What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Microsoft Wired Desktop 400 For Business

I really liked this professional sized well built keyboard.
The mouse is a nice full sized model.
At first it felt a tad small for my average size hands, but nothing along the lines of a mobile or laptop mouse size.
This bundle is pretty much the bread and butter of keyboards and mice. Really like this size.
Both of the items work really well and have a solid feel to them. Nice size for my desk.

I love this Full size keyboard and good mouse.
Good product and I liked that the size was just right.
I like the thin profile, quiet, curved keys set up that best fit my hand. I like this size.
I have large hands and large fingers that do poorly on the tiny keyboards now made.
The keyboard is too light weight.

What customers say about "Keys"

Microsoft Wired Desktop 400 For Business

The keyboard keys were very quiet and feel solid.
The keys are soft enough but the response is nothing to write home about. I recommend.
Keys aren't too high or too low, just the right resistance when I type.
Softer key press than I prefer, but excellent low cost solution for everyday use.
Great quality, keys are easy to the touch but not too sensitive.

Microsoft Wired Desktop 600 Wired Keyboard

The keys are smooth to type on and doesn't fatigue my hand while working on documents.
Above the number pad is also a calculator key which completely bypasses having to navigate Windows for it.
The keyboards are quiet enough so that you still hear the keys a bit.
I really like this keyboard. I like the positioning of the keys, they tilt a bit and for me it's easier to type on.
Highly recommended. Key touch and placement is perfect.

What customers say about "Features"

Microsoft Wired Desktop 400 For Business

So the keyboard is fine. And I like the fact that the mouse is a laser mouse.
The backslash key is "traditional" which is nice and not stuff up near backspace like some others.
I type very hard and these are very quiet keys compared to Dell or HP keyboards.
Very basic and cheap set, Works well on my older PC.
The only complaint there is that the function keys are really small.

Microsoft Wired Desktop 600 Wired Keyboard

The Cap light is a really nice feature, and I can't tell you how many times I've used that Calculator button.
There is a slight slope that spans horizontally on the shift key row.
I like some of the extra keys on the keyboard, such as the playback buttons (play, pause, volume control), and calculator.
It is very basic, with the only notable feature being the scroll button on mouse.
The great feature about the keyboard are the volume keys that are easy to access and make it easy to play back music on my computer.
