    Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 1000 Review - Conclusion


    (Page 5 of 5 )

    The wireless keyboard looks great on my desk. The only problem is that the keyboard drawer is too small to hold the keyboard completely out from under the desk.

    Pros

    • Simple to setup
    • Excellent style
    • Every Comfortable in either hand
    • Very Good signal strength
    • Excellent Battery Life
    • Keyboard is considerably light
    • Multiple channels available for many devices in one area.

    Cons

    • Possible hardware compatibility issues.
    • Mouse feels very heavy
    • No rechargeable dock
    • Signal strength quickly decreases to low, no warning area.

    I would like to thank everyone for reading our review of the Microsoft wireless optical desktop. I highly recommend it, if you’re looking to replace your wired keyboard and mouse with a simple wireless keyboard and mouse. Look into Microsoft’s wireless products. And of course id like for everyone to stop by our forums and join our community at devhardware.
