Vive Comb Wireless Keyboard and Mouse, 2.4GHz Rechargeable Compact Whisper-Quiet Full-Size Keyboard and Mouse Combo with Nano USB Receiver for Windows, Laptop, PC, Notebook-Black

Comment

After using this set up regularly for about 3 days here are the PROS & CONS. If there was an option I would rate this set up 4.7. PROS: The keyboard is gorgeous - Light form factor. - Beautiful design. Simple yet tasteful - Long battery life. I almost never have to worry about it. I usually charge it at night, but even if I dont its not a big deal. - One dongle for both keyboard and mouse give you a lot of real estates to work with other USB devices. - Signal is strong and clean. No lag whatsoever. - The key does flex, but typing is a comfort. The key are big enough where its easy to reach but small enough to have the keyboard in a compact form. - Amazing layout. The media layout with the function lock is genius. Being able to use the FN function of the keys without needing to press FN is just amazing. Being able to toggle that make it one of the most friendly layout for a typical "commuter" keyboard. - I can see this being used on NUCs and other smaller devices and its extremely convenient at my office. CONS: The mouse. For almost every aspect that makes the keyboard an absolute charm, the mouse is its tag along that holds all the negative feedback to this product. You can charge the keyboard but the mouse is battery (JUST WHY?) The keyboard is compact and easy to use but the mouse design is just awkward compare to the keyboard. Having a dongle for both devices but wanting to swap out the mouse is such a conflicting emotion. TL;DR. I would definitely recommend this product but if the manufacture is reading this, PLEASE COME OUT WITH A CHARGEABLE WIRELESS MOUSE. Its DOABLE and I know you guys can make it happen. I feel like its the only component that I would have to complain about. Over all, it was a pleasure using the keyboard. As much as I harped on the mouse, the mouse is quite responsive and for anyone who uses office work and need to commute through out the day, this is easily one of the best set to get. Its light, its beautiful, but most importantly, IT DOES THE JOB WELL. Nothing beats a device that just works.

I had been looking for a compact but sensitive keyboard and mouse for a while that was both responsive and sturdy. This wireless combo fills the bill with me, with only a few reservations. I happened on this at Amazon at a very reasonable price for what it does. First of all, I am a retired computer engineer and I am probably much more critical of computer devices than most people. A great deal of my time is spent on a computer still. I have average sized hands and this is just perfect in size for me. From the top of the keyboard function key row to the bottom of the space bar row, it takes up about an inch less in physical real estate than typical KBs. The same is true of the keyboard keys from left to right, including the number pad and directional keys. However there is no “unused space” on the left or right, top or bottom of the device. It is compact but does not short change the typing area. This was designed for Windows. I tried it on both Windows 7 and Windows 10, the oldest supported version of Windows and the latest version. It was very slow to load the driver on W7 and then find the dongle receiver to activate; perhaps 3 minutes total. Both computers would fall into the range of very fast and high power. The W10 computer was about a minute. The wireless frequency is in the 2.4G range, which is also active with MANY other devices. I have many of those potentially interfering devices active all the time. From the first effort, there was no interference with any other device. My previous KB and mouse were a Microsoft combo; excellent in performance but bulky and somewhat fragile. This KB is not fragile in any way. I would say it is beyond sturdy but perhaps not indestructible. I found it interesting that this is a “sealed” unit. There are NO SCREWS on it for entry into the inside. Hence, there are no user changeable batteries; it comes with an internal rechargeable battery, a USB charging cable (included) and a very small plug on the end near the numeric pad for charging. The keyboard itself is very thin and in my (humble) opinion, very friendly and lightweight. There are no adjustable feet on the bottom to modify the angle of the typing surface in relationship to the desk. For me, I saw no need to adjust it as it was very comfortable in the native natural angle. It does have anti-skid pads on it and even on a slippery surface will not slide. The thickness of the KB is only about a quarter of an inch in the typing area (slightly thicker near the top in order to generate an angle) with the keys themselves up another tenth of an inch. It does have a (very) slight responsive feedback noise when the keys are depressed that is reassuring to touch typists and yet, it is strong enough (with no bounce to the keys) that “key pounders” will have no issues about this KB. For those that like to look at the keys, the characters are VERY visible, particularly the letters. On a scale of 1 to 10 for feel and key “feedback”, I rate this as a very positive 9 and it is probably as good as I have ever seen. Overall look and feel is a 10. I really like it. The key layout is a typical Windows pattern with all the special Windows shortcut keys. It also has shortcuts on the function keys used with the FN key. If you are familiar with a Windows layout KB, you will immediately be at home with this. As far as moving around with this KB, it is EXTREMELY light and simple to carry around; the physical small size fits anywhere nicely, including your lap. All of the typical visual indicators are above the directional key area and the numeric pad, out of the way. The keyboard and mouse driver was nicely in tune with the Windows control program for fine tuning the KB and the mouse; I went through all of the possibilities for both and setup was fully functional. The mouse is also lightweight and relatively small in physical size but unlike the KB, it does use 2 AAA batteries for power in it. This came with no batteries so if you purchase this, buy a package as you will need them to get started. There is no recharge capability on the mouse. The left and right mouse buttons are mirror image interchangeable (though the Windows setup program) for left or right hand mouse operation. The roller button travel length also responds perfectly to the program in setting how much the wheel moves the display. There is also a “mouse travel and movement speed button” (DPI – dots per inch) if the user needs it. I think most users, including me, will probably feel it is overkill to have that type button as that issue can be adjusted in the control program. If the mouse or keyboard determines no device activity for 10 minutes, they will individually enter a sleep mode (nice!) to prolong battery life. A press of a key on the KB or a touch of a button on the mouse will awaken the device in 3 seconds. While in the sleep mode, the devices are “live” and they do use minimum power but awaken quickly and conveniently. Each has a physical switch to turn them off completely. A mouse and a KB are personal devices. I like both of these. Each user must have a certain comfort level with them. In that respect, these are easy to like, in my opinion, for most people. I think both would be gender friendly and perhaps good with young people as well. While I doubt they are unbreakable, they seem to be “tough”. A very good KB and mouse combo of any manufacturer will be near or above $100. This is about half that and it is VERY good or better. I don’t think I would call that disposable but it approaches inexpensive. I felt very comfortable with this combo. I liked it immediately and I am very happy with it in all aspects.

