These look great, and I really liked the media buttons, and the price. But... I dont like how short the key press is, and the backspace button on mine does not seem to work well, which makes it a real pain to use since I have to double check that it worked every time I use it which really messes up my flow. I checked to see if something was under the key, but could shake anything loose. I must just have a bad one, but it was so cheap Im not going to bother replacing it, or sending it back. Just switched back to my previous wired keyboard.

I bought this to replace my Razer Blackwidow X TE and Mamba 16,000 wireless keyboard and mouse. I upgraded my computer to Mojave and Synapse 2 had a lot of issues. Razer support simply said to buy a new keyboard and mouse as the old equipment ($300 in 2016) was not supported and will not be added to Synapse 3. So I bought this kit. Keep in mind that I work most of the day on a computer. I use extensively solidworks and autocad, as well as a lot of emails typing, spreadsheets, and coding (using BBedit of course). I am not a PC gamer (I have a wii U and switch for that) but I have found in the past the gaming mice and keyboards are the most comfortable for extensive use. Purchasing this microsoft set has only further cemented my beliefs. The good: -Battery life is outrageously good so far. However, it uses non rechargeable batteries. -works simply as basic HID devices on both PC and Mac. No setup, pairing, or drivers necessary. - neither keyboard nor mouse need to be "woken up" before use. They always start working immediately unlike most other wireless sets Ive used in the past. - keyboard is very quiet. The bad: Keyboard: - not backlit (not an issue for me in a well-lit office space) - no option to use with a cable. Wireless only. - the keys feel slightly gummy and harder to press than they should. - the keys are perfectly flat on top, making it hard to hit the correct key sometimes - I can type very quickly on this keyboard but I am still hitting the wrong key sometimes. It is also hard to press twice or more of the same key in a row because of the key action (such as the "s" in "press", or moving the cursor with the arrow keys) - like almost every keyboard except for the awful ones from apple, the cmd and alt key are switched for mac users. This can be fixed in system settings so its a very minor issue. Mouse: - no option to use with a cable. Wireless only. - acceleration is not adjustable and has a slightly "drunken" feel to it. Ive tried it for several weeks and it still feels funny. - liftoff is not adjustable, but seems to be OK from the factory. I am using a razer kabuto pad. - the buttons are too stiff and not adjustable. This should loosen up with time but for now they are too hard to press. - way too small to be held for long periods of time. I think the evil robots at microsoft need to at least look at a human hand once in a while. I understand its not fair to compare a $300+ kb+m set to a $30 set, but in the past I have used the FREE kb+m included with PCs from Dell or Silicon Graphics and while the kbs may have been mushy, at least the keys were curved on top, and the mice fit into my hand. It wouldnt cost MS any extra in materials to shape the key tops correctly, or mold the mouse into a nicer shape. One other thing that is very nice is that the receiver can be stored inside the mouse. The wireless range also seems to be very good. They will work from down the hall, even. Both pieces seem very sturdy and well made, but for my needs Im only giving them 3 stars. I went back to using my old keyboard and mouse after completely wiping out synapse from my computer, and they work just fine. I can live without being able to turn the flashy lights off and having the default color set to green. Turns out synapse isnt really all that necessary after all. But Im going to keep this set because it is just so convenient to have a wireless set that doesnt need any drivers around (as a nerd with a bunch of PCs everywhere). It works on android and although I havent tried it yet, it should also work with iOS and game consoles as well. For a more casual user it would absolutely be a 5***** set.
