Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000

By Rich Brown

Microsoft's new $150 Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 mouse and keyboard set comes chock-full of the features we expect from a media-oriented input device package. From the long-range Bluetooth connectivity to the touch-sensitive keyboard cursor ...

Microsoft fits a number of useful features on to the keyboard in its new Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 set, but we're not sold. We'll give it credit for its easy-to-use media control buttons, but the keyboard lacks too much overall polish ...

The Wireless Desktop Entertainment 7000 offers nine months of battery life on four AA batteries, according to Microsoft, but obviously, it's preferable not to have to worry about purchasing more batteries. The keyboard in the Wireless...

Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000

By Rich Brown

Media and cursor keyboard buttons make it easy to control your desktop from across the room

Curved design adds little comfort and makes typing imprecise ; keyboard doesn't grip your desk as well as it should

Hook up your headset for enhanced multiplayer.

Find Your Perfect Keyboard

By Jeremy Atkinson

In an effort towards a better ergonomic experience for the average user, who spends approximately six hours on the computer a day, Microsoft is rolling out the Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000, which combines the company's best selling wired keyboard, ...

Comfortable and ergonomic. Includes software for tweaking options. Both input devices wireless.

Mouse may require a stretch for smaller hands. Price is still pretty high.

If you want an ergonomic overhaul within your desk space, then the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 is the best place to start.

The Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 supports Windows 2000 and later, including Vista, and Mac OS X v10.2–10.4 (excluding Mac OS X v10.0–10.1). Both input devices of the Natural Ergonomic Desktop borrow heavily from their standalone predecessors,...

Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 Review

By Eric Grevstad

Windows Vista doesn't have a separate Media Center Edition as Windows XP did. Both Vista Home Premium and Vista Ultimate include Microsoft Corp.'s remote-controllable, readable-from-10-feet interface for managing movies, music, images, and live and ...

All in all, we're impressed with the Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 bundle. Sometimes there's a stray, nagging thought about whether the featherweight, fancy keyboard tips the scales toward form over function -- the touch strip is nice, but would ...

Microsoft Entertainment Desktop 7000

By Will Smith

The problem with having a PC in your living room is simple. It's the mouse. Mousing on the couch is a royal pain in the ass. Resting your mouse hand on your leg, on a couch arm, or on one of your couch buddies just doesn't work. That's why we were ...

This keyboard system allows you to comfortably lounge on the couch while instant messaging and browsing the web--or whatever else you need to do

The keyboard is an unusual shape, but mainly to ensure its convenience on your lap. And the off-centered keys are likely something we can adjust to after some practice

The answer became clear after a few moments with this keyboard. The mousing area just doesn't work particularly well. Set it at a slow enough speed to be accurate and reliable, and it takes forever to navigate the screen. Set it fast enough to zip ...

Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 Keyboard and Mouse

By Carlos Bergfeld

If you're left with a few shillings after a Vista OS upgrade, you may want to sink the rest of your cash into this sleek Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo. Designed specifically to take advantage of Vista, this peripheral was definitely conceived ...

Less than an inch thick. Lightweight and sturdy. Elegant, uncluttered design. Mouse-emulating keyboard controls work perfectly. Keyboard enters sleep mode when you're away to conserve battery power. Both mouse and keyboard sport battery life ...

Small directional pad unresponsive at times, hard to use accurately. Keyboard isn't rechargeable or backlit. No number pad, small arrow keys. A tad expensive.
