 Wonderful November 7, 2008
Very well made. Keyboard is solid. Great feel. Easy setup. Mouse is a bit too low profile and not the most comfortable for me, but it is designed to be portable. Great idea to have the number pad detachable. I tested the mouse at 20 feet away and it still works great. If you use your your HDTV as a monitor, and the HDTV is far from the computer, this mouse/keyboard combination is a must. If you are just looking for a small high quality portable keyboard (or you don't have loads of desk space), this keyboard beats any of the small keyboards out there.
Also, I have a wireless b/g network and there have been no interference problems.
I will probably buy a second keyboard.
nice keyboard October 31, 2008
The keyboard doesn't have the 10-key keyboard on it so it is just the right length for short-armed persons, especially me. It works by battery so it doesn't have any lights which means you don't know when you're in the CAPS mode, but I can live without that knowing that my arm doesn't have to be stretched to use a mouse.
The mouse didn't work right and the battery cover didn't stay closed. I gave up on it and used my old mouse. I sure am glad that I was able to use my wired mouse with the new keyboard.
It has a wireless 10 key keypad but I don't use it. No light on it either.
Perfect fit! October 22, 2008
This setup replaced a Gyration keyboard/mouse combo on a Media Center PC (the mouse battery life was down to a few minutes and the keyboard was always a little mushy for my taste.)
The build quality is quite good, and the footprint is perfect for my needs. The keyboard feels a lot like a good laptop keyboard...shallow yet solid action. The only gripe I have is with the layout of the CTRL, Windows, ALT, and Apple keys to the left of the space bar. The inclusion of the Apple key forces the others to be skinnier than usual, which is forcing me to look when I need the CTRL and ALT keys.
The mouse is nice, and I could really get used to the ball they've used instead of the typical mouse wheel. It's the perfect control if you deal with documents or web pages that require horizontal scrolling in addition to the usual vertical scrolling.
Near-perfect touch-typing; combines function, form and dual platform versatility September 28, 2008

At this price point one might expect out-of-the box plug-in convenience, but ordered set had defective USB receiver. Help phone was 'no longer in operation', online FAQ remedy required a third hand, and email contact was needlessly frustrating. But once the problem was pinned down to the 'dongle' (after several wasted hours), the entire unit was replaced ... turned out to be well worth the aggravation.
The key that ejects a CD/DVD in either Mac or PC mode from the Mac's sealed optical drive alone makes up for some (as yet) unrecognized combination keystrokes. As are the shaped and lively keys, the elegantly functional graphited chrome design, and the non-sliding metal case (far preferable to Apple's chicklets pasted on fancy plastic). If your needs are for a multibutton multimedia form-over-function control center, rather than a functional office typewriter, then this isn't for you. Conversely, if you want just a solid office tool without bells and whistles, then the SlimBlade is a rewarding choice. Adding to the cord-free keyboard are the laterally scrolling mouse wheel for spreadsheets, the removable numeric keypad, and wireless operation. [The also detachable remote media control unit is a $20 option.]
Although a 5-star performer, with lightly sculpted touch-typing (rather than flat slippery) keys and the delightful ability to switch painlessly between Mac and Win operation, the keyboard falls short in some lesser areas: "Caps Lock" ought to have an integral LED to show it has been struck unintentionally (rather than the 'a'-key); not all keyboard shortcuts are recognized--even with the Mac-driver installed--notably the strokes that use modifiers (alt/option, Ctrl, shift) with a command key (eg, shift-Cmd-F to preset Mac's search dialog to filename detection), or Ctrl-Eject to bing up the logoff dialog for Mac.
Note: I haven't yet fully tested the Micosoft 'Office' for Win shortcuts--thus far they seem to do the trick. I anticipate broader multi-key shortcut compliance in a version 2 driver release.
 wonderful keyboard, bad mouse September 12, 2008
keyboard looks great, really. All of my friends said "looks good and color also great." and work really fine.
problem is mouse. I hate mouse. it looks good also but, wheel is too small and I use wheel click a lot (which is same funtion as Control+left buttton click) but there is not wheel click funtion.
I'm using Vista and I installed driver for using keyboard hot key
but If I install then hot key is work fine but I get problem with ms word
Zoom short key is not working!!!! (control+wheel up/down)
so I unintalled driver, cuz I am using more ms word zoom short key more than keyboard hot key.
I'm gonna use only keyboard and get the other mouse!!
