    I just bought this keyboard and mouse combo and it seems ok. The mouse is nice, tracks well, good weight and feel for me. The keyboard is ok. The only 2 things that are wierd is this:

    1.) There is no power button on the mouse or keyboard. What gives? Hopefully it has a power save feature? Does the mouse and keyboard go into standby if not used for a while?

    2.) The craziest thing is that that when I put the keyboard on my table it teeters back and fourth a bit. So I thought that maybe my table was not level, so I moved the keyboard to another flat surface that is level, and the keyboard did the same thing. So the keyboard is not level :confused: :rolleyes: I had to put a little plastic card under it to prevent it from rocking back and fourth. Does anybody else have this problem?
