The trackpad built into the keyboard wasn't amazing, but considering its minimal use in media centre PCs is passable — its arrow mode was much more useful. Working in an area with minimal cross-talk the five button mouse performed fine, although never as smooth or accurate as a corded one. Things weren't so great in a busy office environment — while the press release claims "Virtually no interference" and that the frequency "hops" to find a clear one, we found our mouse tended to lag horribly on occasion, rendering it almost unusable.
This is likely a worst-case scenario, as the particular testing environment was quite crowded indeed. Those who like dents in their scroll wheel should also steer clear, as this one is a smooth scroller. Six NiMH AA batteries are used to power the keyboard and mouse in total, and are included in the pack. A four-hundred-and-fifty-dollar keyboard. Well we'll never.
Unless you desperately need a full-sized keyboard covered in silver to match your decor, we'd suggest you pass on the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop , and go for one of the cheaper options.
Craig Simms. That method gives you more flexibility in where you put the charging station, although by not plugging it in to your PC directly, you miss out on the charger's spare USB ports. We certainly appreciate the added USB ports, but when you consider the Logitech diNovo Edge and its simple, display-style charger which lacks any kind of data connection, USB or otherwise , you can't help but wonder if Microsoft could have tweaked the fit and finish of its charging dock to make it less visually bland.
As the only other rechargeable wireless keyboard on the market, Logitech's diNovo Edge remains the main competitor to the Wireless Entertainment Desktop It doesn't come with a mouse, and its media keys are far inferior to those on the Microsoft keyboard, but it also has a much more polished look and feel, at least to our taste. Any missing features you can likely make up for with a separate mouse or a PC remote control.
Rich Brown. Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop Silver. The Good Rechargeable; easy-to-use and comprehensive media control keys; smart backlighting design. Microsoft's Wireless Entertainment Desktop brings a lot of features and functions. We suspect many people will be impressed at the features on the box, but then you'll see the price and move along.

Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I have the same problem. Lost my old transceiver during house shifting.
Bought a new one off ebay, but it doesnt seem to pair properly like the old one did. MS doesnt seem to share the method to reset the Transceiver, or for that matter the Keyboard or the mouse so that they can be paired with another transceiver other than the factory-shipped one.
