Keyboard

Bought as Christmas gift what was asked for

It works well for my needs

I bought this set because I was looking for a smaller keyboard recently, and the price and colour were eye catching. I have enjoyed using it and found it suitable for me, but for those who are considering purchasing I have laid out some detailed thoughts. On the mouse: - I’m not someone who has many opinions on a computer mouse, but I liked that it has side buttons and so far I have no complaints. On the keyboard: - I love the quietness of the keys, as it means I can use the phone stand for video calls while playing games with friends without constant clacking. - Having had the keyboard a few weeks now, I have found it isn’t well suited to typing whole essays or documents without looking at the keyboard as you do find errors thrown up every 10-20 characters. However, for simple things like searching, browsing or games like Minecraft and stardew valley- those errors don’t matter so much. - It says that the keys are raised, and you can see that in the photos, but they make the keyboard ~30mm tall. Even if you have a laptop bag, that’s pretty chunky for a small portable keyboard and I personally will not be using mine for travelling. -It definitely feels cheaper than your computer company branded keyboard, but for the price that is to be expected. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase but definitely consider what you’ll be using it for before purchasing.

Cute, stylish, keys are nice to the touch.

Keyboard and mouse are both nice to look at at; the rounded keys give a retro feel whilst the soft material gives a sleek and modern feel. The keyboard is quiet which is a delight for working long hours at the screen. I am a big fan of the mouse, it is highly responsive and back and forward side buttons are convenient. The attached stand for the keyboard is a nice feature and makes typing easier, the only slight downside is the keys are fairly delicate to touch, so you have to adjust yourself to this, but this gets easier after using for several hours. I love the feature of the phone holder, it would of been perfect if it could hold a tablet. Overall I would recommend this product.

Near but a little clunky

The keyboard and mouse both work really well, they are vibrant and fun and easy to use. A really nice product overall. My only small thing that I would love to see improved is that the keys are a little clunky and I am quite a fast typer so I find I don't press them hard enough sometimes. This is probably just my typing style, but it’s the only flaw I could find.

Small and compact

What a fantastic addition to a desktop, it makes life a little easier having a mouse and keypad that I can pull out when needed. The compact size means it fits well into laptop bags and I can use both in the office and at home. This isn’t suitable for touch typing as the keys are close together but for your everyday use, this is perfect when you don’t want to lug around an oversized keyboard. The mouse responds quickly and there isn’t any lag.

Great compact keyboard and mouse

Great wireless keyboard and mouse. The colour is really lovely. It was very easy to set up using the wireless usb dongle. My son has it connected to his gaming pc. He loves how quiet the keys are. It's also very responsive to touch. The mouse has a button to change the dpi. Great to free up space of wires on the computer desk.

Stylish keyboard, and great to use!

Firstly, I love the colour and design. It stands out and it’s stylish as well as compact. Which makes it easy to take on trips and do remote work. The keyboard has raised keys and might take a little getting used to if you’re used to the conventional standard keyboard, but I had no problems and quickly adapted. The keys itself are silent touch, this is a huge plus for me since I sometimes share a home office, and can be disturbing for when others are in a call. Onto the mouse, it’s sensitive and I can use without a mouse pad with no problems. It’s light weight and comfortable to use. The mouse clicks are also silent too! The set wireless comes with AAA batteries and it’s all ready to go with very easy set up! It’s plug in and play! Not complicated at all.

Great piece of kit.

I cannot believe how easy the keyboard and mouse were to set up. Insert the batteries provided, plug the dongle into your laptop/Chromebook and that’s it! The mouse is really sensitive and easy to use. The keys on the keyboard are touch sensitive. This is the first time I’ve ever used a wireless mouse and keyboard and it’s so much easier than using the mouse/keyboard in my Chromebook. I love the fact that they are lightweight so easy to transport. I also really like the pale green colour, more fun than boring black.

Styletech MK50 keyboard and mouse

On opening the product which was securely packed, I removed the keyboard and on turning it over I thought it was missing the wireless dongle, However on reading the pack I realised this was inserted inside the mouse under the battery cover. The setting up of the wireless connection was so easy and took less than 1 min to undertake, there was no requirement to search for the mouse or keyboard and then install a programme, it all worked instantly, a plus for me. the keyboard on first use felt a little spongy and I wondered if the keys were typing (I have to look at keyboard to type) so I kept having to check the screen as I was not getting a positive feeling, after using it for a while I got used to the soft touch of the keyboard and accepted that it was typing. the mouse was very positive on movement and clicking the buttons, the speed of movement was perfect for me to follow the pointer. I also tested the mouse and keyboard on my TV and it worked without fault and the mouse pointer became larger and again easy to use. The colour for me was mint and whilst this may not suit everybody there were other alternatives to choose from. Overall I found this product to be easy to use and set up and it allowed me to set my lap top screen at eye level and then use the keyboard set up below it.

Snazzy wireless keyboard and mouse set

I've had a small external keyboard for my laptop before, and didn't really like it - it was just too small. This however, is a very different experience. I've got a small 14" laptop. so you can see that the keyboard isn't very big, however, it actually feels bigger when you're using it. The keys, although they're round, feel ergonomic and comfortable to use, and have a soft action when you depress them. I'm really liking the mouse too - I've always preferred using a smaller mouse, and this one feels about medium sized, but is really comfortable. There's a couple of buttons next to where your thumb sits, that I'm sure you can programme, but I've not done that yet. Overall a great combo. One word of warning, if you can't find the wireless dongle, try looking inside the mouse!
