Score 7.0/10

+ Solidly built. Ergonomic design. Good add-on functionality of dedicated keys etc. Lightweight. Easy to install and set up.

- Keys feel too high - too prominent which sometimes affects typing accuracy. Keys also a bit 'clicky' and have a cheap feel compared to my wireless 2000 keyboard.

Carla, Leeds

Score 8.0/10

+ Really good value for money from a trusted brand. Looks good with a black or silver desktop set up. We buy this desktop bundle with all new PC's/laptops.

- Wireless signal troubleshooter sometimes gets a bit annoying when it thinks you are out of range.

- The radio range of the keyboard and mouse is not very far and it would have been better if it was rechargable.
