Microsoft: Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 - Unboxing & Review

[LittleKirra]

This is not the set to get for gaming or if u have wifi in your system.

Even sitting within 1m in clear sight of reciever the mouse was terrible and would lag all over the shop and the keyboard would be ueless for fast typing as soon as your wifi got heavy use. I eventuually got a 5m usb wire and stuck the reciever under the couch miles from the cpu.

The mouse would the best ever, Except for the huge blunder of the smooth scrolling wheel making it crap for gaming or precision work.

Front raised keyboards (near spacebar) are better for your hands than back raised ones. The wrist must always be a little bit higher than the digits of the hand. If not, you can quite easily get tendinitis.

I wish they would have added a on/off switch to the mouse rather then having to insert toggle in back to press in button to turn off mouse.

This might be late, the headphone button brings up my Windows Media player.

[MrDominator7796]

how do you set up buttons for a mouse e.g back forward e.t.c?

thanks

[zollotech]

@MrDominator7796 using the software included or which you can download. The options show in the control panel or system preferences depending on what you are using.

THIS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE ARE AMAZING :D

[glureo]

[computerhhq]

i got this combo for 32.00 usd on black friday and i love it.

[Backwardsboi24]

Very professional. I have this and it is very nice. My downsides to it is that it picks up fingerprints easy ( on the glosdy parts ) and that some of the keys seem to be a bit big, which makes ME slow down my WPM in typing because the keys are awkward sized and makes me miss-type. I usually type 80 WPM, with this keyboard I type around 60 WPM. The good things about this is that it is very attractive to the eye, it only uses 1 USB reciever instead of 2, and it is very sleek in design. I would re

is it good for gaming?????

[canabeenzo]

innovative hahaha

[Disloopman]

great thanks :D

[SandsOfArrakis]

Just bought it. Lovely set. For Windows 7 I'd recommend upgrading to the latest drivers for Windows 7. Cause with Intellitype Pro 7.0 the multi media keys don't work in the 64 bit version of Windows 7. The new Intellitype Pro 8.0 solves that problem.

great one microsoft is still holding back the best one. The successor of the entertainment series. Great value for money pcs though.

[rahmanroni]

Really nice, comfortable and reliable keyboard.

[pryvisee]

Very nice video. I'm going to be getting this keyboard for free on clubbing.com. Very nice website :D

[koolademan256]

[bestSVMS]

the the mouse have side scroll? and hows the connection. Does it drop and have a range of like 2 ft?

[defaultname365]

Just 15 minutes ago, I opened my Comfort Desktop 5000! :) Feels good. The mouse though, might take getting used to.

[miomao70]

Hands on the WCD5000...

The build quality is good.

No crick-crack handling the keyboard.

Surprisingly, I became rapidly accustomed to the strange keys layout.

I'm writing as I had already done before.

The mouse is "basic"... but it also works with a single battery.

Bad miniature Esc and function keys for some user...

All in all is a good product.

[TheSniperProdigy]

i have this keyboard yet i have come across one or two problems - my left shift key and ctrl key do not work (all the time) and nore does my return key

Also noticed from your vid that my keyboard is different - your \ button is not in the usual place beside z and my return key does not say enter

[miomao70]

The bad is the mouse with back and forward buttons on separate sides.

I don't know why at Microsoft they like to break their own standards.

Hovewer I think the keyboard layout is better than the Logitech Wave.

[bestSVMS]

that way the mouse is amidextrius

[randomrazr]

i like the microsoft 6000 v3 and 7000 desktop keyboards, they are alot sleeker

[itsstefpapadopoulos]
