The mouse does not have a charging station. Two ordinary batteries or two batteries in, mouse runs. I do not necessarily bad. The keyboard also has only two batteries. I think four would have been better, but I'm waiting until even know how long she keeps with two batteries. Mouse and keyboard batteries to show (but this could not test I).
However, there are some negative points that I rate combined with a star deduction:
- The keyboard is really clean never by their black color. Again and again you have to blow away dust. Gray would have been the better color.
- The mouse is black, and so a small dust layer forms at the location where the index finger ends. Looks ugly, and you have to dust every now and then remove.
- The keyboard has no standby button. Incomprehensible, because this one might actually be needed several times a day.
- Although a mouse and keyboard are good, I criticize that you can only buy the two together.
- The mouse click rather loud.
It is true that the left shift key is very small. However, I have got used to it very quickly. I think three or four times resorted next, then sat the little finger.
Excellent is the USB receiver. Between mouse or keyboard and receiver are with me several thick wood panels and the computer itself. This has yet managed none of my USB receiver, and so the USB stick had to be placed always means extension cord on the desk. Here Microsoft has really done an excellent job.
I would buy the keyboard + mouse again.
