For keyboard: The keys have a decent stop, the QWERTY layout is not burdened with unnecessary, double-assigned function keys, here are some research was necessary because many wireless Logitech keyboards now follow this principle, even if the dimensions of the keyboard does not need give. Apart from the missing right Windows key, instead of which a widened context menu button is placed, this corresponds to a conventional, full keyboard. In addition, some special keys are placed above the F-keys, including play / pause, volume, Home, Email, standby and calculator that will work without additional software or drivers. A physical slide switch is used for switching off the keyboard, if this example is stowed in a pocket. In normal desktop operating this switch must but because of the overall low power consumption, especially when not in use, can not be operated. All other keys, including arrows, Ins / Del, Pos1, End, Page Up / Down and the numeric keypad are placed as usual and with enough distance from the rest of the keys. Two folding feet allow angling the keyboard. To save energy, the keyboard waived status LEDs for Caps Lock and Num Lock. The keyboard is nice and light. A palm rest is not supplied.
For mouse: this uses conventional optical scanning via LED, works according to this not to reflective or transparent surfaces. The sliders have exactly the right friction. The mouse has two buttons and a scroll wheel with dual function as a middle mouse button, and has a decent resolution. The mouse is relatively small. Unfortunately, the battery cover is quite loose, so that when moving the mouse rattling can be heard. With a bit of foam rubber but you can fill up the battery compartment so that the lid sits tightly and no longer rattle. Like the keyboard, the mouse has a slide switch for switching off during transport. For stationary use, the mouse switches in the absence of movement in standby, but is active in motion without delay immediately. Laser scanning would have been nice, but is in the low power consumption with a single AA battery and the budget probably not feasible. The optical sensor works in the infrared range, thus invisible.
Conclusion: for a good 25 EUR, and thus the equivalent of a wired combo, you get a decent wireless mouse / keyboard combination with low power consumption and a full keyboard layout with ordinary keys, and without multiple connection via a function key combination. The mouse is average, but can subsequently be replaced by a higher-quality model for the unified receiver. In any case, it will save you by the good energy management both Input Devices permanent store, and also does not need to change batteries on a monthly, as is often was the case with earlier wireless desktop combinations.
At this price you can not go wrong anyway, and receives at a good price / performance ratio a proper combo that reduces cable clutter on the desktop.
