It seems today everyone is going wireless.This is also true for keyboards and mice.This article will review the Micro Innovations Wireless Internet Keyboard and Optical Mouse.We will discuss the pros and cons of the keyboard and mouse.The author will also give her opinion on the experience of using the Micro Innovations Wireless Internet Keyboard and Optical Mouse.

A wireless mouse and keyboard can be a real convenience to have.It allows you to get rid of the clutter of several cords and cables on your desk. The Micro Innovations Wireless Internet Keyboard and Optical Mouse offers just this feature. The Micro Innovations Wireless Internet Keyboard and Optical Mouse are sold at Walmart for $24.95.This wasn't a bad price for a wireless set.I have seen some go for as much as $75.00. Cheap doesn't always mean better so I was a little concerned when I purchased them.I figured though since it was only $24.95 I wouldn't be out to much,and if I didn't like them my daughter could use the set.

Once I got the Micro Innovations Wireless Internet Keyboard and Optical Mouse home, I read the instructions for installing the batteries and hooking the keyboard and mouse to the computer. The batteries were easy to install.There was no tools needed,you just had to slide the cover off and place the batteries inside.Next you had to plug the sensor unit into a usb slot on the back of your computer.Then start your computer and see if it finds the new pieces.Sure enough upon starting the system it had found the Micro Innovations Wireless Internet Keyboard and Optical Mouse. If by chance the computer had not found them there were instructions to load the drivers from the included CD.

For the price this is a decent set. I, how ever, have had nothing but problems with mine. Holding down keys to back space or type several letters in a row, or the arrow keys to scroll up and down rarely works, even when the receiver unit is an inch or so away from the keyboard it sometimes misses key presses, and for some characters getting a capital letter or an exclimation point is more an attempt to happen to press the same buttons at precisely the same time. Half the time I end up just pressing the caps lock button, which means I have to turn it off, which also means an extra keystroke. this is all assuming it even registers that i pressed a letter key at all. There are other problems as well. Maybe it is just with my set, but personally I would not recommend

I just bought it from Walmart for 29.95$. But I found that the range is not great. 10 feet would be acceptable range for a wireless keyboard and mouse. However, this one is more close to 4ft. I don't know if it is due to some interference or I need to do some tuneup somewhere.

Great reveiw. I had a wireless keyboard but it didn't work during bootup. Sounds like an excellent product though.

Good info. I have an optical mouse but don't need it with my touchpad. Someday we will go wireless in my house.

I love my wireless mouse. I don't have to worry about pulling it to far away from the computer and ruining the cord. Great review.

Go wireless! Great tips.

Sounds very useful. My desk is filled with lots of wires and I'm always having to tug on the mouse cord to get it to move around properly because it often gets stuck behind the desk. This sounds like a good investment that I will definitely look into. Thanks for the info.
