Type notes and input data comfortably with this Microsoft Wireless Desktop keyboard, which features a 30' wireless range, quiet-touch keys and media shortcuts for intuitive control. The included mouse offers simple navigation.
Posted by: T3inLA
I bought this hoping that it would work seamlessly with my Windows 10 based Lenovo 700 25ish, also purchased from Best Buy. This Microsoft combo package immediately created an IRQ value conflict and repeated blue screen of death/forced shutdown in my "easily upgradeable" Lenovo desktop system (emphasis on irony as nothing in the desktop is easily upgradeable) which resulted in a day of me restoring my computer and losing a week of work. It seems like the dongle forces the keyboard connection through a resource path that is in use by other system items and corrupted the kbdclass.sys driver, and the frequency of the dongle also seems to be perfect for messing with the wireless network card in the computer.
After restoring my system to the previous week, and manually removing the proprietary Lenovo keyboard driver bloat in my file system and registry, and installing microsoft's mouse and keyboard service software and drivers, the combo worked for about half an hour. On updating Windows as the next step in getting my system right the computer rebooted and - despite working finally before the update - everything went kablooey again. I was ready to through the Keyboard off my third story balcony. Fortunately after.all of.that my insignia USB wired keyboard and kensington Bluetooth iPad keyboard both did work with my computer - so I could research a new wireless keyboard, proving that these problems were all related to the Microsoft 850.
In short, plug this in to a new Lenovo, press a keyboard button, watch everything explode. Useful for taking revenge on Lenovo using enemies I suppose but not what I was hoping for.
Shame because the price is right and the feel/size of the combo is nice. Returned to store the minute it opened the next day. I would not recommend this combo.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
