Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop for Bluetooth review

Saturday 26 June 2004, 7:15 PM

Mouse faulty for second time in one year


Only one week after I purchased the product the mouse quit working. Re-installing the drivers did not help, suggesting hardware failure. The shop where I bought the stuff exchanged the mouse right away. That solved it....I thought. Until last week, after 11 months of service, the stupid thing stopped working again. Re-installing did not help. I will try to have it exchanged again tomorrow, we should still be in the warranty period.

If I had known all this in advance, I would have chosen for a 'cheap' Trust product. Had that one before, never had any problem with that.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop for Bluetooth

Rating: 6.8
Verdict

Despite some installation glitches and evidence of keyboard driver instability, the Wireless Optical Desktop for Bluetooth is a pleasure to use. Cable clutter is reduced and mobility significantly improved. It’s well worth considering as a replacement for a conventional keyboard and mouse combination, but does not yet provide reliable interoperability with other Bluetooth devices.
