| lazylizard's Full Review: Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop (K51-00061) Key... |
This is absolutely the worst compuuuter product I've ever owned! I was so psyched when I got my first wireless keyboard and mouse a few months ago. My initial concern was that being wireless, they might not be as accurate as the wired versions. Initially, that proved not to be the caseeee. However, after only about a month my first Microsoft wireless keyboard started acting up. So, I took it back to the store to exchange for a new one. However, they no longer carried that version so I ended up with this one.
And this is the 4th one I've had, because I've had to exchange it 3 times already! (They won't give me a refund because I never seem to be able to get it back to them within the 14 day period).
First of all, the keyboooard & mouse ships with the wrong software! It ships with software for a wired keyboard and mouse! (This is the 4th one I've had - and they've all come with the wrong software if you can believe that).
After spending about 15 minutes on Microsoft'ss site trying to find the right software, I finally got iit installed.
It worked finnne for about 3 days. Then it started doing what you're seeing here. When you hit a key,, it often times repeats the letter several times. I'm typing on it right now and I'm not correcting any mistakes it makes. The mistakes you see here are not typos that I've made, theyare typos that the KEYBOARD has made!!!
If you want a keyboard that has a mind of its own and will type for you - this product is perfect. If you feel you don't get to use your backspace key often enough on your current keyboard - you will love this product. The backspace key will become your most often used key.
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!!!
