The best desktop wireless keyboard + mouse combo for the price.,
For $40, you cannot get a better desktop wireless keyboard + mouse combo. The keyboard is amazing, feedback is great, quiet, and it has nice buttons at the top that are integrated into Windows 7 programs, along with the standard volume controls. The mouse is what I really love. Most wireless mouse combos include a tiny mouse that is really meant for laptop use/on the go, but this is a full size mouse that has excellent feel and response. Plus, they look awesome. 5 stars Microsoft.

|Nice Keyboard/mouse – unreliable wireless signal,
OK first the good part. The keyboard and mouse generally feel nice to use and have a bunch of nice bonus features like the media buttons etc. The downside ergonomically is the function buttons are a bit too small and awkward to use.
The real issue though is the terrible wireless signal reception. I use a Midi tower case which is sitting on the floor next to me under the desk and even with the USB receiver in the top slot at the back the keyboard is regularly dropping keystrokes (most frustrating when you are in the middle of typing in a password!!!) and the mouse is not smooth to use. The mouse pointer will regularly jump across the screen making accurate work difficult.
It’s possible to improve the reception slightly by moving the USB receiver to one of the slots on the top front of my case however these USB slots are there for the convenience of plugging in occasional external devices like external hard drives and flash drives so to use one up simply to plug in a wireless receiver would be a waste.
I’m not sure whether this is a common occurrence with other wireless keyboard/mouse products but I can’t recommend this particular combination unless you have a desk mounted case.
Edit 06/01/2012: I’ve since given up on the mouse. Have checked batteries and they are fine but wireless reception and usability are simply impractical. Consequently I’ve lowered my original rating.

|great quality, solid typing feel compared to Logitech MK520,
I use a computer all day, so I’m very picky about my keyboard and mouse. I tried out the Logitech MK520 for a week, and didn’t like the typing feel (it looked and felt cheap, with slightly loose keys).
So I decided to try out the Microsoft Wireless Desktop 2000, and was much happier with it right out of the box. It has a solid look and feel, and the keys are tighter — it just feels better when typing (even the keystrike sound is better). I also like the addition of the programmable keys along the top to launch apps or websites. The mouse also feels solid (it weighs a bit more than the Logitech), and is a good medium size.
The only minor drawback is that the transceiver is about an inch long. The mouse has an on/off switch, but the keyboard does not. Both have slots for storing the transciever. The mouse does not have side buttons (get the Wireless Desktop 3000 if you want them — it’s also a great combo that I use at home).
All in all, I’m very happy with both the keyboard and mouse.
