Review: BenQ x805 Wireless Desktop Companion

So my gift to myself for Christmas was this BenQ Wireless keyboard and mouse. This is not the pro version, only the standard.

Keyboard
The keyboard is very slick. It is clam shape, silver with black keys. It uses BenQ's X-Structure Key Technology which is a patented technology that provides a more solid feel when typing. It gives a satisfying click when typing. I really like the design the only thing is that there are no indicator light if the Caps Lock is on. This is probably due to operating on batteries and wanting them to last long.

Mouse
The mouse has an 800 DPI precision. It works well except that it had problems tracking on my desk surface. My other mouse (Microsoft) did not have this problem. I've had no problem using it normally except when playing World of Warcraft. I don't know why, but it keeps bugging while playing. Everything is fine until it just stops sending information. When I play, I now use my old mouse but keep the wireless keyboard as it does not have any problems.

Range
The range is not superb, about 3 feet. It's ok if you only want to get rid of the wires (like me) but if you intend on using it at longer range, I believe the pro version will run at a range of 7 feet.

Verdict
It's a good product, it works as intended. The mouse is a bit touchy but normally works well. The range can be a problem for some of you, but for me, it's really ok.
