Reviews of the Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000
-
CNET Review
The Good: Impressive list of customizable features; receiver connects to keyboard and mouse combo.
The Bad: Difficult to adjust to curved design; removable feet easily misplaced; narrowly-shaped mouse hard to grip.
The Bottom Line: The Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 is a solid keyboard and mouse combination with a bevy of customizable buttons that make it a no-brainer to use with a home theater PC, but the asymmetrical button layout on the keyboard requires time to learn. If you're looking for a more ergonomic desktop set and willing to put in a little work, the Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 will serve you well.
