Trust Taro - UK Wired Set

This full-size keyboard and mouse combo offers a UK QWERTY layout, spill-resistant design, and quiet operation to enhance your productivity without disrupting colleagues. Review: Excellent value keyboard and mouse - A very reasonably priced keyboard and mouse combo set. Even better if you can grab it on offer - currently showing as £16.99! This is my second purchase of a Trust keyboard and mouse combo set and I have no complaints. SETUP Getting setup is straightforward. Simply plug in the USB receiver to your computer's USB port. KEYBOARD FEATURES The layout is your typical UK QWERTY. The £, $, and @ keys are in the right places. There is also a € symbol available by pressing CTRL + ALT + 4. The keyboard keys are fairly quiet and create a lot less noise than my previous keyboard that it has replaced - a fairly old Microsoft wireless desktop 800 keyboard and mouse combo set. Though I would say they are not completely silent. The ENTER key is a decent size. And there is a separate numeric key pad on the right hand size. There's also a Fn key placed to the right of the SPACE bar that you normally find on laptop keyboards. This is used with the Function keys. More on this later. The keyboard has an on/off switch is very useful. It also has the usual lights for Number Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock. Underneath the keyboard is the cover for the battery compartment. The keyboard uses 2 AAA batteries required that come included and makes things easy. There's also the usual keyboard legs that you can flip out to raise the height or adjust the angle. The marketing blurb states the keyboard is spill resistant but not something I tested! Finally, there's also a slot to store the USB receiver which will be useful to some. MEDIA KEYS / HOT KEYS One thing to note is the keyboard's function keys (F1-F12) are set to to Hot key functionality by default. If you wish to use F1-F12 functionality, you need to hold down the Fn key. This may not suit everyone so gladly you can reverse this by simply pressing: Fn + TAB This is not easily apparent in the user manual and they could do better to explain this as I noted a few reviews not knowing this. I reached out to customer support and they were very quick in responding with an answer. MOUSE The mouse works reasonably well for my purposes but is slightly less in length so may not suit larger hands for all day use. It has the usual LEFT and RIGHT mouse buttons which work as expected. There's a scroll wheel that is also clickable but not fully silent. A DPI button sits down from the scroll wheel. Clicking this will allow you to switch between 800 and 1600 DPI as you need. Underneath the mouse has a useful on/off switch to save battery life. Also underneath is the battery compartment which takes 1AA battery and comes supplied. Inside the battery compartment there is also a handy slot to store the USB receiver. SUMMARY Overall, for the price this is a great value keyboard and mouse combo set. I can easily recommend this and certainly recommend Trust as a brand I will continue to buy. Review: Good value set - Happy with these, the keyboard feels nice and works well, the mouse is decent quality as well. Been using then for about a month now.
