What it does

A budget full size wireless keyboard and compact mouse that share one 2.4GHz USB receiver. This page covers it in place of the VicTsing 104 key anti splash combo, which had too little readable coverage.

Plug in the small receiver and both pieces work with no software
Spill resistant keyboard with adjustable tilt legs
Eight hotkeys for media, volume and common apps
On and off switches on both keyboard and mouse
Mouse shape works for left or right hand

A sensible pick for a home or office desk that needs a plain, full size wireless keyboard with a number pad and a mouse that just works without drivers. Reviewers agree it types reliably and connects well, but both pieces feel light and cheap, and the keys are louder and mushier than pricier boards.
