Microsoft Wireless Optical desktop pro
Microsoft has been making awesome keyboards lately and therefore we will have a look at a wirless one which has a mouse encluded.
This kit is called the 'Wireless optical desktop pro'. It's a black and silver colored kit that is wireless. We will try the keyboard and the mouse
in normal day to day use and some gaming to see if the mouse can follow along with daily use and some fast gaming.

can offer.

Well what is included with the mouse and keybaord then? Included is a good manual, cd with drivers, and four AA batteries. Two are to be used in the keyboard and two in the mouse.
On the right picture we can see the reciever and the mouse. I love the colors they have choosen for this kit!

Here we have the receiver itself. You see on the receiver if the cap lock and the scroll lock is activated or not. This has been removed from the keybaord to save space I guess but is it good or bad?
I think it's up to everyone to decide for themselves. Personally I don't really care where those stupid leds are :) The PS/2 cables are color coded and
you can see on the motherboard where they should be plugged in since it has the same colors.
