It’s comfy, but as Long says, it’s pretty well impossible to click the middle mouse button without triggering the horizontal scroll instead. My wife and I affectionately refer to the mouse in this bundle as “the potato”. Unfortunately I can’t stand their mice anymore, so I’m stuck with my slowly degrading Microsoft Intellimouse Optical from 2 years ago. Microsoft still makes outstanding keyboards, with my favourite being the Natural series. Microsoft has been my manufacturer of choice for well over a decade for mice and keyboards. If you already have a v2 it’s probably not worth upgrading to but if you’re in the market for a new work or gaming desktop set without the premium tax then definitely have a look at this.
The Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 v3 is a stylish and functional desktop set with plenty of useful features. If you don’t like wires but is concerned about performance and range, then I’d recommend you avoid Bluetooth for the time being. Besides the obvious it allows you to customize all of the non-standard keys on the keyboard and every button on the mouse as well as check the health of the battery (which always appears green).Īt a retail of US$99.95 (and US$78 on Amazon), this is not a desktop set you’d buy for your average beige box.

New driver updates come out as often as Al Qaeda videos which is acceptable since it does what it needs to do fairly well.

The keyboard and mouse uses the common Microsoft IntelliType and IntelliPoint drivers respectively. Update: Forgot to mention the software, and you’ll see why. Having used both variants, I notice no performance degradation with the new dongle.

Speaking as an avid online FPS gamer, Bluetooth had a small but impacting delay and jitter in online games whereas wireless is as instant as wired and smooth as butter.Īdmittedly I was skeptical to find that Microsoft replaced the older transceiver base which had a long cable that could sit away from your PC case with a self-contained USB dongle, mostly because I don’t think the thick metal box otherwise known as the computer case is the best thing to stick a transceiver behind, but that’s not the case. Bluetooth range lasted me no more than 2 meters for any practical use, where as wireless is at least double that. Whereas a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse took a good few minutes to connect and configure with software, wireless is as simple as pretty a button on the transceiver and a button on the mouse. (And I say that having experienced countless unnecessary deaths in Team Fortress 2.)
Having just played with the Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 for a couple days which uses Bluetooth for connectivity, I can now safely say traditional wireless beats Bluetooth for ease-of-configuration, range and performance. As the name suggests, the keyboard and mouse both use wireless 2.4GHz for connectivity.