Ive now been using this keyboard and mouse combo for about six months. Overall, its very high quality, thin and lightweight, and is pleasantly quiet unless youre really hammering on it. This keyboard could easily be used in a cube farm without neighbors getting annoyed at your key-banging. My usage is in a home office, approximately 1-2 hours per day. Battery life on the mouse is roughly 5 months--I just changed the mouse batteries for the first time about a month ago. When the batteries get low the mouse just starts misbehaving, slow or sporadic response, skipping, etc. A quick battery swap immediately resolved all issues. The keyboard has internal rechargeable batteries, charging using a standard Micro-USB connector. The charge life on the keyboard is insane. I charged it the day I received it, and I havent charged it since, and here we are 6 months later and Im typing this review on it. I do not turn it off either. It just sits at the desk, "on" the whole time, and ready for use. The ONLY issue Ive had with it thus far is a pretty consistent recurring typo. For words which have an "er" combination, like ever, batteries, etc. I tend to get a doubled "e", for example, in typing this review, I got "eveery" instead of "every". Its not all the time, but it is often enough that Ill regularly find it in almost any e-mail or document Im typing. Its not me--this is the only keyboard Ive had this issue with (and as an IT guy I type on 10 different keyboards a day). Thankfully most software gives a red-wavy-underline for misspelled words and fixing the occasional typos is pretty easy. But it is a tiny blemish on what is otherwise a perfect keyboard and mouse combo. I just live with the issue as its not severe enough to warrant me looking for a different keyboard and I love everything else about this one.

This is a truly lovely keyboard: incredibly easy to set up, well designed, sleek, the decals dont appear to rub off easily, and it has all kinds of great features: caps lock and num lock light up, etc. When I first started using it, I thought it was perfect. Unfortunately, I may have had a faulty keyboard, since some of the keys were unresponsive, and I needed to hit them with full force right in the middle of the key. Ive never had this trouble with a keyboard before. I contacted the sellers, who were great. They offered me an exchange or refund. I took the refund because I will get another keyboard. I cannot fault the sellers. They were incredibly gracious and deserve the highest praise. They are definitely the standard for online selling: prompt response, no questions asked, courteous emails. I really wanted to love this keyboard, and so I am disappointed. But I am pretty sure mine was faulty.

The keyboard is working great, I love the look and feel, how flat it is. I was looking for one that felt like a laptop keyboard, and this is exactly that except the keys are slightly larger than standard laptop keyboard. Its been a couple of weeks, and no issues with the keyboard whatsoever. Ive only had to charge it once when I got it, and it still has enough juice to work. Knocking off stars because the mouse I received doesnt right-click. Having to use an old mouse (and another USB port) instead of the one that came with the keyboard, which is annoying to me but I dont want to go through the hassle of returning and receiving another set since the keyboard works well and I need it. UPDATE: Seller contacted me after seeing my review and gave me a partial refund for the defective mouse. Customer service is good, so adding a star to my original 3 star review.

