Review: Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000

Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 If you ask just for a keyboard mouse, don’t really go for this one. This thing goes with some passion and grace. When i first ordered the set from Microsoft company store i was excited to use the product, after using it i became a fan. The Bundle comes up with a keyboard - 4 batterries for it ( yeah 4 batterries )(but these 4 batteries work atleast 1.5 year on a hectic schedule like mine) , A Laser mouse with a rechargeable Battery, a Rechager, a bluetooth dongle (works with every hardware), and product drivers and manual.

Well Microsoft’s Bundle is awesome too, so on pluging in it usually starts running without even trying to press the connect button, that means a true plug & play . but the bluetooth wont start working unless you install proper drivers for it.

Microsoft Laser Mouse 8000 The Product runs on 2.4Ghz Bluetooth (v.3.0), which is pretty smooth, it actually works till my garage so about 25m , Both Keyboard and mouse are equipped with a battery status indicator that blinks red when the battery needs replacement or recharge. When it comes to working this things combines with Xbox, N70, N95 ( the ones tested ) , The Mouse supports 4 way scrolling and two extra buttons to configure ( pre onfigured for back and magnify ) , The Laser technology gives mouse a great accuracy and freedom over optical to work on any surface and it never fails.

Talking about keyboard, Slim, sleek and ergonomic , the keyboard is equipped with a navigation pad (scratch pad) , a windows call button , media center key, gadgets button, windows live call button, Media button, My fav. hot keys and many more. plus all the function keys and esc button are touch (just incase you need a some more class), the keyboard measure 1/4 inches in cube… Comes with a 3year limited warranty.. and a great satisfaction of using a superior thing….
