I am only giving an 8 as when I first tried this using the USB connection the mouse would only move up/down. This may be down to my computer but my old belkin worked no problem with USB. Will try again later and report back if it works.
The keyboard is flat, only way to put it. But it has a nice smooth action and is nice to type with. The layout is a little weird as they have tried to squeeze the keys together a bit more, I dare say I will get used to this though.
Hotkeys work ok with this prog: http://www.gentoo-portage.com/x11-misc/hotkeys
Needs some tweeking if you don't use mozilla (like me)
Connecting is a fiddle, you have to press the button on the reciever, then on the mouse, wait 20 secs, then do the same with the keyboard. Seems a bit of an overly complicated system to me, but it is working no problem after my first attempt.
This was £25 from Dixons in town, and seems to be a nice little setup. The shop also offered the £40 M$ kit, but said they were unsure if it would work with Linux as I had mentioned this to them. Seen as this was much less expensive I went for this and am quite happy with it.
