Amazon.com Product Description
Get the latest peripheral technology in one bundle. The Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro gives you one-touch access to the Internet, your e-mail, and your favorite multimedia controls, while the Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical, with IntelliEye optical sensor, provides smooth and precise motion and a scroll wheel.
With two built-in USB ports and powerful IntelliType Pro software, the Internet Keyboard Pro provides the tools you need to work efficiently. Internet hot keys allow users with Internet access to launch a browser and surf the Web directly from the keyboard. Internet hot keys include Back, Forward, Stop, Refresh, Search, Favorites, and Web/Home.
Multimedia hot keys let users control music CDs and PC audio and video directly from the keyboard with Mute, Volume Down, Volume Up, Play/Pause, Stop, Previous Track, Next Track, and Media. You can even open your e-mail program to check messages with a single keystroke--that's all it takes to access your electronic mailbox. My Computer and Calculator hot keys give you quick access to these popular Windows features. Or, IntelliType Pro software enables you to customize these hot keys to launch your favorite programs, documents, or Web site.
Microsoft's Wheel Mouse Optical contains no mouse ball, so there are no moving parts to clean or wear down. The IntelliEye optical sensor is sealed in to keep out the dirt and lint that can cause a traditional mouse to skip or jam.
The Wheel Mouse Optical comes with a scroll wheel for scrolling and zooming. Move through documents by simply rolling the wheel forward or backward, instead of clicking on a scroll bar. Use the wheel to see either close-up or big-picture views without having to use menus or toolbars (in compatible applications). The mouse also has an ambidextrous design, so whether you are left-handed or right-handed, whether you have a large or small hand, the design of Wheel Mouse Optical feels comfortable.
The Wheel Mouse Optical's IntelliEye optical sensor scans the desktop 1,500 times per second, delivering smooth, precise motion on virtually any surface, even through dirt, dust, and fingerprints. The IntelliEye sensor performs best on surfaces with detail to track. It will not function on surfaces without visible detail, such as glass, or surfaces where it will see its reflection, such as mirrors and glossy surfaces. The sensor may also have trouble tracking on highly repetitive patterns like printed photographs from magazines or newspapers.
Microsoft offers a three-year warranty on the Wheel Mouse Optical and Internet Keyboard Pro.

Love the keyboard!!!,
By "fan-review" (Boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro with Wheel Mouse Optical (Personal Computers)
I have tried various keyboards in my time. This keyboard is AMAZING. I don't have the mouse. I bought the keyboard alone a while back when my sister visiting me from out of town spilled coke and ruined my previous keyboard. Now I just use that keyboard as a USB hub to connect my scanner and webcam. It also came with two USB slots.As a user, I don't like switching back b/w my mouse and my keyboard. Once i use my keyboard, I like to stay on the keyboard. I'll use the windows button, tab, alt-tab, shift-arrow up, and so forth. This keyboard is perfect for me. I can start Internet Explorer, My MP3 Player, Open My Documents, Open my e-mail, change my volume, fast forward to next/prior track, and mute. All the hot-keys are very functional. I had a prior keyboard from my Computer Manufaturer that also had hotkeys, but they were mostly buttons i never used. They were more a means by which the Computer manufacturer could send me to the website of a corporate partner. Additionally, the wrist pad is removable. I don't know what the prior reviewers were talking about. The Gray part in the image above does come off. Although, I can't see why you'd want to. It elevates my wrist perfectly. Sure it's hard plastic, but for some reason, that's more comfortable than a gel pad for me--better support. The installation was butter. Won't expound upon that. If you have a USB port, this keyboard works also as a USB Hub. It'll use one to connect your keyboard to your computer, but it will give you two new USB slots right off the keyboard. This actually is a great function. I have a portable MP3 player and Digital Camera that both transfer data to my computer via a USB port. If you've ever had to bend down to get to the back of your computer to connect the USB cord, you know the hassle I mean. I can just hot-swap(while the computer is still on) the cable right through the keyboard. This will alleviate some of the frustration of changing the songs on your mp3 player and/or downloading images from your digital camera. I use the 2nd slot to connect my mouse, so I don't have a cable running acroos my desk. I really do recommend this keyboard in every way. And hey, if you don't have a mouse that's optical, you get a bonus. I don't love MS optical mice, but it's a freebie at this price. Enjoy.

A "must buy",
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro with Wheel Mouse Optical (Personal Computers)
Perhaps I'm in the minority, but for me, I think the keyboard has just the right amount of feedback. To give some perspective, I really liked the feedback of the old Gateway "AnyKey" keyboards from the early to mid 90s. I own two of these keyboards and am ordering a third for work. I see no problems running IntelliType on a computer, as with all Microsoft hardware, it's best used with the corresponding software. As far as a sleep button...both versions of the Internet Keyboard have one (although I've never used it). I enjoy having the extra hot buttons. I may not use all of them, but it's nice to know they're there if I do decide to use them.As far as the quality of the keyboard, I'm very pleased with it. I find the USB ports to be useful, as my 7 port USB hub is already maxed out. Having these 2 ports is very nice for low power devices (such as the included mouse!). I also plug my iPAQ cradle into it. For power hungry devices, you obviously need an externally powered hub. Of course, the mouse is excellent. I don't own this particular model (although I soon will...), but I own the IntelliMouse Explorer (too large), IntelliMouse Optical (my personal favorite), and the good old IntelliMouse 2.0 (optical version--I miss the 2 extra buttons). Once you go optical, you can't go back. :) Say goodbye to erratic tracking due to dirt!

Great value but mediocre quality keyboard,
By
This review is from: Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro with Wheel Mouse Optical (Personal Computers)
You get an excellent mouse with a decent keyboard. Considering the price of the mouse itself, this is a great value. However, I was not impressed with the quality of the keyboard. The keys feel cheap, and the action is unimpressive. For my taste, the keyboard is much too "soft" and feels flimsy. The optical mouse, however, is a must-have item. The precision of an optical laser is fantastic, and microsoft really does make the best optical mouse out there (although others are cheaper). The scroll wheel is extremeley useful, and the mouse feels great in your hand. If you need a keyboard and a mouse, this combo is a good value. But if you already have an acceptable keyboard, I would recommend buying the mouse alone.
