 Not perfect, but for some reason I really like it!May 01, 2011
By Michael Cayton
For the past 6 years I've been using a Microsoft wireless desktop combo. When it suddenly died, I thought it wouldn't be a problem to find a new keyboard. I couldn't have been more wrong. First of all, none of the current Microsoft wireless keyboards/desktop combo's I've seen have a "Sleep Button." Hate to say this was a deal breaker for me. I thought, what the hell, I'll spend some dough and buy a Logitech desktop. To be honest, the Logitech keyboard I got was great. However, little did I realize that the Logitech software caused a conflict in my system. When I pressed the "Sleep Button" the PC would attempt to sleep but then suddenly wake up. I called Logitech about this, but they didn't have a response. Additionally, Logitech's uninstall program didn't work (Logitech is aware of this and recommends a 3rd party uninstaller that they "Won't support"). In the end, I had to manually uninstall the Logitech software myself - Every single file and directory.
I was at a loss...Until Amazon recommended I look at the Verbatim Desktop combo. Not only does the keyboard feel good to the touch, but the mouse was a nice "Big size." This was great because I have big hands! Also, there's a 4th button on the top of the mouse that, when depressed, activates your preferred internet browser. Didn't think this would be useful, but I find myself using it all the time. The thumb clicker to move forward and backward isn't in the best position, I always feel I have to stretch for it. However, it's still usable.
Back to the keyboard. I didn't install the desktop's software for fear that it might cause a conflict in my system. However, despite my not installing the software, all the keyboard "Function" keys worked except for 2 of them - The "My Documents" and "Star (Windows 7)" buttons. Still, all the other buttons work great - Especially the "Sleep Button" which I can't do without.
The only reason I gave this desktop a 4/5 star rating was because it lacks a wrist rest on the keyboard. My old Microsoft keyboard did and so did the Logitech, which I had for a short period of time. But that was solved by purchasing the Handstands Wrist Rest 59220.
I realize this review was long, but I wanted to makes sure that it would be helpful to anyone who experienced the same issues I did.
 A nice design, but poorly assembledOct 17, 2011

I love the design and comfort of this keyboard; it would be the perfect keyboard for me... if it worked. The first keyboard I purchased mostly worked, but the left control key had to be pressed down very hard for it to recognize the key press. I returned it for a replacement, but the second keyboard was even worse because the shift keys sporadically didn't work with certain key combinations.
I am disappointed with the quality and construction of this keyboard; this is not the best keyboard if you need a keyboard where all of the keys work.

Seems to be working fine, it would be helpful if it had some indicator lights. Really, without that you'd need to be a typing expert to figure out whether you have caps lock on or off. Or just a little necessary chart in the system tray blocking out other important info.
Sorry if that is a poor review, but let's face it, this keyboard really fits that bill.

Love the keyboard, but mouse is a little bulky and the back page button on the left is a headache at times. If you accidentally hit the button while composing, it erases everything
Pretty good productJan 27, 2011
