2.0 out of 5 stars Wish I had my money back!, January 2, 2004

By A Customer

I recently purchased this piece of junk from Target and I threw the box away thinking that it being a product made by General Electric that I wouldn't have any problems with it. Was I ever wrong,the mouse works good enough, and so does the keyboard until I put my computer into stand-by or sleep mode and then no matter what I do, it will not make my system respond, so I have to hit the reset button. It is scary what they call an owners manual, all it really does, is tell you what came in the box, not how it works or what to do if it doesn't work. Spend the money and get Microsoft, its worth it in the long run, buy right the first time and you don't have to buy again!

1.0 out of 5 stars JUNK mouse OK keyboard, June 25, 2003

By	Mario Botticelli (El Cajon, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I have had this keyboard/mouse combo for about three months. I always had trouble with the mouse. I thought it was the batteries, or the positioning from the receiver, or my mouse pad was too smooth to make the ball roll all of the time.

WRONG! I finally figured out the problem. The ball in the mouse is too small for the hole is rests in. When I move the mouse up or down or right -- no problem. But when I move the mouse to the left it doesn't work. Well the roller inside the mouse is on the left side of the ball. The hole is so big that the ball, when pushed left, pulls away from the roller. The result is no mouse movement. What junk!

I just hope I can still get a refund. I will no longer nurse this mouse along. I will replace it ASAP. Do not waste your time or money on this trash. Learn from my mistake.

The keyboard is pretty good -- not great. But what good is a wireless keyboard/mouse combo when one of the components is absolutely worthless?

4.0 out of 5 stars PrtScr!, July 13, 2004

Why doesn't the PrtScr work?? Does anyone know, or can anyone help? This is really pissing me off. Otherwise, it's great. I love it. I highly recommend it. BUT DAMN THAT PRTSCR!
