I love this keyboard. It's the keyboard that we use at our work stations at my workplace. In summary, the keyboard is very quiet, responsive, and has great typing "feel."

Keyboard

* The keys' layout is spread out well, and does not feel crammed. There is good spacing between the letter keys, 6 block(insert, delete, home, end, etc.) and the numpad keys.

* The keys feel smooth and has a great feel to it. I enjoy typing on this keyboard. I can type between 70 85 wpm, and this keyboard generally lets me stay in that range.

* The entire key, starting from the left shift to the enter key of the numpad, peaks like the top of a hill. The bump is very subtle, which makes it a bit more comfortable.

Mouse

* Both the scroll's flick and mouse's clicking are response.

* It's not exactly quiet, but it's not enough to disturb your coworkers, family, and other nearby users. But, it's probably loud enough to awake your sleeping roommate and other similar situations.

Overall, this is a very simple, robust, quiet keyboard set. If you're not worried about style and glamour, this is a solid keyboard set.

I am on my computer everyday for work and after work. I was looking for a replacement for the Dell AQ6-7D20 I've been using and have not found a good option yet.

pro: long USB cord

pro: nice key-feel / touch feedback

pro: feels like reasonable quality construction

general cons: I prefer to use the elevation tabs (or whatever they call them) and combining taller elevation with the curvature of this KB feels weird. And I agree with the other reviewer the keys feel too close together.

deal-breaker: the function keys (F5 etc) are the size of a tic-tac and even more flush to the KB face than even alphanumeric keys are. I need the function keys on a regular, daily basis. The way these are presented just isn't going to work for me.

no comment: haven't tried the mouse.

general comment: I need something that will not impede my touch typing, right now this doesn't fit the bill for me, it just leaves me feeling too cramped.

I loved my cordless set, but in retirement I use my machine a lot more and the batteries were very expensive. It has a nice touch and I'm not running out to buy expensive batteries all the time. The cord has improved over my first 'corded' set, but could be more flexible.

Inexpensive and sturdy. Good "basic" set, especially for a kids pc. You won't get too upset if something gets spilled on it. NOT fancy. Need I say more?
