By cons, features side ... I think this set keyboard / mouse could have done better, especially considering the price where it is sold.
First, it is only of interest if you have Windows 8, because some keys are specially assigned to "quirks" of this operating system, such as screen sharing (which I use not really), the to / from the classic Windows screen and screen applications ... In short, as Windows 8 is not a panacea in terms of ergonomics precisely, so you distinguish the contradiction.
Other features are not of much use to me, especially as the "share" of which I have not yet understood the operation, since I can not share web content from Firefox. But if I understand correctly, W8 forces us to connect through applications (Facebook, Twitter ...) and therefore through the Microsoft account, supposedly to facilitate sharing ... as I find it rather contentious for privacy I refuse these interconnections.
It is the same for the shortcut "windows" on the mouse, which I do not really see the point, since it is exactly the same as on the keyboard, but ...
There has against more attractive buttons with direct access to the "Device" and "Settings".
Some classic shortcuts - and quite useful yet - were "failed" or I especially liked my old keyboard to 3 francs 6 under:
- A small button to turn off or put it to sleep, it was too much ??? where ease of use? Honestly! With W8 it takes 3 clicks to turn off the computer!
- When I was listening to music I could forward / backward between songs, here it is no longer possible (only play / pause)
However, to compensate for the shortcomings, it is still possible to assign custom functions to a few keys "customizables."
Finally, I deplore the absence of a TRUE manual on the keyboard. This is because the delivered documentation is unnecessary and cumbersome because it is translated into many languages. there are no details on the features and possibilities offered by this material. I tried to find a more elaborate documentation on Microsoft's website ... no better. So again, can do better.
Here, the copy is to review the side of keyboard shortcuts, and it's a shame, that's why I noted only 4 stars. But I will remember all the same that it is a real success in terms of ergonomics, and this product is worth it.
Well, I have not come full circle ... but if I see something interesting, I will certainly put this comment to date.
PS.Gauchers refrain, the mouse is made for right-handed
UPDATE 24/11/2013: Another star less because to use this keyboard is not always a "gift". Regularly, I tear my hair because it is sometimes impossible to type anything, the result on the screen is dramatic: he zaps me a letter two !! as if reception was not! So I find myself typing "speed" beginner, 1 finger to be sure that each key registers well. It really is extremely annoying.
Updated December 14, 2013: I am writing now with a wired keyboard has all that simple. In fact, I ended up giving up scuplt use the keyboard because I was going to end up tearing my hair because of this one. It's simple: he walked half the time. The ordeal. I think there was a serious malfunction in the transmission / reception of the waves. Short. I would be curious to have other feedback, so whether it is only mine posing these problems.
NB. I already had wireless keyboards that do not ask me such problems.
