Here's a question for you. How much would you pay for a keyboard and mouse set? In days gone by, you might be tempted to stretch to £50 or £60, perhaps, assuming the right combination of ...
This is excellent hardware, undoubtedly, but for the majority of us, a leather-effect keyboard and mouse set isn't enough to part us from £120. Shopping around can get you almost as good for a healthy amount less.

This combo keyboard and mouse set gives you plenty of customization options and a comfortable typing experience.

Microsoft’s Wireless Optical Desktop Elite is a solid and affordable choice for the home or the office.

We'd generally consider £44 a reasonably hefty lay-out for a keyboard, but the 6000 is worth it.
Expert review by : Hardware Zone (hardwarezone.com)
It’s very hard not to like the Wireless Desktop Elite set from Microsoft. For a set of input device, the comfort level and build quality is truly top notch. Well, for an eye-popping price tag nearly touching the S$170 mark, anything less than the...

Excellent design, innovative and practical features, but you have to pay for it.

Enhanced Optical Technology, Nice Color/Design, Longer Battery Life, Tilt Wheel
Pricey, No Natural Edition
With the Microsoft Optical Desktop Elite for Bluetooth, Microsoft utilizes this cutting-edge technology in its updated hardware products with a blast. The keyboard is perfect for those who like a ton of customizable hotkeys and/or use multimedia...
