Microsoft Wireless Desktop 850 for Business Keyboard - Black

I have purchased a number of these for work and they work well and have a really good battery life, rarely do I get any complaints when people use the Microsoft keyboards and so I tend to stick with them.No issues with any, the only problem you may encounter over time is the text on the keys can disappear but I often find this is related to long fingernails rather than normal daily use.Well worst the cost and I would recommend these and will continue to buy them.

I've had this set for almost 3 years now having replaced this after the one i got from my work broke. I love it and find it has the perfect size, battery life and comfort level.The mouse is perfect for me and has the perfect curvature for my hand, which is medium size with long fingers. I have difficulty finding a mouse that suits my hand but this is perfect. Battery life is ok keeping in mind it doesn't turn off due to inactivity and i almost never turn it off unless travelling. I change the battery every 4 months or so. It also has a usb space on the bottom which is perfect for travelling.The keyboard doesn't make much noise when typing but there is a sound. I find it very comfortable to use and have good reach. It doesn't have any fancy buttons but everything you would need for most things is in easy reach. I don't think I've ever changed its batteries.I've seen the other reviews but my experience has been nothing but great.

I tried 3 other wireless keyboards in the run-up to this one, and this is the only one that didn't have any sticky keys, or that had a lag between typing and showing the text on screen. It works well and is a great option for quick typists, designers and coders.4 starts instead of 5:It is also the only wireless keyboard I tried that didn't have a built-in space for storing the USB receiver, and it also does not have a on/off switch so battery power could be affected although I am yet to test this.Summary:* All keys work well, even when typing at a speed of over 90 words/minute* The communication between the keyboard and screen is very good. There are no delays between typing and it showing on screen* This keyboard has a separate USB receiver (like most wireless keyboards), but no built-in storage for it, so you risk losing it easily* There is no on/off switch, so if you leave the receiver in the laptop you run the risk of the batteries being used if your laptop is closed (but not switched off).* It is full sized. This is a pro, because it's like using a normal keyboard, but also a con as it is not easily stored away or easy to travel with.

Bought as a replacement for the same. After 3 years of use working from home some of the letters had worn off the keys and I think carrying the laptop with it still plugged in led to me snapping the receiver, my fault! But I just love the key action and the solid build quality so had no hesitation in buying again.

A great addition to the home office. Battery (AA and AAA) seems to last forever. Very responsive and have made working from home much easier. Keyboard also has full key set including calculator but is still a small form factor. Keys have good key press not too shallow which I don’t like so much.

The keyboard is nice and much better than the newer soft-touch ones. It's easy to use and comfortable. The mouse, however, is the worst. I am comparing it to the mouse I previously had with the keyboard from Seenda. While the keyboard was bad in that case, the mouse was very comfortable and ergonomic. The Microsoft mouse with this keyboard feels cheap and performs cheaply! In the end, I had to return it as my wrist starting hurting with the imprecise mouse (it did not work properly on a pad I bought either). Have bought another one (Logitech K 540) now. Fingers crossed.

Currently on offer at £17.50 and a great buy. Has a lovely profile unlike some keyboards where the keys a very chunky. Connected to my laptop instantly once the usb dongle was inserted. Comes with Duracell batteries which should last a while. Does has a shiny black finish around the edges which some may not like but to me looks fine. So far very pleased.

My new PC kept freezing with the existing usb mouse and keyboard so I tried this, more in desperation than anything else. Not only did it completely resolve the problem but now that I've gone "wireless" I can't see me ever going back to cabled peripherals.The set up only takes seconds and Windows 10 recognized the wireless adapter instantly so I was up and running in less than a minute.The mouse is delightfully smooth in everyone of its functions and although the keyboard is a bit dated and clunky it's identical to my work's keyboard so every button is exactly where I expect it to be.Add all this to a very low price and superfast delivery and it amounts to yet another great Amazon shopping experience.
