CHERRYDW 9500 SLIM, Wireless Desktop Set, UK Layout (QWERTY), Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz Wireless Connection, Ergonomic Right-Handed Mouse, Black-Grey

Nicely packed and looks and feels great.It looks light, but it is a good and sturdy piece of kit.The magnetic strip eases the keyboard slightly higher and comfortable to work with.The mouse feels great.So easy to connect, less than 90 seconds.Swith on the BT button, pair and voila. All revved up and ready to go.

The Keyboard misses keystrokes, the mouse misses motion.Moving the mouse at a constant speed, the pointer will stop periodicallyI type quicker than the keyboard detects keystrokes, key strokes are missed.Using BT improves the missing keystrokes, but the mouse move detection is dire still, this might be the surface I'm using, but it's a standard desk, this shouldn't be an issue.Using the RF dongle, reception is terrible, every 1 in 5 keystrokes are missed.Great design and I'd have loved to have used them both, but missing keystrokes and mouse input is a deal breaker.

Fantastic keyboard and mouse. Real weight in both with high quality finish, feel and fit. Packaging a delight - nice for Cherry to have presented this so well.

A review from the wife... The keyboard is a very flat design. It has a magnetic riser that you can attach to the back at the top of the keyboard. Despite being made by Cherry the keys on this are flat chiclet style keys, with not much ride to them however they are efficient and work well enough for typing. The buttons are quiet which is a very positive feature for me. I would have liked the riser to be more adjustable or of slightly more height for a more comfortable typing position.The mouse has an ergonomic design to it and is easy and responsive to manoeuvre. The buttons on the top have a fairly firm click to them which takes some getting used to. For day to day admin use, this works great.The battery of both lasts for a full week without recharging.Set-up however was problematic. I tried to pair both the keyboard and mouse to my desktop and laptop and neither worked. Windows found them and apparently paired, but neither worked. Fortunately Cherry also supply a 2.4ghz wireless USB dongle which requires no set-up and worked out of the box.

I've been using this keyboard and mouse for a few weeks. At first, no issues. I have not spilt anything on this keyboard so not sure why suddenly the keystrokes aren't all too responsive. It's also not usty .There is one letter in partilcular that keeps being misse out an me having to ensure i apply extra pressure to it.Incase you haven't guessed that letter is "d" an for the purpose of this review i have decided not to go correct it when it plays up. Shame because at first i really love this set. I have had no issues with the mouse and infact it's the comfiest mouse i have ever used. It fits in the palm of my hand perfectly an the spee of the cursor can be changed easily by pressing the button above the scroll wheel. Very responsive.The battery life of both keyboard and mouse is excellent, i've not had to charge the keyboard yet in over 3 weeks of using this set an the mouse just two times an i am a very heavy user. Had this review been on the mouse it' of been a 5 star. However the keyboard is getting rather annoying an i feel i will likely be reverting back to my older much cheaper keyboard soon. Shame.

A tail of two halves.And two connections.First, you can use this by connecting a dongle, or via a Bluetooth connection. Both work.Both halves have internal rechargeable batteries that are charged by a USB C cable, one is provided.This is a relatively expensive combination. I don't doubt the claims for battery life -- but I haven't had this combo long enough to exhaust their charge.The mouse is very good for the larger hand, as a man I really like the bigger sizing. The mouse ergonomically curves and is slanted there is plenty of space for my thumb and a rest for it. My thumb then sits under the two back and forward buttons on the side of the mouse, which in smaller mice I've found it easy to catch these side buttons inadvertently, which then backs or forwards your browser, and if you are in the process of writing a review for Amazon, this can be catastrophic.The Mouse then functions well in every other respect, with positive feeling button presses, and smooth scroll wheel.The Keyboard is less successful.This is a membrane keyboard, and is well made. It feels weight and solid, and has good feedback for this type with very quiet operation.It is not however, at least new from the box, an experience twice as good as similar membrane keyboards costing half the price.It may well outlast them, but I can't know that.And personally I prefer a mechanical Keyboard for typing, and an option for back lighting.I am not convinced by the magnetic foot bar that lifts the keyboard to an angle for typing, it stays in place when in use, but less effectively if you move the keyboard around, and surely the reason for a wireless keyboard is that it can be so moved?It's also another thing to find a home for - if for example you were using this keyboard without the bar on occasion.The traditional folding feet are then self stowing, and are there when you wish to use them.The most important issue I have with this half of the pair, is that I received a German layout QWERTZ, not UK QWERTY, and while I have typed this review using this device, I have already encountered some differences in use, beside the Z and Y swap..., meaning I would have to relearn which keys correspond to the correct symbols - if I were to want to use this Keyboard.And so this one will be going back in the box.As good as the mouse is - and I would recommend this wireless mouse independently of the Keyboard, even if I had receives as promised, a UK layout, I think I'd still find this Keyboard compromised at this price point, so good but falling short of great in terms of the design and features offered.

Paying 120 EUR for a wireless keyboard and mouse, I would expect flawless performance - It's by no means cheap. It's not the case. It's missing buttons, you have to switch from BT to RF from time to time because of the interference (I guess, and I really don't have many wireless devices in house) or it doesn't work at all.Ergonomics are great, looks as well, but it doesn't matter if it's not working. If all you do is watching netflix, you won't feel a thing. But playing is a nightmare - you can forget anything competitive. Not competitive too for that matter, because what, will you be enjoying any game knowing that keyboard will (not can, WILL) do random stuff at random times?That's how it ends, if all the resources for product development you spend on looks and marketing. It's a scam, I wish I got a refund on this. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRETTY PIECE OF CRAP!
