Great buy. Doesn't eat up much desk space and works well.
we have this keyboard/mouse had, that for one approximately month combined are and are very lucky with him. it is many smaller than the other wireless keyboards, which I saw on the market, than I around bought and that the largest amount taken off of us was I recommends it the battery life was fine up to now, but, even if it were bad, we are, thus over them are smalls size lucky that those would constitute not even much.


SLIM BLADE, UH,HU
This is by far the very best keyboard I have ever used.The keys are slightly oversized,which help if you have big hands,or are visually impaired.The detachable keypad is really a neat addition,you can turn your back to your screen and still work.The unit in whole is super slim as the name implies, and looks great on my desk.


Looks nice.
I like the mouse and the track ball. The keyboard is quiet and feels like most notebooks. The size is the major feature. Without the numeric keypad the footprint is small and works well for the desk I am using. For reliability concerns I should say I am on my second unit. After a couple of weeks the "." key was not pressing correctly. It is a little hard to describe but the key sometimes felt as if only 1/2 of the key would depress. If I have any issues with the second unit I will post it. Overall, I think it is a modern small quiet keyboard with a nice mouse. Just hope the reliability is good. Kensington has a 5 year warranty so I am not too worried.


Great media centre addition
I bought this product, as center a keyboard/mouse adding to my propelled mini means of the Mac. The graphite keyboard looks really nicely and is also pretty contract (especialy, if you separate the numeric keyboard block). The thin profile of the mouse is ideal also for my attitude. The fact that it is not well with the Mac with some the means worked particularly, which are key an added bonus.The distance enough for me are good there but then much a distance from the couch to the Mac mini/tv. I like also the structure of keyboard, which holds the lucky Mac and PC users (particularly with the positioning of the instruction and the window keys regarding CTRL and alto) some the objections: 1) has I trouble with the mouse on something surfaces - for example my couch. The Microsoft intellimouse accomplished better. 2) I durably the numeric keyboard block separated. But the keyboard block does not lock itself into the main keyboard very strongly. It has a magnetic connection and therefore can it inside lock itself - however the connection is quite weak. That could be a problem, if her flat to use the keyboard like a traditional keyboard. Again this is not a problem with my attitude 3), which some the special key not - which works on music keys and whatever the third special key seem to have no activity. I clogged the straight keyboard inside on leopards and attached no special software. That, instrument panel and headlight keys discharge work well. It is entire a small pricey, but it is large looking and a usable keyboard/mouse.


wireless mouse and keyboard are awesome!
This wireless mouse, keyboard and numeric keypad are great! Setup on the MAC was less than 1 minute - gotta luv that! The 3 components feel solid and do have a bit of weight (probably b/c of 2 AA batteries per piece - included in the box), but are so slim that packing in a briefcase is a piece of cake. They are a dark charcoal color, and look sharp. keyboard has slight tilt, but no legs to prop it up - in case you wanted to know!

Pros: 1. numeric keypad - great for online banking, excel / table users, etc.
2. Setup on the MAC was very easy - I hooked up the USB wireless "dongle" receiver and MAC asked me about 5 questions and it was working!! woo - hoo! I'm new to mac, and when i tried to install a driver from the CD, I realized that's not necessary on a MAC...another reason to luv my MAC! PC users can choose from XP32, XP64, Vista32 or Vista 64.

3. Mouse is 2-button with a really smooth 360 degree scroll. I have only used minor features of scroll, but would expect the 360 to be helpful on spreadsheets! There are rubber texture strips on side of mouse, for those who like to feel like they are holding something, this is a nice tactile feature.

4. It has 3 "shortcut buttons" on upper area, they work fine on the MAC (ie no driver or configuration required!). 5 for a PC, just use the CD Drivers, I assume.

Cons: None found...time will tell, but so far, I am surprisingly happy to have spent over $100 on this setup!


The keyboard I've been waiting for.
This keyboard is great. For years I have been looking for a keyboard that would take up minimum space on my desk. I don't ever use a number pad, and don't use all the bells and whistles buttons that most keyboards have. With this one, I just don't attach the number pad and that gives it a small footprint and locates the mouse close to the keyboard. It's all very slick looking, has a nice weight that keeps it in place, and does not have the clickety clack feel or sound that other keyboards have. The mouse was a nice surprise, also with just that right feel and weight, and has a little trackball for scrolling that is easy to control. My computer is located in a compartment inside my desk, and the compact USB receiver sometimes did not connect. My Dell flat panel monitor has two USB connectors on the side, so I moved it there and it's fine. If I wanted to use the receiver installed inside the desk compartment, which I might still decide to do, I think I would try using a USB extension cable to get it in a better position to reliably maintain its connection. The pictures of it shown on the Amazon web site as well as the Kensington site are quite fuzzy, so I was wary that it might be typical of that creaky plastic construction of keyboards I've had in the past. I was pleasantly suprised how solid it is. Superb quality. (But, $$$. I guess you get what you pay for.)
