There is no real Escape. Inseparable hardware from birth, keyboard won't survive without mouse.
I type all day for work, fast, about 125wpm on a bad day. I use lots of hot keys, tab switching and window jumping. This has a good "clack" to the keys for such a long profile. The mouse is a good enough resolution for basic games and graphic design, and feels solid with a fast bootup. Smooth install on Windows 10 laptop took only a few seconds, just put in batteries, turn on the mouse, which governs power on the keyboard via a bonded connection (more on this later) and the keyboard doesn't have a dedicated power switch itself. After that just plug in the wireless USB dongle / adapter and the rest of the install is automatic and very fast. Don't be silly and expect to use this stuff for competitive gaming, it's wireless and on normal batteries.Two points to remember:The keyboard is coded at the factory to the specific mouse that's in the box. Great for easy setup and security, but IF YOU LOSE THERE MOUSE THE KEYBOARD IS USELESS. There is no realistic way around this.Second- the Escape key is a tiny hard to find thing and will mock you as you search for it in your angriest of moments. Fear not, the mouse still works fine after you put the keyboard on the garbage disposal. (but the keyboard is not replaceable, soooo you would do well to see if someone only needs a mouse and start from scratch after giving the mouse to someone in need)

Great Keyboard
I received this today and was ready to use it immediately! Set up was easy but instructions were not clear. Since I already had a wireless keyboard and mouse, I knew what to do.The wireless keyboard that came with my desktop had already lost the lettering on many keys and what I typed was not represented accurately.Already, I can see that I don't have to worry that what I type will look like a newly created word.This keyboard is quiet, sturdy, typing is accurate. The mouse is bigger than my last one but it fits better in my hand and is also accurate. I haven't used them for gaming so I can't comment on that. I am very pleased with this purchase, esp since it is a Microsoft product and I know it will last long time and the lettering will not be erased with use.I like that I can elevate or use the keyboard flat.This is a good value for the money...the price is right.

Great value and performance with one huge defect
I love this keyboard/mouse combo. It's very competitively priced, and it works flawlessly. I've had it for a little over a month and I use it in combination with my laptop and a desktop monitor, and it's the best system I've ever had. The keys are soft and a bit clicky, very easy to type on and very responsive. The mouse is precise and easy to use as well. The one HUGE problem I'm having with it is that about a week after I started using it, the battery cover on the mouse started popping out and the mouse would stop working. You would think that by it being on a flat surface it would keep the cover shut but it doesn't. The first two or three times I would pop it back on and keep working, but it kept happening more often. I thought it was broken but I checked it and realized it's not; it just doesn't seem to "click" shut and keeps opening. I thought of returning it but instead turned to the ultimate man tool - duct tape. A tiny strip of duct tape in the just the right spot did the trick (see my photos). It's not cute but it works. Again, this may have been a defect in my unit but it looks like a design flaw in the product. Other than that, I'm really enjoying this purchase.

Works great
It comes with the batteries so you don’t need to buy them. I didn’t realize that so I bought batteries but it’s fine - my fault for not reading the contents. My remote controls around the house were thankful. Mouse and keyboard work great.

Excellent buy at a discounted price
I bought this combo after returning another set made by another company that was erratic and undependable. I am very pleased with the performance of this keyboard and mouse. They are responsive, easy to install, smooth and dependable. They were on sale at a price that was less than the off brand.I recommend this wireless keyboard and mouse set.

Why did I waste money on the other brands?
I had a Microsoft keyboard mouse combo in the past and it finally died after 12 years of heavy use. I replaced it with another company is popular, and found out that was a big mistake. The other company lasted 2 months and I has having problems with communication to the keyboard, replaced batteries 4 times in 2 months, and was only getting two weeks from the batteries. Annoyed with the battery problem, so I switched back to Microsoft pack, and all problems, and communication issues gone. Will stay with this in the future instead of wasting money on the other brands.

A Good-Enough Keyboard / Mouse Combo but Lacking Some Key Features
The keyboard and mouse combo are comfortable to use, absolutely trivial to set up, and a nice layout including microsoft specific keys. I love that I only need to take up 1 USB port for both keyboard and mouse.It's a relatively inexpensive and good-enough combo, but lacks some features that would make it great: 1) it is not backlit, 2) there is no switch to turn it off to save the battery when it is not being used, and 3) there are no caps lock or num lock lights to indicate that they are turned on or not. Supposedly there is a low-battery indicator, but since I have fresh batteries, I don' know what that will look like.So if you are satisfied without those items, then you will be satisfied with this combo.
