Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
One wireless receiver for two great accessories: a wireless mini optical mouse and wireless keypad. The first combination of its kind in the marketplace, this set is perfect for financial applications and general use, especially when traveling. On/off switch on both the keypad and the mouse saves power.

1 out of 5 stars Do not buy this product!   July 28, 2008
Do not buy this product. For the high price you pay, you get a terrible product. The range is ridiculously horrible--you have to be within a foot and in direct site of the receiver. The keypad starts to cut in and out and I have to resort to inputting numbers on my laptop directly. I'm putting this back into the box and I hope that the store will let me return it.


1 out of 5 stars Bad Mouse   May 11, 2008
The mouse is almost unusable. You have to push in almost the center of the clicker for it to respond, then it takes a jam instead of a touch, which moves the pointer away from the original target. If it weren't so much trouble I would send it back.


4 out of 5 stars Works well for what it is.   March 30, 2008
I had no problem with using the mouse or the keypad. My only complaint is that when the battery is wearing down, the connection has to be reset (press the button on the usb receiver and then on the keypad) if it goes unused for a while. The mouse is a little small, but for travel it works fine. It was very helpful to have the external num pad when I was using my laptop all the time!


1 out of 5 stars Don't count on it   February 17, 2008
First of all, the user guide warns that the mouse "may" interfere with other wireless devices, and other wireless devices "may" (they will) interfere with it. In troubleshooting, the user guide advises the if the mouse or keypad are intermittent (they are) or stop working (they do), increase the distance between the receiver and base unit (about 3 feet works) and turn off any wireless devices- like your wireless modem, router, telephone, cellphone, bluetooth, basically everything you need to use the laptop in the first place.

OK, now it works. For 2 minutes. Now when it stops working, the user guide suggests resetting the "identification code", which means that you press a button on the receiver, then on the mouse, again on the receiver, then on the keypad.

OK, now it works. For 2 minutes. Repeat all of the above.

And so on for several hours.

Return to store. Get a refund.

Problem solved!



1 out of 5 stars Really crappy merchandise   October 20, 2007
I bought this item. The mouse is flimsy and the release for the battery on the mouse is where you would normally rest your hand; consequently the battery keeps popping out. The keypad is cheesy, feels very cheap. For the price I would not recommend, actually it's not worth $29.99. This purchase burned me from purchasing ANY Targus product.
