Dell KM636-BK-US Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Combo (580-ADTY), Black

I'm typing with it and so far, so good. I'm glad at least one other reviewer mentioned an on/off switch, because there was absolutely nothing about it in the quick start guide. Shame on you Dell! How hard would it have been to include the line "Don't forget to turn it on" with a little picture of the switch? It was only after I discovered that it wasn't working and after fiddling with the batteries that I remembered reading something about an on/off switch. Also, a light to warn that cap-lock is on was something that was important to me. There is a light, but it wasn't where I was expecting it, which is on the caps-lock button, which is where it make sense. The tiny light is on the upper, right-hand corner, so you have to look for it. Not the ideal place, but at least it has one. Otherwise, I like the feel of the keyboard very much. I've never used the new, curved ergonomic keyboards, and I have enough trouble with my typing to take a chance on something so different, so I'm happy with this nice, simple, old-fashioned keyboard.

THE KEYBOARD: I really like this keyboard so far. What is important to me is that it gets every character! I have tried two keyboards before this one and both dropped letters, especially when typing fast. This one does not! Also, it is easy to push the keys, which was apparently a concern for users of another Dell keyboard model. As for the physical type, they are like Macbook keys but a bit taller. It has actual lights for the Scroll Lock, Num Lock, and Caps Lock where as I have not found another wireless model to do this. To sum up, this is an all-around good keyboard.THE MOUSE: The mouse is good so far. Its shape is a little weird (doesn’t quite fit my hand the way I was used too). I believe I will have no problem once fully used to it. The cursor movement is solid with no jitter. I had this problem with another mouse.OVERALL (KEEPING IT SHORT): For those looking for a new wireless keyboard and mouse combo, I highly suggest this one. It has solid performance and great keys if you like Macbook style.

The keyboards themselves have great key response so long as the receiver is in range. A few of these were to be used in Conference and Training rooms where the computers are a good 20 feet away or so. The receivers do not work well with distance. For the ones installed at user stations, they work flawlessly so long as you don't put the receiver in a USB hub. Granted many users will just have these directly in a computer USB port and close up they will work great in the majority of setups.Bottom Line: Don't purchase if you need range or use a USB hub. For a normal setup they are top notch.

Don't let the word "DELL" fool you - this is really a Logitech keyboard and mouse with Dell markings. As such, it works great. I mean, Logitech is one of the best keyboard and mouse manufacturers out there. This keyboard types well for me but others may not like it. The feeling of the keys is somewhere in-between a laptop keyboard and a standard keyboard - the strokes are relatively short but crisp. One thing I do not like is that the keyboard is not adjustable in height - it's fixed. Mouse works well but is otherwise a standard mouse. Comes with a low-profile USB receiver/antenna (I'm assuming its bluetooth, but I'm unsure). Both the mouse and keyboard have on/off switches but they turn off automatically after a period of no-use. If you want/need a no-frills keyboard and mouse combo, this is the right package for the price.

I am in love with this keyboard and mouse. The key feedback is great. The chiclet design makes it super simple to type quietly and efficiently. Less error when typing compared to standard keys. The only small issue is that the keyboard is not incline adjustable. It's a fixed incline although the angle is very low and I haven't experienced any pain using it like that even after being used to a flat keyboard. The mouse is also great. Fits in the palm nicely and is shaped so you don't get hand cramps always trying to hold on to the mouse. I've found that with other big name combos similar to this. Also it's very, very difficult to find a keyboard that is wireless and has the inidicator lights for number lock, caps lock and scroll lock. What gives?! But this keyboard has that and it's great. Keyboard is smart to turn off the indicator lights to preserve battery when they keyboard is on but a key hasn't been pressed in a while. Wakes up quickly as soon as you start typing; no lag or missed entries. Mouse is the same, goes to sleep when not using and comes back on when you move it. Fantastic feature that both of the devices turn off when the computer source shuts down. Don't be worried if the indicator lights don't turn on when you turn on the keyboard; they keyboard has to be connected to a computer that is on for them to illuminate. Great feature in case you leave the keyboard switched on and shove it a backpack or bag. I love this keyboard combo and would definitely buy it again. Nicely done Dell and Logitech. Bought 2! One for work and one for home!Update 4/23/16I continue to love this keyboard endlessly! I am going to buy a third one for my father for Father's Day! Please never discontinue this keyboard combo Dell!
