Creative Desktop Wireless 8000

The setup is simple: it includes putting two AA batteries each in the mouse and the keyboard (four batteries are included), plugging in the receiver to a USB port, syncing the units, and installing the software. Although the printed user guide is a bit...

Attractive styling; wireless; comfortable; good variety of function keys.

Keyboard offers only two height options; three-key mouse is basic.

This sleek keyboard-and-mouse set is comfortable and easy to use, and it has a great price, too.

"Average Product"

Difficulty encountered when using with Opera and also with MSN hotmail.

Nice Design and Colour and keyboard responses pretty well

Battery does not last long. Normal battery lasts only for a week. Mouse is not very responsive. Most of the time had to click twice before it responses correctly.

"need regular batteries"

I've tried several wireless mice and keyboards and you just don't know the battery is low or going to quit. It never quits at a good time when you can run to the store for a battery. The battery doesn't last that long maybe a week. Wires are here for a...

The mouse is the problem

I like the keyboard, it looks and works good although it is a tad bit big, but the mouse goes through batteries very quickly. It's too bad because it is pretty smooth when it is running.

Solid feel, decent range

I installed the wireless 8000 today. The only thing I had to consult the documentation for was the process of establishing the connection - the default worked, but it seemed to want reassurance- Push the button on the receiver, then on the mouse to set...

Great in the beginning, but wait a few months and see what happens.

I bought this Creative wireless keyboard/mouse sometime in 2005. At first I thought it was great. I was able to go across the house and the keyboard and mouse were still able to transmit through all of the walls! I was very impressed. I was moving to...
