Microsoft Desktop 800 RF Wireless Keyboard (Wireless RF Black, Mouse Included)

Product Information

In conclusion, the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 800 is a simple yet reliable wireless keyboard that follows the standard QWERTY keyboard layout and operates on a 2. Setting up the keyboard and mouse is simple: just insert the batteries, plug in the tiny transceiver and start typing! It has a wheel to scroll which is responsive and well weighted to use neither being to firm nor 'spinning' round as some can feel. The charging indicator light also has a life of it's own, I'd suggest always having spare, charged batteries at hand and just replacing when it eventually stops working.

New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . It does exactly what it says on the tin and it does it as well as any hard-wired equipment I have ever used. Unfortunately, as I bought this as an external set to a laptop for streaming content to my TV, there is no map to the FN key (Scroll Lock + F8 doesn't work, as the laptop isn't PS/2 supported), so not all the laptop keys and functions can be replicated on the MS set.

I don't know about you, but I use ESC quite a lot and even though I have quite thin fingers I found myself pushing the fascia above the key more then the key itself.

My headphones pick up the faintest sound when using the mouse scroll wheel sometimes (if I'm not listening to anything but have them on) but that is really stretching to find as a downside, I just found it mildly interesting. Possibly its because I'm so used to full sized keys, possibly because a thin row of keys is as poor design choice. That said, the keyboard is neat and otherwise pleasant to use, but I knocked off one star for the colour, spacing, and readability.

The only couple of complaints I have are that getting the batteries in and out of the mouse are a pain but at least they don't fall out constantly. Easy-Access Hot Keys: Quickly access frequently used tools, like the calculator and audio controls by using shortcut keys. The keyboard does not feature any scroll or built-in touchpad functions, focusing solely on traditional keyboard capabilities.

From the start I realised that I could not type as fast as with a wired keyboard, and had to be very deliberate with key presses. That is to say the build quality looks and feels like something that isn't going to break if you stare at it the wrong way.You have volume controls and a battery light which will light up when it is time to replace the batteries. The keyboard requires two AAA batteries, which are not included, and supports alkaline battery technology.
