By Ben (reevoo.com) Read the full review

Great looking, rechargeable mouse with docking cradle, works well with good distance fromthe recaiver. Battery life seems good so far

None as yet, far better than the 5000 I had before which wasn't half as good

I found the keyboard I had missed keystrokes. The mouse went to sleep quickly as well when inactive, requiring a delay before movement could be resumed ; After changing the battery on the keyboard, it ceased operating at all

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 7000 review

By Chris Hall (pocket-lint.com)

Sometimes it is too easy to overlook Microsoft as an peripheral supplier. We look at their Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 7000. Starting with the wireless aspect, it is a standard 2.4GHz wireless setup, with a USB dongle. The dongle slots neatly into...

Left- or right-handed, good size, plenty of buttons, Flip 3D

Dongle doesn’t sit flush in base of mouse

Compact in design, but large enough to be your everyday mouse, the Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 7000 has plenty of features to meet your mousey needs

The problem with some notebook mice is that they are too small – great for saving space in the bag, but too small when you settle down to do some real work once at your destination. This mouse doesn’t suffer from that problem and sits neatly into the...

Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 Review

By Michelle Thatcher (cnet.co.uk)

Ergonomic keyboard and mouse

Easy-to-adjust keyboard height and angle ; split keyboard design with raised centre makes for comfortable typing ; programmable quick-launch keys cut down on mousing ; unique mouse design keeps wrist at a neutral angle

Keys and scroll wheel offer too much resistance for ultimate comfort ; mouse is right-handed only ; inconvenient thumb-button placement

Though it may not offer much relief from clinical repetitive stress injuries, the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 will satisfy users who want a slightly more comfortable keyboard and mouse than the one that came with their computer

Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 7000

By Ardjuna Seghers (trustedreviews.com)

As usual, Microsoft puts together a good bit of kit. But is it good enough to beat the competition?

Standing on its own, the black and chrome Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 7000 is a very desirable piece of kit, and design-wise makes the perfect partner for those considering Samsung's T-range monitors with its transparent outer surround.

Microsoft Entertainment Desktop 7000 review

By (techradar.com)

Microsoft has clearly thought about the needs of the media PC user when designing this set. It's made sure that good quality and ease of use are placed alongside great build quality and a host of features.

The keyboard uses Bluetooth rather than the standard infrared connectivity, which means that range is fantastic

Great build quality ; Good value for money ; Bluetooth connectivity ; Lots of features

The build quality of both items is what you might expect from a set that costs around £80, but if your media PC is the hub of home entertainment then the Entertainment Desktop 7000 is worth every penny

The Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 7000 is a pleasure to use

Comfortable to use ; Feels great ; Shortcut keys help

Pricey for some

All round a really nice desktop set, then. The price (around £70 or so online) might put some off, but really, if you find yourself typing away at your PC for long hours, this is a worthwhile investment

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 7000 review

By Dan Ackerman (cnet.co.uk)

If it were bigger, the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 7000 could be a regular desktop mouse, which makes it easy to use, but not the best for easy travelling

USB receiver snaps into base ; Ambidextrous design ; Two thumb buttons ; Four-way scroll wheel

Fairly big for a laptop mouse ; USB receiver doesn't sit flush when stored in base

Unlike many of the other laptop mice we've seen, this model includes welcome side buttons for your thumb on the left and right sides, which most Web browsers recognise as the universal command for going back a page. You also get a feature almost never...

Well built but with quirks.

I bought this set around a week ago.

Excellent Keyboard, mouse takes a bit of getting used to

As a long time "Natural" keyboard user with preceding versions from Microsoft and Trust over the past 4 years giving me a very real respect for these.

This is the successor of Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (quickfind code: 97577) which I have used for almost two years.
