 Excellent Keyboard (with Practice) June 23, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This boxed set is definitely a good buy -- the keyboard alone is worth the money, getting a digital mouse and a headset are icing on the cake.
The keyboard takes a little getting used to. First off, it's got a set of 34 keys on the left side, slightly angled. The number keys and arrows keys are combined into one set to make room, which can make things tricky if you've gotten used to having a standard 10-key pad at your right hand. The arrangement of the Insert and Delete keys are a little off, and the keypad includes some functions you don't normally see (like cut/copy/paste, and keys for minimizing and closing windows).
A smaller row of buttons along the top give access to the key-map editor, as well as control over your resident media player, and three extra buttons to customize to whatever you want.
When it comes to playing games, however, the left-hand keys really shine. The slight angling helps somewhat, and it's possible to navigate the pad by feel. The included software has key-mappings for a broad spectrum of games, and creating and editing these mappings is very easy. Once you play around with it a little, you'll find yourself making new keymaps for every game you have installed. Whenever you have a keymap active, a light activates just over the number pad to let you know.
The mouse is fairly straightforward. It has a clickable scroll-wheel between the two buttons, and a fourth button just behind that whose function (if any) I've been unable to determine.
The headset could stand a little improvement. It's a behind-the-head design, which puts its weight on your ears. The sound quality is good, and the microphone does an adequate job when positioned properly, but long-term wear might make your ears hurt. (I also wear ill-fitting glasses, so this pain might be from the two combined.)

This product was a gift for my brother. I think he will enjoy it. It appears to be good condition, and it looks like it will last long, even though my brother is kind of a rough player.
Good keyboard for gaming. December 19, 2008

I only bought this because I needed a keyboard. Saw this pack for $19.99 so I had to pick it up. I would rather have a wireless keyboard though but it was a bargain. Don't get me wrong, its a great product.
The Merc Keyboard
Great for FPS games. I bought it because I still play Counter-Strike and thought "hey, why not kill 3 birds with one stone?"
The Mouse
The quality of the mouse is questionable. It feels too light and it is slim.
The Headset
This thing is worth about $5-10 at the most. The design is little bit uncomfortable. Never liked behind the head headsets. I have a big head (I wear 7 3/4 New Era fitted hats - thats 61 cm around) but it fits. The sound quality i cheap but what do you expect? The only good thing is the mic: you can adjust it.
I wouldn't buy this for amazon's price but for $20 it was a steal.
Nice Keyboard plus freebies... August 3, 2008

The keyboard is nice with the added extras for only a few dollars more. If you are a semi-serious gamer, unless you need a spare mouse and a headset I would shoot for just the keyboard. The mouse has some nice features (slim design, nice size and shape, three total but two functional dpi settings (300 is worthless)with the click of a button) but as far as construction goes is pretty cheap. Although you can adjust the sensitivity in-game it doesn't make up for the basic configuration (lack of side buttons extremely light weight)and anoying ridge around the buttons. This is quite awkward as far as mice go. The headset is pretty cheaply constructed but if a behind the neck headset with mike is your thing it will suit you just fine as long as you don't have too big a head. For lack of no other option this is a good kit but for the "Gamer" stick with just the keyboard unless you need some backup hardware in the event of an emergency or for your laptop bag (my use for them). If you are looking for a good mouse to pair with the keyboard then the Ideazon Reaper edge Ideazon Reaper Edge Gaming Mouse - 3200 DPI precision laser gaming mouse "Rocks" as an addition to your arsenal. Most software issues can be resolved using the updated version from the website.
