5 out of 5 stars The keyboard I've been waiting for.   November 1, 2007
 15 out of 17 found this review helpful

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.)


5 out of 5 stars wireless mouse and keyboard are awesome!   December 6, 2007
 8 out of 10 found this review helpful

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!



5 out of 5 stars Impressive Product!!   March 6, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I don't usually write product reviews but this product has far exceeded my expectations and deserves a few minutes of my time. I bought this because I wanted a small, compact keyboard I could haul around and would fit in my laptop bag. This product caught my eye and the reviews were very positive.

This product is very solid with a metallic titanium color finish. It is indeed small and has a nice, although non-adjustable, tilt to it. The keys are outstanding, with just the right feedback and click for me. There are no extra, read unnecessary, keys.

I took it out of the box, put in the batteries and plugged it in. I looked everywhere for the USB key (they call it a "Dongle"). I thought they had forgotten to include it but it was neatly tucked into its travel position inside the mouse battery box. Don't send the unit back until you look there first!!

The mouse is an odd shape but surprisingly comfortable and I have very big hands. The laser is really nice, very accurate and quick. The roller ball is small and very sensitive. It scrolls down perfectly.

Finally, I really like the detachable numeric keypad. If I don't need it it stays in the bag, if I do, it loosely attaches magnetically to the side of the keyboard (either side!). Great idea for travellers!!

I'd give this product more stars if I could but kudos to Kensington for getting it right. A little pricey but the build quality is so high that I think it's a bargain. This is NOT a typical keyboard/ mouse combo.



5 out of 5 stars Can't Complain   March 19, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

It does everything they say it can do, and it is a very nice looking keyboard without taking up alot of space. I keep the detachable number keypad in a drawer and I just bring it out when I need it, which is not often. Space and looks are important to me since it is kept on our kitchen desk which is out to be seen all of the time, and the desk is not very big. One of the things I like best is that the keys are very quiet. To describe the keys, they are like the ones on a laptop, but they are spaced properly like a full sized keyboard. I thought that I would not like the mouse since it looked uncomfortable, but it turns out that the mouse is fine. The little ball that is used in place of the wheel feels cheap, but it works great, and it is easy to get used to using. The connection to the PC is also reliable even though I have the PC on the floor under the desk, a bunch of wires, and the UPS is above it. At this point we have only used it for a month. If it is robust and it lasts, then I would consider it one of my better buys.


5 out of 5 stars Extremely versatile keyboard   April 18, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

We've been extremely happy with this keyboard after looking very long for exactly what ths product offers. It is small (without the number pad) and fits on our short pullout shelf while still leaving plenty of room for the mouse. If necessary the number pad will still fit on the left side of the keyboard or anywhere nearby. I've not mentioned the mouse as the keyboard was the main reason we got this product but it is an excellent basic mouse. All three pieces are well made. They look, feel and are substantial and well made, not flimsy like all of the other small cordless keyboards we have seen. This product has fit our needs perfectly and we highly recommend it. You can't go wrong with this one.
