Microsoft Optical Desktop Elite for Bluetooth

Unlike most wireless desktop products, the Microsoft Optical Desktop Elite for Bluetooth does not use the same method to connect to the computer. Instead it uses Bluetooth technology, which allows for more secure communication of more data at once.

In theory, a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse will have a more stable connection which is less likely to interfere with televisions, radios or other home electronics.

In practice, it's slightly more complicated. With standard wireless desktop sets, you can just plug in the supplied communications box and go. This one requires you to install the software first, because otherwise the computer won't understand the Bluetooth signal.

Configuring the keyboard and mouse is easy, with the software taking you through the steps, and they work well after that. The keyboard has nice, deep, chunky keys and the odd-shaped mouse turns out to be surprisingly comfortable once you get used to it. A USB Bluetooth adapter is also supplied, which means you can also connect other Bluetooth devices to your PC.

Changing the Bluetooth adapter's USB port or drivers might stop both keyboard and mouse from working, so we suggest that you keep a backup keyboard and mouse.
