This product is amazing!!!
By V. Fink
I wanted a new mouse and keyboard, and when I saw this package I was intrigued by the fingerprint reader. And skeptical too. Like the title of my review says though, it's amazing. The fingerprint reader was so easy to set up and works like a dream. If you're like most internet users, with an ever-growing list of logins and passwords, then I promise you'll love this feature. The keyboard itself is very comfortable and has lots of cool features, like easily programmable 'favorites' buttons for launching commonly used programs, and other buttons that I wasn't expecting that were a great bounus: like My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, Mail, Web/Home, Messenger, Calculator, and more. Also buttons for controlling speaker volume and media playback. The wireless optical mouse that's included is great -- also easy to set up, fast and smooth cursor control, good scroll wheel with tilt feature for horizontal scrolling. I have average to smaller hands and the mouse fits me perfectly. If you have large hands you may find it a little small.Overall, I highly recommend this optical desktop package.

Too many passwords - saves time
By Tony Sabini
I saw a prior review which said they couldn't install it and gave it only one star. I have enjoyed using this product since I got it a few weeks ago so I thought I'd add my two cents. I have a bunch of passwords and different username - maybe 15 or so. Basically with this keyboard, whenever you hit a logon you just press your finger flat on the red sensor - then, the first time it asks for your username/password, but after that it types them in for you for that website. Nothing earthshattering, but it does make life simpiler, and it wasn't any more expensive than any other keyboard/mouse setup. It installed quick and so far has worked everytime. I do have a few minor issues - first, there doesn't seem to be any way to backup the data. Second, I bought one for my computer at work but the fingerprint reader can't be used to log on to a domain (or unlock the screensaver when connected to a domain). This is unfortunate since I wanted to use it on my work PC too. Nonetheless I will give the product five stars - it isn't too often that Microsoft is an innovator - a few refinements are needed, but I think they are on to something. It is a cool product, and the fingerprint technology seems fast and accurate.

It's the bomb!!!
By PAC
Seems most of the complaints have been by techies because the fingerprint reader doesn't work with non Microsoft internet browsers but for me with MS Internet Explorer it has worked perfectly. I have a ton of sites I go to from online banking to email to instant messaging (probably over 10 in all) and the reader works like a charm! The only comments I have (which aren't necessarily disadvantages) are the following:-The fingerprint reader takes about 2-3 seconds to read your fingerprint. It doesn't really need to be cleaned that often either like one reviewer stated but maybe it does if you have dirty fingers lol-the keys on the keyboard seem a little closer together but I have noticed this on all the Microsoft keyboards I have tried. Maybe its just a matter of getting use to the difference.-The keyboard is wired and the mouse is wireless. Each uses its own USB port, 2 in all.-Lastly the fingerprint reader stays lit all the time so if you leave your computer on at night like I do you will definitely notice the red glow.All I gotta say is try it out, you just might like it!
