This is a good value if you can find it around $20 like I did but I don't think I would pay list price for it.

Its a decent keyboard and wireless mouse for secondary use like I bought mine for but I would pass and spend a little more if this was going to be my main keyboard/mouse.

One nice thing is you only need to plug in the keyboard and the wireless mouse sends its signal thru the keyboard once you install the adapter on the bottom of the keyboard.

This keyboard is ideal for people that want to use both a PC and a Mac with a single keyboard. It has both the Apple command key and the Windows key, as well as a couple of other keys that are used by either one or the other. This eliminates any need to program or map keys for either system. Another reviewer complained about missing usb connector on the back. It still has one usb connector underneath it and I simply added a Belkin 4 port mini hub (F5U407) for $8 and I've got all the usb 2.0 connectors I need. I did not care about the wireless mouse and I haven't used it, so I can't give a review of it. I only needed the keyboard. I got the combo because it was cheaper than buying the keyboard alone. I am deducting one star because it is not quite a full size keyboard. The keys between the qwerty keys and the numeric keypad (arrow, home, end, del, etc.) are squeezed onto the right end of the qwerty keys. That will take some getting used to. It is otherwise a standard keyboard layout and takes up a little less space on the keyboard tray. One other note; the mini usb connector/cable on the top of the keyboard may not fit all usb cameras or other devices. It did not fit my Fujifilm digital camera.

The only reason I bought this unit is for the keyboard. Teh keyboard has 2 USB ports and a mini USB connector, which I absolutely love as all my devices have a USB 1.0 interface

I purchased this item under the impression that it was a full size keyboard with built in USB connections, similar to the Ci70 compact keyboard that I purchased for my sister. It is the same keyboard with 1 less usb connector on the back of the keyboard and a laser mouse that is not my cup of tea. This is a Kensington product and I use their Expert Mouse Pro. Called Kensington and the tech agreed that the picture on the Kensington website did look like a full size keyboard, but they make no full sized keyboards with USB connector on the keyboard. The keys are flat, close together and absolute silent, which means that a less that average typer, such as myself, is constantly hitting multiple keys and not knowing if I pressed the keys hard enough to type a letter. So as soon as I find a suitable replacement, this keyboard is gone...
