GOOD :-)
The Keyboard is SPILL RESISTANT!!!
The Keyboard and mouse use only 1 USB port.
Laptop like FN key for Media/Shortcut functionality.
5 year warranty.
BAD :-(
There are NO LED indicators.
The right mouse button has developed a squeak.
The scroll wheel is noisy.
Other :-|
The 1000 DPI mouse is SLIM.
The keys are narrow, rather than flat and wide like laptop keys. They do have a good strike though, half click and half clunk.
The keyboard is flat with a reasonable amount of flex, but rigid enough to type on one's lap.
:^) _OVERALL_ :^)
For $30, you can't go wrong with this combo.
The build is slim, efficient, and good looking.
And with the spill-resistant design, hopefully it won't succomb to the fate of my last keyboard which broke when my 15 mo daughter spilled milk all over it.

For the price there's no better deal. It's smaller which is nice for desk space. It looks pretty sleek for being so inexpensive. Only drawback so far is there's no indication when the batteries are dying or dead. This can prove deadly in a world of warcraft dungeon :P
All in all definitely a great buy!
If you've used fancier wireless combos, then this one will leave you satisfied, but not impressed. First, the mouse is very comfortable. (Note: I'm the type of person who prefers a basic two-button mouse with a clickable scroll wheel.) I have the nicer EX110 combo for another computer, and the mouse is the same.
The keyboard is where the difference is between the this and the EX110. This keyboard lacks additional buttons dedicated to things like volume control and program shortcuts. Instead, a separate "Function" key is included. By holding this key, you can access the shortcuts that are on the F1-F12 keys, and the volume controls on the arrow keys. It's a fine system. Most laptops I've used have a nearly identical setup.
However, the Function key is on the right side of the space bar. It makes it terribly awkward to use the keyboard shortcuts to adjust the volume.
The Setpoint software is excellent. Lots of options to customize the behavior of the shortcut keys and the mouse buttons.
Overall, I highly recommend this set for the price.
I picked this up at Target with hopes of using it with either my home theater PC or my PS3 from the couch. Unfortunately, the keyboard range seemed limited to somewhere in the 5-8 foot range. I tried both alkaline and rechargeable batteries and tried various placement points for the receiver.
I am going to return it. It does not seem to be a bad product for a desk, but did not have the range I had hoped.
If you've ever used one of the old WebTV devices, this will feel fairly familiar to you. It's small, spill resistant, and feels fairly durable, but after a few uses you'll be wishing for more.
The Good:
1. Small, yet full keyboard including full numeric keypad.
2. Fairly quiet key action
3. EXTREMELY EASY SETUP! Plug in the receiver and you're up and running.
The Bad:
1: Feels cheap after getting used to it.
2: Mouse battery drains unacceptably fast.
3: The mouse scroll wheel is very rough and choppy, and actually "clicks" when you scroll. I would have liked to see a smooth wheel instead.
4: Mouse range is very poor at around 4-6 feet. The keyboard drops out of range around 15 feet.
Overall, this isn't a bad keyboard for very basic usage, or for the little kids, especially at this price point. However, if you're looking for a good quality everyday keyboard and mouse, you might want to consider alternatives like the Logitech MK 300 or better.
While I wouldn't use cordless for my serious gaming, I have been using this set for about a year and have had great success with it for surfing, blogging and casual gaming.
The battery life is quite long, though I do find it odd that the keyboard uses AAA.
I have had none of the hesitation between striking a key or clicking the mouse and the action actually happening that I had when I tried a similar Microsoft product.
I sit with the keyboard on my lap and the mouse on the arm of the recliner and the receiver on the shelf facing me that houses my PC and my swinging-armed monitor. I've never experienced any difficulties with distance, but then I'm still quite close. I have even used the mouse with my mouse hand under a blanket this winter, and it has worked perfectly, able to recieve through the heavy down.
The only time the keys ever act funky is when the batteries are dying or if (which happens a couple times a month) I need to hit the little red button on the keyboard and the receiver to reconnect it.
It appears to be quite durable. I truly could not begin to count the amount of times I have dropped either or both pieces and yet (even though the top and batteries popped off the mouse once), it has never affected either one.
Overall, I've had no complaints with this set; I was very hesitant to even try wireless again after my terrible experience with the Microsoft set, but this set has been exceeded my expectations. - Wireless Keyboard - Cordless - Logitech - Wireless Keyboard Combo'
