you get a excellent mouse with a decent keyboard . consider the price of the mouse itself , this be a great value . however , I be not impress with the quality of the keyboard . the key feel cheap , and the action be unimpressive . for my taste , the keyboard be much too `` soft '' and feel flimsy . the optical mouse , however , be a must-have item . the precision of a optical laser be fantastic , and microsoft really do make the best optical mouse out there -lrb- although other be cheaper -rrb- . the scroll wheel be extremeley useful , and the mouse feel great in you hand . if you need a keyboard and a mouse , this combo be a good value . but if you already have a acceptable keyboard , I would recommend buy the mouse alone .
