I was initially hesitant to buy a name-brand keyboard/mouse combo but was pleasantly surprised when I brought it home. Exceptional build quality, key comfort and cost made me not doubt my purchase. Thank you Insignia.

HP - C2600 Keyboard and Optical Mouse - Black
Control your workstation with this HP C2600 j2x04aa#aba keyboard and mouse, which together provide tools for greater productivity, such as a number pad for quick calculations and a contoured mouse design for comfort. The optical mouse has 3 buttons and a scroll wheel for precision control.
Really quite poor
Customer Rating

So first of all, the keyboard is missing two really important LEDs--the one that tell you that CAPS LOCK is on and one that tell you if NUM LOCK is one. It's frustrating to constantly have to check. Also, the mouse has a hard time picking up movements. I had to replace it soon after. Huge lit-down, esp coming from a name brand.

I had to replace my D-Link router due to it constantly dropping and having needing to reset almost daily--and yes, I did update the firmware. I bought this Linksys and have not had a problem since.

Not so great

This dongle is on the pricier side, so I was expecting top-notch performance. I've had a number of times where the connection would look digitized, too much latency, lost connection and even failure too connect. For competing with something as reliable as the Google Chromecast, it really has a hard time competing.

I am very pleased with my purchase. This sound bar sounds great. I couldn't figure how set up audio cords, so I used 3.5mm jack and have no issues.

Let's face it, I'd always prefer an OEM product than a third-party product. But seriously, there's other products out there that do the same thing for less money. 4-Stars for being too costly.

Very high quality product that no other product can compare to. A great companion to use instead of a mouse.

A Solid Match For My Surface Pro 3

First of all I absolutely LOVE Best Buy, so having a Best Buy-colored keyboard for my perfect tablet is a match made in heaven. No joke, Navy Blue is my favorite color so this was a natural selection for me.
PROs:
*A perfect fit for the Surface Pro 3 (matches the design and overall ascetics of the device).
*Backlit keys. This is an invaluable feature as the majority of my work is done in dimly-lit environments. Although this feature also comes at a disadvantage too (see CONs list below).
*Huge improvement on the trackpad from previous versions. It allows for less friction and more area to get work with--a huge plus.
*Doesn't require charging or a battery which is a huge plus unlike Bluetooth keyboards.

CONs:
*A bit on the pricey side. While backlit keys are indeed a premium feature on ANY keyboard, this thin keyboard shouldn't really be $130, $89 or $99 would be much more reasonable. You can buy tablets and even a Chromebook for the price of this product. Generally speaking, it feels a little on the cheap side too.
*Light bleed. Unlike the touch cover, there is significant light bleed between the keys. I would have much better preferred this light bleed be taken away seeing as though this was a third iteration of this product.
*Felt on the bottom is susceptible to dirt and staining easily.
*I would have also like a magnetic closure to make it more secure during transport.

Overall impressions:
This product is a must for any Surface Pro 3, especially of you aim to get any element of productivity from it. While I think it is priced on the high side, I think offering users different colors is nice, I would have like some additional features such as magnetic closure and elimination of the heavy light bleeding from between the keys.

I would still recommend this product although it does have it's flaws, so I cannot give it a 5.

What's great about it: Backlit keys, Doesn't feel cheap to type on
What's not so great: Fingerprint oil shows quickly on keys, felt bottom soils easily
The first thing you need to realize is that this is a mobile keyboard. Thus, it doesn't feel rock solid while typing on your lap like a traditional laptop. With that being said, the keystroke quality is noticeable especially compared to low-end keyboards, especially those found on Chromebooks. While there is heavy lightbleed of the keys, using a backlit keyboard is a wonderful experience especially in a dimly lit environment. The mangets are strong and have never had an issue with unresponsiveness. This device compliments the Surface perfectly.
