Here we have the mouse, it's shaped very well and fits big and small hands alike. I have only one complaint which is that the left button is to close to the scroll wheel.
The left button tilts down so you kind of slide down with your finger onto the side of the wheel which is hard plastic. This bugs me after using it awhile.
On the left side they have placed two buttons which you can program for whatever you want them to do. They are placed very well as on the Logitech MX700 mouse.

The wheel can be tilted sideways for horizontal scrolling. The scroll wheel does not have any tactical feedback which might be very bad for gamers since they will have a hard time
getting the weapon they want. The batteries are mounted on the bottom of the mouse by removing the battery cap.

Now we are having a closer look on the keyboard part. I prefer natural keyboards and this that and even wireless to top it off!
It's black and has kind of see through keys that you will get a picture of later. It's equipped with a bunch of easy access buttons for your mail etc.
The keys are very very quiet and are very nice to type on. On the right picture we have the first extra buttons and we start from the left.
We have My documents, My pictures, My music, and the mute button for music and sounds.

Here we have the keys that you use to control the volume etc. Play. pause, volume etc etc. I personally think these are the best buttons since you can control
the volume and winamp in games. The right piucture shows the internet keys. Well there is the media key also that gives you the choice of choosing your media program.
Otherwise we have the internet keys which are for the mail, home button, and windows messenger button. All this makes your surfing alot easier.

To the far right we have a calculator button and the log off button and finally a sleep button. The sleep button is indented so you won't accidently push it and
put your computer into sleep mode. To the right is the picture I talked about earlier and here we have a few keys on a closeup picture.
They are kind of see through and they are very quiet compared to most keyboards I have tried before.
Conclusion:
After testing this keyboard for a few days in both normal dayly usage and in gaming I have to say I'm amazed with it.
It's a very comfortable keyboard to type with, however the mouse had only one flaw which was the scroll wheel.
Otherwise this works very well and it's pretty much 'plug and play' and maybe install the software if you feel like it.
These kits go for around 100$ which might not be the cheapest but it works very well and I have personally had 4 different Microsoft keyboards in my life
and they have all worked very good. This keyboard also has some modding potential which I might put some energy into when I get some sparetime.
All in all we give this 4out of 5 and our recommendation for a complete kit that both fits games and normal users. Extreme gamers might want to get another mouse though :)
Pros:
+ Nice looking
+ Quiet keys
+ Good documentation and software
+ Mouse works good in games except the scroll wheel
+ Wireless
Cons:
- The scroll wheel has no tactical feedback
- A bit pricey
