Functionality covers fingerprints

First signs of aging are evident in the mouse in the form of a tapped rubber; these sticks even disgusting when the mouse has not been used for longer. The rubber coating on the scroll wheel seems to be very slow to adopt ...
The keyboard the rubber pads that are only glued solve. If you look up to the light, you can see where the finger is most commonly reside; yet all the labels are legible as the day!

As for me but now the most disturbing is the scrolling behavior in some applications, especially. In Google Chrome This works only gradually and annoying. In the meantime I have come to a newer model of the desktop sets (the design is now adapted to Win8 - chic!), Where I had the same problems. Must be located on the software. In another solution than a browser changes I'm not yet come.
SUPPLEMENTARY 30.10 .: I have the "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Software" uninstalled and lo and behold - optimal Scroll behavior with the usual drivers! What is there because with Microsoft going ...?!

What did I embezzled unintentionally: Due to the scroll technology the mouse on mature software dependent (see above). I also speak from any buy recommendation for gamers! This set is perfect for office use!
Speak against the use of Games: no haptic feedback when scrolling, low-lying and non-clustered F keys.

At this point, a big compliment to the Microsoft support in case of problems with the hardware! Very fast processing my request.

--------------------------------------

Then I want to make myself even to my first review, typed with the reviewed keyboard ;-)

The build quality is great, as it was already described by others. Both keyboard and mouse look fabulous, yes, they really shine - and where it shines, of course, fingerprints are not far. But what you do not do anything for chic look ...

The keystroke and the volume is really good! While there are still quieter keyboards but not many. I as a 10-finger blind (much-and-fast) writer attach importance to a good pressure point and a soft attack. With this keyboard you are quite well served.
The mouse, however, could really behave a bit quieter! I may find it difficult to compare, since I only have one other mouse: the Logitech VX Nano And that I find it a bit noisy. The Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 has approximately the same volume, only to eingies dull ...

With the special keys (browser, email program, My Documents, My Pictures, Favorites, zooming and music / volume settings), I am also quite happy. It has many configuration options, and the keys can even assign macros. The buttons can be configured individually, there is really a variety of combinations.
All special keys are located on the shiny surface (piano lacquer design). What this means is clear and I have already indicated above ;-)

The mouse is well equipped with five buttons including wheel button. The mouse wheel can be turned "without resistance", ie there is not a typical "Krch-Krch-Krch" (you know what I mean) when scrolling, which is also quite enjoyable! Again, thanks to fingerprints piano lacquer. The mouse, however, is very good in the hand and has a good grip thanks to the rubber sides. Oh, and BlueTrack Technology: The mouse can actually use it on any surface! Only on the window pane it did not work ...
The small receiver for keyboard and mouse can be had affixed under your mouse on this therefore made. For fastening makes you look here, the static friction force of rubber advantage.

All keys of the keyboard and mouse can be customized with the supplied software "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center": configure [16.11.2014 earlier IntelliType Pro / IntelliPoint 7.0]. Here, even different settings can be made depending on the active program. The wheel button is for example then the internet browser, the function of the normal center key, but if the focus is on the desktop you can simply by pressing the wheel button to switch between the open windows.

Also worth mentioning is the solution of skewing the keyboard. Included are two elongated rubber feet that can be attached to four points on the underside by simply plugging and turning. Thus, the keyboard can be forward, backward or to be increased at the sides. Who needs to increase, however the side, should more likely to check the legs of his desk ;-)

Mention may be quite negative, the missing LEDs. Firstly, the default information on capslock, numpad and roles, on the other hand the F-Shift key with which special functions of the F1-12 on and let off.

All in all: buy recommendation and a very good addition to Windows 7! However, online and not in the store. I bought this in the shop for 67 Euro to test it (it was not clear from), and I will give back to you ;-) me to wish for Christmas So whoever wants to pick them up at the store, you should still wait , An alternative is the "Microsoft Desktop 3000", also with BlueTrack Technology. However rattle here I think the key bit!

(Addendum: the mouse works even if you (inserts only one battery of two) To what extent that is now useful, everyone needs to decide, I find it remarkable, however ...)
