Customer reviews
Quiet, comfortable keyboard 
by .. Glen W. (Greenland, NH)
I was only looking for the keyboard but couldn't find it without the set. This review is for the keyboard only since I haven't tried the mouse and don't plan to. I'm quite happy with the mouse I already have.
I have used this keyboard for only 2 weeks. This is a first impressions review, not a long-term one.
I am a programmer by profession and my Dell keyboard was getting old, noisy and needed increasingly more pressure on the keys. After doing personal research in several stores (Best Buy, Office Depot, etc) I decided that this was the keyboard. I purchased it on Amazon from tech_for_less_inc and was quite happy to pay 1/2 the price of the stores and receive my product with no troubles.
The winner for me on this keyboard are the keys themselves. They are very quiet compared to many other keyboards and require less pressure also. As expected, the layout is full-sized QWERTY so no issues there. Other nice features are the low profile and the NEXT/BACK buttons that you can use by shifting your pinky finger over when using the web browser. I don't use the other buttons too much but I can say that they are set up in a logical and aesthetically pleasnig fashion that doesn't get in the way of normal typing operation.
I have a few cons to speak of. None are all that irritating but worth mentioning. (1) I have yet to find any application in which I can use the scroll button on the left. Supposedly it lets you scroll in things like documents and web pages but it doesn't seem to work for me. (2) The "log off" button at the top left of the keyboard is useful to log all the way out of your user account (i.e. on Windows, such as what I use here at work). I had different expectations though, as I thought it would take me to the screen which allows me to switch users, not log me off completely. (3) Again, the log off button: it is a little close to the ESC key. I use the VI editor where the ESC key is used a lot. A few times now I have hit the log off button by mistake instead of the ESC key. I anticipate that with a bit more practice, this won't be an issue any more.
Despite the cons, I give this 5 stars because it met or exceeded the expectations that are important to me for picking out a keyboard.
It Could Have Been A Best 
by .. ColorOrange (Virginia)
Since I already had a wireless mouse, I never used this mouse, and therefore can't rate it. The PilotBoard's best feature is the quiet and soft touch keys. The other features on the keyboard worked okay when I test it but I never use them. My only disappointment is that the driver had to be installed to take advantage of the on screen caplock, numlock, and scrollock features. It worked well in Excel, but not in Word. There was interference with the wireless that my computer would often freeze. I had never had this experience before the keyboard. I decided to take it back because I didn't want to take a chance in losing a typed report. I'm considering purchasing the corded version of the Pilot Board.
Great board by .. C. Ladrido ()
Nice board. I like the colors and the style and how the buttons push down.
keyboard is funky (not in a good way) 
by .. Chandler Moss (Austin, TX)
This keyboard skips letters when I'm typing. Then I have to go back and add in missing letters-its frustrating! The keyboard doesn't seem to be sensitive enough to the pressure of my typing. If I type hard it even skips letters sometimes. It was easy enough to install, the mouse works great, and the function buttons on the keyboard are cool. I like my other wireless keyboard, my logitech one, it never skips letters.
Great Mouse, Poor Keyboard by .. David C. Brayton (Healdsburg, CA United States)
Note that I have used this on my Mac.
I don't use the keyboard anymore because the keys require too much pressure (or as one reviewer noted, it skips letters). It is incredibly frustrating to look at your work and see a dozen places where Word is telling me I have typos.
When I first got this, I exchanged it for a new one because I thought the keyboard was defective. Not so. The keyboard requires the finesse of a gorilla.
I really like the layout of the keyboard and the hot keys across the top. I especially like the keys for changing font between bold, italic, etc.
One note: the volume control knob changes the system volume, not the volume of iTunes alone. I'd prefer that the knob change only the volume of iTunes and not everything else.
The mouse is wonderful. I use it with my left hand and it is very comfortable. I was using it on my bare desk but I purchased a $3 laser mouse pad and it really improved the tracking.
Installation and set up were a breeze.
