Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 7000 Reviews
tilt-wheel handy for scrolling in 4 directions but not so much for clicking straight down. good-sized keys, layout optimized for blind typing. mouse fits hand naturally, though being wireless doesn't track too well for playing fps. lightweight. good buy anyway you slice it, though you may want to get a separate gaming mouse.
After 4 weeks, it got to where the PC would not even boot up because the keyboard and mouse were not even responding. I've had reliability problems with this set from the set up. My advise.stay away from this junk. Why couldn't they have a charging port in the mouse itself and still be able to use the mouse while it is charging up. The mouse alone would not navigate at all at with my Express Gate menu (a feature that lets you boot quickly to a app without having to boot up the OS).
As you can probably guess from my comment above, I'm now using the Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro with none of the problems I had with the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 7000. This is a pity because I really do like Microsoft Vista and other Microsoft programs, but this is a disaster. (The Logitech Cordless Wave Pro does this very thing by the way). I called Microsoft with this problem and they couldn't resolve it. In the meantime, you are left WITHOUT a mouse while it charges.
The keys also tend to "stick" as my windows key got stuck one day and my letter m and r would act like Windows key + m and Windows key + r. The mouse is flawed in design in the way to recharge it, you have to sit in in the charging base. As soon as I started reading most of the reviews here, I had to add in my 2 cents (for what it's worth). I finally tapped the windows key to "unstick" it.
This set includes the 7000 laser mouse, which is sculpted like a work of art, and offers quick precise movement. The mouse, not so great. All the buttons work for me. Keyboard is great. I prefer a limited size space for mouse movement, unfortunately this means that I must often pick up the mouse to reposition the sensor; this mouse is the most difficult to pick up of any I have used. The problem is that the shape makes this mouse very difficult to pick up. My normal keyboard is the natural wave type, but I could learn to love this one even more.
On my last keyboard, the delete key was the same size as the enter key and I sometimes hit delete by mistake. Overall the mouse is OK. Battery life has been OK, but the low battery warning on the mouse did not light before the mouse and keyboard started intermittently dropping out.
Unfortunately, this makes this feature unusable for me. They are not positioned well for my thumb and the rear button does not protrude enough to even be sure I am touching it. I use the esc key a lot, but do not find its small size to be an issue for me, unlike some other reviewers.
I find, however, like some other reviewers, that the left-side buttons are awkward to use. It is comforable in my hand for normal mousing operations. I like the smaller delete key.
I am very happy with the keyboard. New/recharged batteries solved the problem.
It's an apparent problem with the design of the mouse if so many people are having the same issue. I can't believe Microsoft denies it to be a wide issue. The keyboard and mouse are comfortable to use, but I've had the same problem with the mouse not charging as other users have reported in these reviews. I use this at work and don't have any AAA batteries to replace it with, so as I type this review I am using my old Dell USB mouse. When you place the mouse on the charger it slowly flahes green for about 30 seconds and then starts rapidly flasing red indicating a charge problem. Eventually the battery never charges and you're left with a dead mouse.
