I purchased this keyboard and mouse for my office and like one of the other reviewers I wanted to throw it out of the window the first day. I had the usp thingy plugged into the back of the computer and the keyboard and mouse refuse to work so I plugged it into the front of the computer and now they work sometimes. I forgot to mention that this is the second set that I have purchased, when I called tech help all he told me was that the product might be damaged and told me to get another one. So I did and this keyboard is still acting like the first one. I want to say one thing the design of the keyboard and mouse are great and I really like this keyboard and mouse if they would work I would buy one for my home as well. I wish Kensington would take a look at the problem that this set is having and fix it because this would be a great product if it worked.

Although the keyboard is user friendly I constantly lose connectivity from both the keyboard and the mouse causing nothing but frustration!!! The box says up to 30 feet however the keyboard and mouse are only about 2 feet from the USB connection.

Like everyone else that’s reviewed this product on this page, having the same issues. The mouse and keyboard connectivity is terrible. I’m a graphic artist, plugged it in last nite tried to do some work and i almost threw it out the window.
This p.o.s. is going back to best buy.

Great design, love the slim keyboard and mouse feels great. I planned to use this as my media center setup because of the 30 ft range, but let me tell you 3 inches is not enough to ensure a stable link and reliable performance. After failing to perform on my laptop 6 ft away with direct LOS, I moved to a PC instead with the sensor 2 feet away, and had exact same issues. These include the mouse that simply refuses most of the time to double click, or single click, or move smoothly. I’m a PC tech, so all standard troubleshooting was done. Deal breaker, it is going back to the store. Pitty, because I REALLY like the keyboard and mouse design… but come on, if it is going to be wireless please make it work as such.

Everything started fine; the keyboard has a luxurious feel and plenty of extra programmable buttons and the set-up was stunningly simple, really plug and play into a PC which had no wired keyboard attached when I did the set up… I just plugged in the USB device, booted up the computer and everything was well…or so I thought:
I actually purchased 2 of these for 2 separate PCs and had exactly the same issues on both; the first is that the transmitter has to be very close to the mouse/keyboard to operate at all. I had planned to plug it into a USB on the back of my computer which sits under my desk, in the end I had to get a USB extension cable and run it up next to my monitor some10 inches from the mouse with no obstructions. Then everything works fine except the left mouse button which, as another reviewer reports) you have to click multiple times to get any response and double-clicking becomes a lost art, in desperation I end up right clicking and selecting the file open option.
Tech support was totally useless and kept telling me to change the batteries (now why didn’t I think of that….oh wait, I did…and I kept telling them that I did).
It’s a pity because I like the unit otherwise, but I am going to have to buy another as it is just too frustrating to use.
