Microsoft has been in the input devices game since the early 1980s. From the first chunky, wired Microsoft mouse to the modern design of the Bluetooth Desktop, they've done a lot in the area. Today, the Designer Bluetooth Desktop takes a minimalistic approach to both the keyboard and mouse.

We all know that manufacturers typically focus on making their ‘hero' devices as glamourous as possible, but Microsoft's decided to spread the love, sprinkling some stardust on its Bluetooth keyboard and mouse set. Costing £99, it comprises a mighty attractive keyboard and mouse combo.

Excellent build quality and design; Keyboard includes number pad; Good battery life; Windows; OS X and Android

Small mouse; Limited features

Not much to say, but it beats trying to poke a small screen.

I would recommend it to anyone who wanted a simple, elegant keyboard mouse set for a computer with bluetooth built-in and for whom replaceable batteries are acceptable. Probably an especially good choice as an alternative to Apple keyboards on a newish iMac -- good design, compact, but with a more...

The design is simple and elegant; The mouse is somewhat flat; The keyboard is full-size, but pretty small for a keyboard in that category-- not at all bulky as some are; This is a Bluetooth 4.0 product and so uses a low-power protocol enabled in 4.0.

The keyboard is not backlit, which some rechargeable bluetooth keyboards are; This keyboard has replaceable batteries; This is a Bluetooth 4.0 product; There's no bluetooth dongle included.

I bought this mouse to go with my new laptop. as soon as i realised the computer had bluetooth, it made sense to have a bt mouse so I don't have another dongle to lose. The setup take seconds with a few clicks and a button press, turning on & off is a single button press, button and scroll-wheel...

Arrived in a couple of days…

I really like this mouse by its design only to find out it does not work on win 7 after using it on my win 10 for a while. Really a disappointment. No trust for Microsoft products.

I bought this a few days ago and I am going to return it because every time I turn my computer on I have to re-pair it with my computer in order for it to work, or when my computer goes idle i have to go through the whole process again. Its too much. I would rather just have a chord. No fuss.

Was disappointed it didn't work with my older bluetooth adapter so I had to order a new bluetooth adapter. After new adapter arrived it paired no problem, and I have begun using it for my desktop. It also worked no problem pairing to my nexus tablet right out of the box.

Works with Bluetooth 4; neat magnetic battery compartment

lower hump takes getting used to; It did not work with my old bluetooth adapter v 2 or 3

Great looking keyboard and Mouse, does not come with BT dongle, apparently it supose to work with laptop or other mobile devices with Bluetooth built in. Was purchased for our National Sales Manager that asked for it. has that same setup at home and he loves it.
