Thanks Danni for your support and comments. Would you believe it, there are 2 different battery sizes in the system itself (keyboard & mouse) and the present user of this system would have a big headache in getting 2 different battery sizes for it to work all the time. Very troublesome right?

Mouse, keyboard, base station... (Reply to this comment)
by dannirod
...I guess if they come together, they belong together in the review. I am glad to read about the problems and trouble this package deal can cause. I would hate to spend about $80.00 on the package, including the mouse...

What was most helpful to me personally was your mentioning the short life span of the batteries needed for the mouse. It didn't even occur to me that one would need batteries (duh!) and I hate to buy too many batteries, because A.) they are expensive, and B.) I always felt too many batteries in the trash are a burden to the environment.

So, I feel that this review was very helpful to me.

Thanks.

I bought the mouse !, I bought the keyboard and I also bought the base station. I have problems with the mouse!, I have problems with the keyboard and I also have problems with the base station. Just like what I stated on my opinion, they all have the same story and I bought all of it in an almost 3ft long box consist of the mouse, the keyboard and the base station. So how can I have a different story about the mouse and the keyboard when they all come together in a box?? What category can I put when this is the mouse that came along in the box?? If a visitor wants to know about this mouse, they look at this page and they get the opinion on this mouse. Similarly, if a visitor wants to know about the keyboard only, they go to my opinion on the keyboard, they will get the complete story too. As long as the item is categorized separately in epinions and as long as I bought it on one same box and it gave me one problem and with only one experience for all of them, then I believe on one same opinion, the visitors to the product page or future to-be-users ought to know about it. If you're a visitor only to read about the mouse and you only go to this page, will it be helpful in anywhere or not helpful?? Like I've stated, this is only my opinion and I am open to all comments even if it is bias one, because I write my reviews on epinions not to earn the money but to make sure that the end-user would know what they would expect in a product. No hard feelings and Thank You for your comment and your time to read on my review for this product.

Sorry for the NH but (Reply to this comment)

If you are reviewing the system and not the particular product, in this case, the mouse, then you are off-topic and it is NH material. If you can put it in the appropriate category it would be fine. Double posting to two different areas that are both components is still Off-Topic.

Thank you for your comment. The reason being I had to put it in the mouse and the keyboard section is because the Intel Wireless System package which I've bought consists of the keyboard, the mouse and a base station as stated on my second paragraph and if I were to put only on the mouse section it won't be complete because the whole package also comes with the keyboard and the base station. If epinions have another for base station, I might have put it up in 3 sections. Only with a keyboard, a mouse and a base station it works as the complete Intel Wireless System and that was how I bought it. Therefore, I do hope that you would understand the reason for me to put my opinion in both section, the keyboard section and the mouse section. I just believe that every future to-be-user of the product should know the consequences of purchasing the product. I am opened to all comments and Thanks again for your comment.
