HP - Classic Desktop - Combo Wireless Keyboard and Optical Mouse - Black

I’ve been using mice and keyboards since the 80’s so I have used a lot of different ones, but I always seem to come back to this style. I purchased this set because I just couldn’t get used to the keyboard that came with my new HP desktop computer. It was smaller and the keys where flatter. I am a middle-aged accounting student, so I use the 10-key a lot and on the new keyboard, that came with the computer, all the buttons were in the wrong place. I type and 10-key by touch and it was extremely frustrating to think I was hitting the zero and instead getting the right arrow or I’d want to backspace and get the delete. I was ready to throw the keyboard out the window. I also like the feel and sound of the older style keyboards. So, after doing some research I came across this set. Even though I only needed the keyboard I decided to get a mouse and keyboard combination so I would only have to use one USB port. This keyboard has a lot of extra buttons which I haven’t bothered to figure out yet. Overall I love this keyboard. If you’re like me and like the key position, sound and feel of the older style keyboard this is the one to get. And it’s a good price as well.

So this keyboard and mouse are just awful. I have an HP desktop and I usually buy Microsoft keyboards and mice, but they're getting hard to find locally,everyone stocks logitech. I haven't had any good luck with that brand, but that's a different review. I saw this inexpensive combo and since it's HP, I figure it will work good with the desktop. NOPE, no matter what USB port I put the dongle in or how close I got it to my work area, it would miss keystrokes, the mouse would freeze and I know it was lousy communication between the wireless. The combo lasted less than 3 days before I threw it on the floor. Now it definitely doesn't work. It didn't cost enough to bother taking it back, the gas and my time are worth more than the purchase price. This combo pack should come with a dollar taped to the box so when you toss it in the trash can, you can actually say you threw something of value away. It's that bad.

I was looking for a wireless keyboard and mouse for my Dex setup at home and I came across this little beauty for only $20. Clearly, I had to give it a shot for that price. I'm glad I did. It fits exactly how I wanted it to. Heck, I'm typing this review on it right now, as a matter of fact. The HP Classic v2 Desktop Wireless keyboard + Mouse is perfect for my needs. It's light weight and easily portable for those away missions. Not only that, but the required batteries come already inside. And they're not the cheap ones. We've got Energizers Baby!! I have to recommend this to anyone looking for a wireles setup. For home or on the go.This will suite your needs.

I've been trying to find a suitable keyboard and mouse combo, but I haven't had good luck in doing so. I usually stick with Microsoft packs, but there aren't many around, at least in my area. Logitech seems to own the market and I've never had a happy experience with their keyboards. So I tried this inexpensive HP. The mouse lasted about a week with me. It's just too small for my hands. My biggest complaint is that the USB signal cuts out no matter how close I get the transmitter to the keyboard. I'll be typing and it just stops. I know I'll be replacing this unit as soon as I see something else that I think might work or I find a Microsoft keyboard that I like and is in my price range. If you need a cheap setup, this will suffice, but I wouldn't count on it lasting very long.

It's a decent wireless keyboard/mouse combo. Simply plug the provided adapter in a USB port and away you go ; it connects and installs itself with no input needed, and is ready to use. The mouse is pretty basic, left and right buttons and a wheel but I was impressed with it's accuracy and sensitivity, it can easily find a single pixel if you're using a product like Snagit to capture screen images. The keyboard is very basic, a gamers keyboard it is not, there are no programmable keys and the media keys seem to be limited to volume and that's about it. Just a no-nonsense input device that does all of the basics very well.

This wireless set was purchased for a PC connected to a TV. The small keyboard and mouse fit nicely on a small cushioned surface (placed in lap-purchased separately). The small usb updater is nice as it makes it less likely to get bumped around (doesn't stick out far from computer). I use the mouse for some casual games and do occasionally lose the connection to the adapter, but for general use it works fine (Web browsing etc.). Battery life on the mouse seems to be good so far, especially since I don't usually turn it off (the switch can be a pain). Keyboard is basic, but for general use also works well. Decent all around set for basic use a and a good price point compared to many similar sets.

The keyboard and mouse are good, but if you lose or damage the USB receiver, the whole unit is useless. My USB receiver was damaged and HP does not sell replacements, nor will the unit work with a Bluetooth USB receiver. The USB connector is tiny and easy to lose/break. Too bad that it doesn't store in the mouse (like others) or this might not have happened. I'm just upset that now I have to buy a whole new unit instead of just replacing the receiver. If you are going to never move the computer or unit around, then this would be fine, definitely not useful for portable use.

It has been about a month and while the mouse is still working great, the keyboard however has begun to have issues... I have noticed that the my most used keys have begun to "stick" causing hilarious spelling errors and gaming characters to have sudden mental breakdowns. While I do not use this for work(thank god) I do not forsee using this much longer. And yes it was only $20.00 but (for about the same amount given inflation) I purchased a Logitech duo years ago, if I hadn't lost the USB piece I'd still be using that set as both still worked(for work/social/gaming) perfectly!!
