Install Flash Player Edit 2/15/18: Received the set Jan. 10th and charged the keyboard fully the next day. Im typing on it right now and have yet to charge it a second time. Thats over a month of pretty regular usage (and stellar standby battery management). I dont even see the status light letting me know its getting low yet. Obviously, if all youre doing all day long is typing, your usage is going to vary. However, this is pretty darn good in my opinion! Original Review: Ill start off with this - the keyboard is super comfortable to type on, and its 100% responsive. Hasnt missed any keystrokes yet. I think Im in the minority of folks with this, but I much prefer the experience of a laptop keyboard. However, because I tend to plug my laptop into a much larger monitor when Im getting serious work done, that means I need an external keyboard. Ive been searching for a long time trying to find a full-sized one with the kind of shallow, responsive keys that my laptop has. This Jelly Comb keyboard ABSOLUTELY delivers on that. As for the mouse, it is definitely shallow, as other reviewers have notes several times. If youre used to a mouse that fits perfectly into the curve of your hand, it might take some getting used to, but its really not that bad at all. Pair this with the shockingly quiet mouse clicks, and the shape is most definitely worth getting used to. Now, for the less satisfying bits. I really wish I could give this package 5 stars. I really do, but because it doesnt totally deliver on whats advertised, I just cant. The sellers mistake is in marketing it as "whisper quiet" typing and mouse. While its definitely much quieter than an old-fashioned mechanical keyboard, I dont know that its overall super quiet - especially the keyboard. For instance, while the majority of keys are a little more subdued, theres is a bit of a metallic-sounding "clack" to them. The spacebar, however... is incredibly loud compared to the rest. I dont know if thats simply because its the largest key, but every time you hit space (which is incredibly often), the sound just sticks out. Again, this is nothing compared to the crazy loud mechanical keyboards, but I wouldnt call it "whisper quiet." Now, before you cut me off talking about the included silicone key cover - NO, that is not how you make a keyboard quiet. Typing with it on is ridiculous and weird. As a dust protector, I say its a nice touch to include it but its dumb to type with it on. It feel weird and sticky. Finally, back to the mouse. I mentioned above that the clicking is disconcertingly silent. This is awesome, and its one of the reasons I decided to give the set a go. My office is completely open to the rest of the house, so I liked the idea of silencing myself a little more for late evening work sessions. HOWEVER, that scroll wheel. Yeesh. Its really weird to be using a mouse that you can hardly hear, then suddenly SCRAPE SCRAPE SCRAPE whenever you scroll. Its an odd, hollow, plasticky scrape that doesnt fit into the smoothness of the rest of the mouse. If the manufacturer could find a way to smooth this out, youd have one of the best-functioning quiet mice on the market! TL;DR Pros: Solid, quiet-ish keyboard Laptop-like typing experience Really responsive Rechargable keyboard (not mouse, though) Super silent mouse clicking Solid connection - no lag whatsoever in mouse or keyboard Extended media/function keys Cons: Clacky spacebar Neither keyboard nor mouse are fully "whisper silent" Cheap-sounding, loud-ish mouse scroll wheel
