Questions & Answers

As I can see on the picture, there are five different buttons labelled 1-5 at the top. Can you tell me what they ?

It's a bit late to answer, so my apologies I did not expect it to be this short. If none of those buttons are clicked, things on your Windows taskbar will be launched or switched to, starting from the left. If, on my task bar, I've pinned Windows Explorer next to the start button, Chrome to the right of that, Notepad++ to the right of that, etc., like that, you see that I have several programs on my task bar In this case, I will launch Windows Explorer with the 1 key, Chrome with the 2 key, etc. If any of those programs are open, it will switch to those There is keyboard software that allows you to switch between these keys running other things instead. Here's what I came up with, hopefully it helps.

Do the "Business" and "Retail" versions differ in any way? Is there anything else you would like to know (besides ?

As far as the retail has the tilt wheel and aes encryption, there appears to be no difference.

", which is in the description. Obtain the transceivers and plug them in." What does this mean, that there are two of them, one for the mouse and one for the keyboard?

The plugs are both connected by the same one. Please keep in mind that there is no ON/OFF switch on the keyboard, which we were unaware of when we purchased.

The keyboard seems to be ergonomic, but how does it work?

I'm fine with it. am a big fan of the 5000 because it is ergonomic. In addition to the $50 price, the palm rest of the 5000 is rubber, which is much more comfortable than the plastic one. There is also a bottom on the back of the

Microsoft does not certify Amazon as an authorized seller
3/5

In the event of any problems, there is no help available. It took me about two months to figure out that the wireless keyboard and mouse set purchased from Amazon was defective. The purchase date is 5 months after the purchase date. In the past few days, the USB dongle has failed to work. In my experience, Amazon tells me that I need to contact Microsoft if I have product issues. I phone Microsoft only to find out that they are not a certified retailer for Microsoft, and Microsoft is also unable to assist me. It was recommended that I go in person to the Microsoft store to see if they can help me with my dongle issue. This is also something I tried, but they were also unable to help. Therefore, I do not recommend that you purchase Microsoft products via Also, you would have to think twice about buying Microsoft products, as they would not back their products.

This keyboard works fine, but a small portion of it is The USB wireless dongle on my old machine was bent/broken when I turned it on its side and bent/broke the USB connector
4/5

So I bought a new one. Having a replacement product that just works is a great idea. It will not lie completely flat on the desk, however, because the keyboard is warped. There is an easy fix for this by folding a piece of paper under one corner, though it can be a pain. As this product is no longer being made or sold by Microsoft, I had to take what I could get and I did not think it was worth returning for something so minor when it was for a laptop. The dongle in this kit was supposed to allow me to use my old keyboard and mouse, which I had hoped would work. that the signal can't be hijacked (and likely to keep you from buying it if any Oh for the love of all that is holy, shall I let Micro$oft know that, gasp, I can fix something? There is no fault on the seller's part as it is a design choice made If I may say so, she was a poor one. Yes, it is possible to log keystrokes from a wireless keyboard signal. In addition, proximity and access are required, which are highly unlikely since the operating radius is quite small (30 feet, I believe). If Microsoft had sold replacements for the mouse, keyboard, and dongle, the device could have been fixed. It was a choice not to participate. A new dongle does not even allow you to pair your old keyboard and mouse. Unlike many other wireless keyboards and mice, there are no switches that allow you to turn it on and off. This star, however, is taken off for the keyboard being warped, not from Micro$oft's anti-warping features. Consumers decide how products should be designed.

You're more likely to be affected by what you don't realize
3/5

Typing is something I'm not great at, probably on the good side of It is always imperative that I know whether the numbers lock key is on and whether the caps lock key is on at a glance. Until pretty recently (about 40 years ago), every keyboard I owned turned on a small light on the keyboard, but not this keyboard. The two-color LED is not lit at all. As soon as a selection is made, a message with 3 appears which announces the current selection. As far as I know there is no way to make the message remain on longer than 2 minutes You have a three-second window to view the video. It is very inconvenient for those who have difficulty with the keyboard.

I was disappointed with the usb/mouse receiver as it only lasted 3 months before it failed
3/5

In the hopes that it would be better compatible with my Microsoft Surfacebook laptop, I purchased a Microsoft product. At the end of February, I purchased a wireless keyboard and mouse. On June 5, I tossed them all in the trash. It doesn't make sense how such a thing is designed or how it passed user testing, but I was stunned when I saw the usb/mouse receiver. I assumed it would be small based on a photo I saw when I purchased it. First of all, that was what I wanted to communicate. The most common type of laptop is a portable one. If you're moving from one location to another, you should not have a huge usb/mouse receiver sticking out of the side of the laptop. This is where. In addition to that, I had the sense that it wouldn't last very long. The USB/mouse receiver lasted approximately 3 months before it stopped functioning for good. A few months later, it became painful, and that was very frustrating. I regret spending my money on such a substandard product.

I'm not fond of writing negative reviews and rarely do so, but I'd like to prevent someone else from experiencing the same frustration I did.

The quality of the work is very good to The mouse in question had been on my wish list From 2013 onwards) and nearly There was something wrong with this model and it was Considering there are so many different 'makes' and 'models' on the market today, you might wonder why I would need this one? I will explain my answer in the following way Regardless of the type of mouse I used (and I've tried MANY, trust me), I would get It is not necessary to begin on the very first day of class It must not be used for more than one week after it is first used
5/5

It first occurred to me that sizes were the problem Today's mice are much smaller than they were in years past It turns out, however, that you can also cause the same effect in relatively large mice (although a little bit slower and milder). I blamed mice's The mice did not want my hand because I had too much age on it )
The thought of Microsoft Mouse 2000 came to mind (after I used it for a while) I miss that ideal mouse (gone for all time). You know what else? Your dream became a reality! It's not a lie that I was more excited to get this mouse than to get my new cell phone. I'm done with the mouse now) As well as the keyboard, it is very good. The only thing I don't like about the "F" keys is This might have been possible if they made full-size versions of those They are commonly used by programmers due to their size. Lastly, I want to point out The experience was a positive one. The last thing to say is that I am not sure about durability yet. I have been using this mouse and keyboard combo for (If anyone is interested, I'll keep you posted.

The keyboard and mouse are really great
5/5

I am astounded! My wife just got a new laptop for herself, but the integrated keyboard makes her crazy. There was a great deal of research done by me. There is a certain top-level official Wireless keyboards from certain brands get a lot of hype, but if you read the reviews closely, you'll see that many consumers feel they cannot use them. Therefore, on one site that I trust, this Microsoft Wireless Desktop 2000 was rated second, and each review was positive. This led me to buy the book. - it's a big hit with my wife He loves the ergonomics of the keyboard. What's most remarkable about it is that it's She can easily access it via wireless connection on I will not miss a letter, skip a letter, or double-space. As far as I can tell, you cannot possibly improve My ideal mouse isn't quite as large as I would like, but it's sturdy nonetheless -- The purchase is proving to be a total success for her. The keyboard/mouse does not feel cheap and flimsy like cheap and flimsy products. The Hermitshell Hard EVA Travel Storage Carrying Case is what I purchased. In other words, the Desktop 2000 fits right in! This was a very good purchase for me!.
