happen to know if the 7000 silver has a backlit too?

[SaggiDarkClownlike]

Anyone know where I can grab this online? I have yet to find it >_<

[KingOfFreebie]

Can you change the color of the backlights?

[SneakieBillTV]

@KingOfFreebie nope, just the one colour.

[lyudabeast]

is there a backlight for the mouse?

[SneakieBillTV]

@lyudabeast nope, it only has a little green flashing light when charging.

[xSGTxBEASTx]

does this work with a notebook?

[SneakieBillTV]

It connects to my PC via USB so if you have a USB port in your laptop I would say so.

[SneakieBillTV]

The problem I have experienced is the rechargeable battery in the mouse had to be replaced as it would also flash red. Also, the batteries in the keyboard need to be positioned properly otherwise it will flash red and not charge. Bit annoying but aside from that it still works fine.

would u get the 7000? the 8000 is frekain 300 dollars still lol

[Corp0ralPunishment]

BEAUTIFUL - just bought one and looking forward to using it. I hope this will be one microsoft product I will like!

[imanewbie]

I have been using one for a year, great keyboard, i got it for AU$100 new though.

[nawkwan]

Where did you get it, I'd get it for $100

[randomrazr]

wwhyere du get it for 100 dollarS?

[SneakieBillTV]

@Corp0ralPunishment It's a nice keyboard and I still use mine. The only slight issue is that the batteries have to be seated well for it to charge properly. Otherwise you get the fast flashing red light which is annoying.

[Corp0ralPunishment]

@SneakieBillTV now that I have used it for some time, I'm dissapointed of the build quality. Lots of silver is rubbing off various keys. For a product with a recommended retail price of £200 it is totally unsatisfactory - I mean my £5 keyboard hasn't faded or the letters rubber off in 5 years of use. I won't be buying any Microsoft hardware ever again.

[dragoskilled]

is the keyboard rechargeable aswell?

[SneakieBillTV]

Yep, the keyboard has 4 AA and the mouse has 1 AA Energizer (2000mah) nmh rechargeable batteries. I have found this to be a great combo for shooter games like Call of Duty and Hitman. Works really well.

Thanks

Can yo Pick the Lights that Backlight the keyboard?

I want one soo bad D:

[MamasandPapas]

Woops i mean, Can you pick the color of the

backlights

[SneakieBillTV]

Hi, unfortunately not, it's just the one colour.

Thanks

[sweetset09]

i just got this keyboard how do u do that

[SneakieBillTV]

Well the backlight switches off if you move away from it for a couple of minutes or so and will switch back on as you approach it. It should do it all automatically. Holding the Function key and pressing F11 and F12 will decrease and increase the backlighting brightness.

[KakimotoRift]

What song is this? I kinda like it and so as for the keyboard lol~

[SneakieBillTV]

Yes well the keyboard is quite high tech and trendy. The song is called New Born by Muse.
