Definitely worth the money - highly recommend!
THE POSITIVES:
1) I was taken aback at first by the fact that the keyboard did not have fold-out legs to tilt the keyboard toward the operator. However I soon discovered that the design of the keyboard included a built-in tilt, not as pronounced as my previous keyboard but sufficient, plus the fact that the keyboard sits on four rubber grips vs. two grips and two plastic pegs on the previous board, means it sits solidly on my computer stand and does not slide around when being used.
2) A little message appears in the lower right corner of the screen whenever the keyboard goes to caps on or caps off. Pretty handy.
3) Mouse works on any surface. You can ditch the mouse pad.
4) Keyboard layout (moderate curve) seems to fit my keyboarding style instinctively, and the tactile feedback when keyboarding is positive.
5) Solid build for both keyboard and mouse.
THE NOT-SO-POSITIVES
1) The wireless connection does not have a lot of range. I originally tried it on a front USB port on my computer but it only worked intermittently. I do have one of those multi-port connectors on my desk which I keep connected to a rear computer port, and plugging in the wireless connector into that solved the problem. However when the multi-port connector slid or was bumped toward the back of my computer desk, things would stop working. Once it was positioned back in range, though, everything was fine.
The "F" keys are minuscule. Not an issue for me as I rarely use them, but could be for someone who uses them more often.
BOTTOM LINE
This is a no-nonsense wireless keyboard-mouse combo that does what it it supposed to do. The limited range of the wireless connector is certainly not a deal-breaker, more of a minor annoyance and is one that can be adjusted to pretty quickly. I can't speak to battery life yet, but from what I know so far, I'd certainly recommend this product.
This is way up there. The keys are very nice. They are kind of medium profile. Not super thin like a chicklet style, but not slow and heavy like some membrane keys which require a ton of force to press. Also not an overly squishy feel. Almost seems like they were trying to mimic a mechanical feel--but without the high keys of a mechanical keyboard.
Wrist rest is also nice though would prefer a padded one.
Also like that it's flat. Too many keyboards have downward tilt which makes you feel like you're typing uphill. That's also bad ergonomics. Almost seems like finding a keyboard that is flat is becoming harder and harder.