Keyboard is very quite, just what I was in search of, no loud-loud clicks & clacks. Low profile keys allows for faster typing. Silicone dust cover, a bonus. Full use mouse- low profile. Amazon descriptions indicated 18 month warranty. Since there was no packaging- warranty card or information, I contacted the seller REP: Cassie. RESPONSE: WARRANTY Yes. If you have any problems with the product, you can contact me through the buyer message. I will reply within 24 hours. Hope it will meet your expectations. Best regards Cassie

Keyboard is set up exactly as a regular one just without number pad on the right, which I am used to having so that takes a bit of getting used to if you use that a lot. Mouse is shorter in length than an average one, just about 4 1/4", but this is all part of the compact, lightweight design of the package. It responds well and is ultra quiet - no clicking sound at all. Keyboard does "give/sag" a bit in the middle if you type hard on the middle keys, but I chalk this up to the overall lightweight design - nothing that will break the keyboard or affect its functionality. Both keyboard and mouse have on/off switch on the back to save battery life. Set up was super easy - plug the tiny flash drive into your computer USB port put batteries in keyboard and mouse and youre ready to go. Cant comment on overall battery life yet as I have only been using for a little over a week now. If you are looking to go wireless and want the portability of a wireless set up then this will not disappoint. I tested ability to use keyboard and mouse from a distance and was able to type from 20 feet away from my computer. Didnt think anyone needs to go further out than that. I can easily recommend this set up if your are ready to go wireless, especially if you need/want to move keyboard around easily and loose the hassle of wires!

I ordered this set for my office. I was previously using a Logitech K120 keyboard and a standard Kensington mouse. I wanted to upgrade to something quieter. I couldnt be happier. Set up was a breeze (the hardest part was getting to my USB ports to unplug the old mouse and keyboard). The keyboard is super quiet compared to my old one and is about 1/3rd the thickness too. The mouse is also thinner and more comfortable. The mouse is quiet as well and the DPI feature is brilliant. I love the idea of changing the mouse sensitivity on-the-fly with a built-in button. The mouse takes 2 AAA batteries (not included) and the keyboard is rechargeable (no batteries). I keep my keyboard plugged in because its stationary at my desk anyway. I can always unplug it and move it if needed. Also, I know Id forget to turn the power off if I kept it unplugged. Overall, a great purchase.

I recently started a new career where I am sitting at a desk and typing large amounts of information on a daily basis. This was a big change from my time in teaching where I my life did not revolve around a desk and electronic communications. I purchased this keyboard in hopes of having a comfortable, minimal(ish) desk where typing would be as effortless as it is on my Surface Pro. I longed for a keyboard with low-profile keys so that I could type easily and avoid fatigue. Unfortunately, after about a month of trying to love this keyboard, I have decided to send it back for its lack of reliable typing. Often, this keyboard would drop letters or refuse to backspace without 5-10 hits of the backspace key to get the cursor moving. At first, I thought that I needed to re-pair the device with the transmitter. I did a re-pair, several times to no avail. The letters T and O were often left out of any all all words I might have typed in a paragraph. Spaces were hit or miss causing never ending words and sentences. The amount of time it took to go back and correct these issues was time consuming and annoying, for lack of a better word. In a last ditch effort, I thought it might be my unusually old government-issued computer, however, when paired with other devices, the same unreliable behavior occurred. For now, it is back to a bulky, high-set keyboard where I feel as, dare I say, am typing on a typewriter, or at least a keyboard from when I was in elementary school :) The high keys make typing difficult but at least I can write an assignment in a reasonable amount of time and not have to backtrack to ensure things typed are actually showing on the document.

This wireless keyboard/mouse combo was packaged very nicely. When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised that it included a keyboard cover. You can see it with and without the cover in the attached photos. The cover adheres nicely. When I turned the keyboard upside-down, it was still clinging without issue. There is a single dongle for both of these that can be found in the battery compartment and my laptop (Windows) was immediately able to identify it. In the package I received, batteries were not included and it requires 4 (2+2) AAA batteries. It was easy to type with and I liked the added feel of having the cover on it. It wasnt as slippery for my fingers as a keyboard without a cover would be. Its not a huge deal, but it makes a difference. The last feature I really liked was the mouse. Its pretty thin. I didnt measure, but I would say its no more than 2" thick. You are able to set the DPI. The button for it is in the middle. It took me 3 clicks to get it set comfortably for me. All-in-all, not a bad KB/M combo. Wouldnt have a problem repurchasing this item.
