 The mouse is the problem June 29, 2008

I like the keyboard, it looks and works good although it is a tad bit big, but the mouse goes through batteries very quickly. It's too bad because it is pretty smooth when it is running.

Creative's superb product. Wireless keyboard and mouse. Works perfectly. Best results even while using with chargeable batteries. Keyboard keeps its battery life beyond 60 days, if using daily and mouse keeps battery life upto 45 days if used daily. Indeed a very professional gadget. Recommendable to everyone who likes quality products. Cheers !!
 Solid feel, decent range October 29, 2007

I installed the wireless 8000 today. The only thing I had to consult the documentation for was the process of establishing the connection - the default worked, but it seemed to want reassurance- Push the button on the receiver, then on the mouse to set the channel; then do the same with the keyboard. Once I did that, everything was happy.
The mouse button and the keyboard keys are stiffer than I am accustom to; hope this does not bode ill for the ol' carpal tunnels. But the mouse works from farther away than I can see the screen, so no complaints there.
The One-Touch keys behave as expected. They seem to be lower on the priority stack - it can take a few tenths of a second to pause Media PLayer, for example. I have not installed the software that came with the thing, so I don't know if there is a way to move the interrupt request higher on the priority. All around, a decent keyboard and mouse. I'll just push a little harder than I used to.
 Great in the beginning, but wait a few months and see what happens. December 17, 2006

I bought this Creative wireless keyboard/mouse sometime in 2005. At first I thought it was great. I was able to go across the house and the keyboard and mouse were still able to transmit through all of the walls! I was very impressed.
I was moving to India for awhile and I took my computer with me. Around June of 2006 the keyboard decided not to work anymore. The mouse still worked. I thought maybe it was just because I was in India and a lot of electronics (for some unknown reason)would suddenly stop working. My boyfriend works in the computer industry and he couldn't figure out what the problem was. The computer stores in India didn't have much of a selection, but I needed a keyboard so I bought the Creative Desktop Wireless 9000 Pro (comes with mouse and keyboard). The same thing happened! At first it was working fine and I could walk across the house and still transmit through the walls. I moved back to California and my mouse stopped working in November 2006. Hmmm, no living in India excuse there! I replaced the wireless mouse with an attached-wire mouse. It's December now and my wireless keyboard will randomly stop working. I have to unplug and plug in the USB cable to get the keyboard to work again for a few hours. Then I have to repeat the process. In fact, I just had to do that right now while typing this review.
I give it 2 stars because I really like the wireless features(I hate cables dangling everywhere) and it transmits a good distance. I think I must have bad computer juju. Or maybe the Creative wireless keyboards/mice are crap. It could be both reasons. Either way, I'm NOT going to buy anymore Creative wireless computer components.
Decent. Mouse has limited range. August 9, 2005

I am satisfied, especially for the price, with this purchase. My one complaint is that the mouse requires a pad, and it has very limited range from the receiver before it doesn't work well.
