I don't think it's any surprise you guys are opening stores up. This kind of baby along with the sexy mouses are pretty nice looking.

Nice keybaord, but we seem to be going backward in our use of Bluetooth. Why, oh why do we keep having these dongles that are not Bluetooth? My Presenter Mouse 8000 is exactly right: Bluetooth with a configuration free Bluetooth dongle provded. If I have no Bluetooth on the PC I use the dongle, if the PC has Bluetooth it doesn't need it and I save an annoying sticky out thing, it works as expected and I have a precious USB port free.

Minor rant over :-)

good point Martin though I suspect this is aiming for the widest audience and price point.

i've had less than great experiences qith Bluetooth Mice/Keybds in the past but have to say my 8000 Entertainment Desktop is brilliant

I started using the Wirless Desktop 7000 this week which includes this keybaord.

Its just a real pleasure to use. It really feels like a premuim quality peice of kit. The actual texture of the keys is really nice and the shortcuts quickly become essential.

The mouse is light and responsive, I cant fault it really.

The only thing I would wish for is bluetooth capability as I will be using this keyboard with the PS3 as well. I can still plug the dongle into the PS3, but its already limited to two USB ports.

Overall its an amazing package, my best purchase so far this year!
