(More customer reviews)Excellent keyboard. Its buttons feel similar to a laptop keyboard which I don't prefer but that's OK.
Also, as another reviewer mentioned, it does NOT have lights to indicate button status such as CAPS LOCK, Num Lock, Scroll Lock, etc. Fear not, there is a solution to this. You can find the solution at sourceforge dot net. All the software there is OPEN SOURCE which is even better. :D Go there and type in "caps lock" and hit enter. The program is called "keystate". I'd give you a direct link here but Amazon won't allow me which is why I've had to edit my review.
Be sure to download the "static" version. This will show you the status of those above mentioned buttons on your screen.
The range of this thing is impressive to say the least. My computer is in my backroom and I closed the door, went into the kitchen, out the side exterior door with it closed and stood on the porch and held down the buttons in notepad. It typed them just as I did. That must've been 35 feet and through multiple walls. I also play processor intensive games and I need a keyboard that doesn't have any lag because I have to act very quickly on my game or I could end up losing. So far, there is NO lag at all. Not even a little bit.
The mouse seems pretty cheap. Though, they didn't tell me this in the description but the mouse is actually a 5 button mouse which is great! I was expecting only a 3 button mouse. So that makes up for the cheapness of it.
Also, both the mouse and the keyboard only require 1 AAA battery each. Though, you can put two in each to extend the range or longevity of use before replacing the battery.
Media buttons on both sides including Play, Pause, next, back, mute, volume up, volume down, and default music player launch.
It also has computer hotkeys at the top. Such as Sleep, My computer, calculator, search, refresh, (a star key), mail, and home page. It is a tad bit heavier than other wireless keyboards but that's probably due to the fact that it's a 2.4 ghz wireless keyboard and not one of the lesser type.
I've had it now for a little over 24 hours. If this thing breaks or anything goes wrong, I will come back here and update this review. Otherwise, assume that everything is just fine.
UPDATE: It stopped working. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was. I reinserted the CD and it would start working again and then shortly stop there after. I'm running Windows XP but you know when it comes to software there are too many variables to consider. It's hard to know if it was my fault or the keyboards fault. All I know is, it stopped working and I had to resort to my previous keyboard. Also, the brand "Frisby" I do not recognize so I would have to say I would no longer recommend this item. Unfortunately, I can't change my star rating or I would drop it to a 3.
