Both mouse and keyboard are USB, so make sure you have plenty of USB ports to work with should you decide to go this route.  The keyboard comes with a collection of hotkeys at the top of the keyboard to handle your multimedia needs, as well as for launching your web browser and your email programs.

The keyboard is solid enough, if a little on the flimsy side, but the keys have a pretty easy depress rate.  The big problem I have is the somewhat awkward location of the backspace button.  Seriously, I’ve never had such a hard time correcting my mistakes as I had with this thing.

The mouse is pretty much just a mouse, with a scroll wheel and two buttons.  Pretty simple, but also kind of flimsy.  Feels like either of these things might well fall apart on me at any moment, let alone after long term use.

But at any rate, for a keyboard and mouse combo pack that you can get on Amazon for eleven fifty, well, it really doesn’t matter HOW long it lasts.  It’s easily replaced.
