Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5050 - Black. Wireless, Ergonomic Keyboard and Mouse Combo. Built-in Palm Rest and Comfort Curve Design. Customizable Windows Shortcut Keys

So I looked a long time for the perfect keyboard, and I was less picky about the mouse but I wanted that to be a particular way too. This combo is quite perfect. The mouse is a perfect size, with comfort grip on the sides and a programmable button on either side that defaults to forward/back for whatever software you're working in at the time. The keyboard feels soooo good. The base where your hands rest has a soft feel but is very sturdy, the keys are soft touch (a little loud but not bad at all) and all those extra function keys, whoa! It will spoil the crap out of you for ever working on a stupid "normal" keyboard again with how it streamlines tasks and just generally makes your life easier once you develop the habits of actually using them instead of the multiple steps of the old way. Best of all, it's VERY easy to use. Setup is really simple (which is good, because it does NOT come with an instruction manual), it's literally plug and play; just put the batteries into the mouse and keyboard, plug in the receiver to your computer's USB and off you go. Just be sure to download the drivers to make use of the COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZEABLE favorites bar on the keyboard and all the different options you can choose to suit your preference for both devices. Also for my fellow lefties out there, this mouse can be configured for left hand use very easily as well.Definitely worth the money - highly recommend!

This keyboard is one of the best I have ever used. It is an ergonomic keyboard well designed. Typing is easy. Installation is very easy. Windows 10 recognized it immediately by model number. The mouse also works great, it works better for me than much more expensive ones I have bought before. The mouse has a lot or programmable features. The keyboard is not large. It fits perfect on my table and does not look bulky or take up too much space. The color and look is beautiful. There are plenty of programmable keys on the keyboard also. It has volume controls and pause and play buttons for music. Has a lot of pre programmed keys on the top rows. I even love the clacking of the keys. The keyboard is very durable and easy to clean. The only problem, if even I can consider it a problem, is that batteries on the mouse do drain pretty fast. I think this is a great value and an excellent keyboard. I love the look of it and the feel of the keys. The mouse, for me, fits my hand perfectly and is easy to use.

I love this set so much, I bought another set for a new PC build!!! Sits nicely and feels right. I have large hands and have no problems with this keyboard. Everything is quick and responsive. Battery lasts a LONG time. Mouse is okay but don't use mouse anymore. I use a logitech g502 gaming mouse now. Still love the keyboard! Lots of shortcut keys and smoothkeystrokes without being clicky loud like a lot of mechanical keyboards. Original keyboard I use still is over 5 yrs old and has plenty of life left. I play a few PC games and wore off the wasd key symbols.... All still works fine!

I'll start off this review by saying that I do like this keyboard. The mouse, eh.. it's all right but there's some minor gripes. One gripe universally that affects both the mouse and keyboard is the USB dongle. It's a bit too long and I would prefer the dongle from the MS Sculpt keyboards or Logitech transceivers. They're just smaller, more compact, seem more durable and doesn't get in the way. I'll review the mouse and the keyboard's pros and cons separately.Keyboard:Pros: Not a split keyboard so it's a bit smaller in width than most ergo keyboards which ensures closer mouse placement for less RSI strain. (Plenty of people forget about mouse placement and how it affects you). Its keys are quiet and it gives a durable feeling to it overall. Simple and effective layout for an everyday user. The palm rest is nice and the overall keyboard has a sleek and cool look to it.Cons: You have to download the driver from Microsoft's website to customize the extra keys (1-5) and to see if the lock keys are activated. When accessing some of the lock keys, ex."Function lock", which I and many others prefer a regular toggle button and not a lock function; it doesn't indicate whether it's activated without the driver. A simple light indicator to show whether the keys are "locked" or not would be helpful. I also don't like the fact that there's 2 removable "legs" to raise the board. I would prefer everything be attached so there's no extra pieces that could get lost. Lastly, there's a couple of buttons that you're not sure what it does and it would help if the manual indicated their functions. (TIP: the button next to the right ALT is a switch task button, and you might need the driver for it to work properly. At least, I'm pressing it without the driver, and nothing is happening).Mouse:Pros: It's a larger mouse so it fits in the palm of your hand fuller, which can be helpful since you don't want to be gripping too hard or over-exerting your hand muscles.Cons: The mouse is just a bit awkward itself. The back and forward keys are on both opposite ends of your hands so your ring finger would unconsciously hit the forward key when just holding the mouse. One note: I couldn't find an ON/OFF button on the mouse (apparently it's on the bottom, but I must've missed it when I looked there).So there you have it. A good keyboard (albeit a few gripes) overall with an okay mouse combo. Decent affordable price. A bit more compact which is nice for RSI/Carpal sufferers to have closer mouse placement. It's probably one of the more affordable keyboards on Amazon that doesn't cut too many corners on quality.

My only complaint is after several years of amazingness and mega-usage the key labels wear off. You can purchase key stickers to re-label keys when this eventually happens, so not the end of the world.Because this is one of the best keyboards I've ever used, I want to purchase another one of these for a different computer and discovered Microsoft stopped making this model and no other keyboard seems similar enough. Why Microsoft?! Why!? :-(

This keyboard lasted seven years. It’s still working perfectly, but the letters have faded and I’m kind of sad that it’s not available anymore on Amazon. Cause I would like to buy a new one.
