices.

First of all, the keyboard is a little too sensitive, so if you type quickly, you end up making lots of errors. I would prefer a slightly stiffer feel to the keys. Battery life for the keyboard is fine.

However, I have to agree with Brian's review. The mouse's battery life is horrible. Not only do they use AAA batteries instead of AA, they go through a set in about two weeks. That's utterly ridiculous.

All in all, I'm thinking about returning this set and buying a Logitech combo instead. Stay away from Kensington products, or at least this one. Don't be fooled by the price.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mouse eats batteries, August 2, 2005

The keys are stiff, but ok. I'm hoping they losen up with more use. The mouse, however is horrible. Despite the keyboard still being on the fist set of batteries, I have to replace the batteries on the mouse at least every two weeks. I have rechargables, so it's not that big a deal, but this is really inefficient. It's also really heavy and the mouse tracking resolution/speed is not very good either. Spend the money and get Microsoft or Logitech.

2.0 out of 5 stars The mouse is horrible, October 7, 2005

By 

Two Cats (MD, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kensington 64364 Wireless USB Optical Desktop (Personal Computers)

I do hate the mouse, for the following reasons:

(1) It's too heavy, feel pretty bad for my hand. Logitechs are much better.

(2) Very un-sensitive for my hand's movement. It let me feel I need to use "power" to move

(3) The driver is awful. Sometime the mouse pointer will be locked in the right corner of the screen and the restart of the machine is the only way I can find to make it work.

(4) For the same price, I would go for Logitech or M$.

Final word: Try to test a real one before buying.
