Seems like they were going for a low profile style keyboard but missed the mark since the keys protrude up too high. I also have the Logitech MK120 keyboard and mouse combo and I find both the keyboard and mouse in that setup to be superior and they're typically the same price or one or two dollars more ... I would suggest going with that. I only got this Amazon combo based on the reviews and wanting to try something else to see if it was better. It's not in my opinion, stick with Logitech. The shiny keyboard is a nice concept, but just like a shiny black car it's always looking dusty and dirty so in reality not a great idea. 30 of 32 people found the following review helpful Good keyboard, mouse is driving me nuts, August 3, 2016 By C. Detter (Seattle, WA) This review is from: AmazonBasics Wired Keyboard and Wired Mouse Bundle Pack (Personal Computers) I needed another keyboard and mouse after purchasing a refurbished Dell Optiplex 960 from Amazon for general home use. As a rule, refurbs aren't sold with monitor, keyboard or mouse. After 5 months, I've decided it is a 4-star keyboard and a 2-star mouse. KEYBOARD LIKES: * Feel & touch of keys: The keys have a nice touch to them, with low "stickyness" and just the right amount of resistance. * "Plate-style" case: the keys are placed in individual slots on the keyboard, which prevents dust from getting between the keys. KEYBOARD DISLIKES: * The shortcut keys (music player, volume up/dn, calculator) are too close to the keyboard and 10-key. I have accidentally brought up the music player and calculator so many times I ended up super-gluing their shortcut keys in place. * The Function keys are spaced evenly instead of groupings of 4 (F1-F4, F5-F8, F9-F12) and placed too close to the top row. * The shortcut keys I would use most...

Some more thoughts on each piece below: • The keyboard: The design itself is a bit odd, in that it has the stylistic look that you would expect from a chiclet keyboard, but the keys themselves are more rounded along the corners that you'd think. Typical membrane style keyboard beneath the surface as well, so you can vaguely feel the mushiness when typing, but not too big of a deal. • The mouse: It's a bit smaller than I had originally thought, and it doesn't really have a lot of heft to it, so when you're using it, you're not going to mistake it for some high quality, top of the line product. Also, make sure you use a mousepad, otherwise it might not register correctly when in use. If you're looking for something to use on a regular basis for your day to day computing needs, you might want to steer towards something a bit more... Read more |
