The Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 800 is powered by two AAA alkaline batteries, delivering long-lasting performance. In conclusion, the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 800 offers a reliable and user-friendly wireless typing experience. Also the mouse is on all the time unless I take the batteries out (and risk breaking the access cover), so it goes though rechargeable cells like no-one's business; the keyboard is more economical, thankfully.

The absent Num and Caps lock lights are missed, but these functions show up on my laptop and can be seen from a distance.

The keyboard works perfectly with both operating systems, right down to the extra buttons such as volume control/mute! My first wireless deskset attached to my desktop PC needs a receiver stuck to the wall, is cabled to a USB port in the tower, and needs drivers.

I can touch-type extremely quickly and this has not "bounced"/repeated on me, or dropped keystrokes. Keep it plugged into your computer’s USB port, or tuck it into the underside of the mouse for travel. In terms of power, it features a low-battery light indicator and utilizes a power management system to extend the life of the batteries. For desk-mounting the keyboard is equipped with the usual folding legs to the back but I find that it sits comfortably on my lap and shows no signs of wanting to fall off.

Although it actually weighs less than my old keyboard (that's not very much at all), it actually feels heavier. The keyboard apparently has the same issue that one can only use the keyboard or mouse if one has the matched transceiver. When I bought it I was a little bit skeptical as I've never used a wireless keyboard before and I'm not very tech smart so I wasn't sure I'd know how to set it up, however it was a breeze to get it going with my computer! I've been longing for a keyboard with this precise motion and resistance and this is the one for me.

When the set arrived it was noticeable immediately how light the keyboard was, and the mouse especially so.Edit: It's now the end of March (bought this on the 10th Dec 11) and I've been using it heavily since then every day on the net, on forums, gaming, pretty much everything. Unfortunately, as I bought this as an external set to a laptop for streaming content to my TV, there is no map to the FN key (Scroll Lock + F8 doesn't work, as the laptop isn't PS/2 supported), so not all the laptop keys and functions can be replicated on the MS set. I just plugged in the very small USB wireless adapter and let my pc (running windows xp service pack 3) find it. And is it possible to plug a mouse from another company into one port, and have only the keyboard in use in the other?
