KitGuru says: In regards to the mouse we feel that for the price there is nothing really to complain about but also nothing to shout about. It is basic and that is what you would expect for the price, it gets the job done and there are no problems with the build quality or functionality. You usually get what you pay for; however, I would say that the keyboard is extraordinary for the price. Compared to other high end keyboards it stands up tall. We would comfortably say that this one really shocked us with its tactile switches and keys as well as its tech and functionality.
