Microsoft Wireless Desktop 2000 Review

If you're like most of us, it's unlikely that hackers have much interest in intercepting what you're typing. Still, with schematics and software to build keyboard sniffers readily available, it's nice to know you're protected from ne'er-do-wells, and...

Comfortable keyboard; only game in town for encryption

Plain-Jane mouse is feature poor and unergonomic

The keyboard's headline security feature is 128-bit AES encryption, which is the minimum strength of encryption (highest is 256 bits). We were curious as to whether this encryption feature includes some sort of custom drivers to circumvent physical or...

Microsoft Wireless Media Desktop 1000 (Black)

Microsoft's entry-level Wireless Media Desktop 1000 offers an affordable mouse-and-keyboard set for PC owners. At $50, it's less expensive than Logitech's $60 Cordless Desktop S520 . We found few surprises with either desktop set, although Microsoft's...

More affordable than Logitech's similar desktop set; more hot keys.

Uninspired hot-key placement; chunky, outdated design.

Microsoft's Wireless Media Desktop 1000 will provide you with a perfectly capable wireless mouse and keyboard for a more reasonable price than its competition. We just wish Microsoft would give more thought to the design and overall feel of its hardware.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2000

To start using the Optical Mouse 2000, you need only to insert two AA batteries into the bottom of the mouse and plug in the wireless receiver to a free USB port. Microsoft's IntelliPoint software isn't included in the package, but you can download it...

Inexpensive wireless mouse; three programmable buttons; ambidextrous design.

Poor wireless range; software not included in package; not completely comfortable.

The Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2000 is a basic and inexpensive mouse that will serve left- and right-handed users alike. But anyone in search of extra buttons or special software should look elsewhere.

Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Optical

Microsoft has rolled out three new special-edition mice-meaning they'll be produced for months, not years. The Night Vision Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer, with its green-over-black finish, reminds us of the falling digits on the black background seen...

Review: Microsoft Wireless Media Desktop 1000

If you're on a budget and you want to replace your Apple-issue keyboard and mouse, the Microsoft Wireless Media Desktop 1000 might fill the bill if you're not too picky.

There’s a full-size keyboard with adjustable feet. It’s not advertised as ergonomic and it has no specifically ergonomic features, but for a typist who isn’t looking for any special board shape or key configuration, the keyboard works well. The...

Microsoft ComfortCurve Keyboard

Most users have at some point, used a Microsoft mouse or keyboard, or both. I am a great fan of Microsoft's Internet Keyboards and when mine broke down after heavy use, I looked for something new... Microsoft has introduced a new series of keyboards...

After using the keyboard for several days, I am very satisfied with my purchase. I don't have any complaints. Of course, nothing is perfect but for the price tag, you cannot go wrong.
