Review - Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 - Metallic Black

Overall this is a fantastic mouse! Love the scroll button in the middle. I have my left and right buttons set to back and forward (internet browser) and they work great. The mouse is comfortable to use. I keep mine on a mouse pad and it moves pretty smoothly.

Battery life is great! I use rechargeable batteries and they last quite awhile.

My only complaint is the "low signal" message that kept coming up. I finally disabled the messages. I don't use the magnifier very often, but have heard that others had mixed results with that feature.

My husband and I each have this mouse for our computers. We've had them for 3.5 years and they're still going strong! :)

Review - Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000

Bought this for my husband after his last keyboard was ruined. Note to self: keyboards will not survive being spilled on by a sippy cup full of milk!

The ergonomic design is very comfortable. Nicely shaped, keys work well, hot keys are great. The palm rest is lightly padded. Great keyboard for helping reduce carpal tunnel syndrome.

Would definitely buy again! (But we've been careful to keep the sippy cups away from the keyboard, so hopefully this will last for a good long while!)

No spills on the keyboard and it's still working great! Love it.
