The top has a scroll wheel that seems loose – it wobbles a bit. The sides are textured for easy grip, and the top is one large plate that can be clicked left or right for the L/R mouse buttons. This is a largeish mouse, with decent heft, and of course no tail. Next up, lets take a closer look at the mouse. I ran without any such software for more then a week without trouble. If you must have some feedback on the state of your locks, you’ll need to use some software to show it on your desktop.
It does have one LED, which when lit means your battery is low. The keyboard does not have any indicator LEDs for the state of the various lock keys (ie, NumLock, Caps, Scrl…) which makes sense for a battery powered keyboard. The integrated wrist-rest, subtle curving of the keyboard, and rounding off of the bottom row of keys makes for a very comfortable typing experience. First off, you need to hit the small blue F Lock key once to lock in the Fn Key behavior, instead of the menu shortcuts.Īnd again, for comparison, a typical 101-key keyboard: The tiny Esc/Fn Chiclet keys really take some getting used to. Also, those extra keys on the left are under my left pinkie (which used to pretty much hug the left edge of the standard keyboard I usually use) so that took a bit getting used to. That’s not a bad thing, it’s just a difference. I don’t even touch-type in the standard way… I’m one of those four-finger-programmer/touch typists!) but to me the basic keys feel more like a high end “desktop replacement” laptop keyboard. The keyboard keys themselves are in a standard layout/spacing, with perhaps a tad shorter travel then a normal keyboard.

You can that there’s a bank of special keys to the left of the standard left edge keys, a bank of “task” keys across the top, and a row of funky dual-purpose function key/menu short keys where you would normally find full sized Fn keys. There’s a detailed look at the left side of the keyboard. Tourįirst let’s take a closer look at the keyboard and mouse.
#MICROSOFT WIRELESS KEYBOARD 2000 MANUAL INSTALL#
If you want to customize the keyboard, you’ll need to install the drivers (Mac/XP) or some extra software for Linux – I’ll come back to that later. Setup consists of inserting the batteries and then plugging in the small USB dongle. If like me you misplace that CD, the drivers are downloadable from Microsoft’s website. In other words you’ll find the keyboard, mouse, USB dongle, 4 AA batteries, and the CD with Windows/Mac drivers.

Using a backup driver system helps you to rollback any driver to the previous version if a problem arises.The intro photo above shows the contents of the box less the CD, which I somehow managed to lose within minutes.
