Reviews of the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000
-
CNET Review
The Good: Good-looking; curved keyboard for faster, more comfortable typing; several programmable quick-launch keys; Windows and Mac OS compatible; handy Zoom Slider and magnification features.
The Bad: Separate interfaces for configuring mouse and keyboard; mushy mouse buttons; overall cheap feel.
The Bottom Line: It's wireless and stylish, and it offers several useful features, but the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 has a cheap, lightweight feel that hurts this otherwise well-designed keyboard-and-mouse set.
