I thought this would be a nice starter for the computer I built until I could save up for a better set: boy, was I wrong. I had to switch out the keyboard with an old wired one after 2 days of using it because the lag on the keyboard was just too much to handle. Half the time it wouldn't even register key presses. Just a disaster. The mouse was fine, or so I thought, until about two weeks in and now it hardly registers movement. It jumps around the screen, just a laggy mess. I've changed the batteries and tried using it on different surfaces but nothing helps. The only way I've been getting temporary relief is by turning it off for a minute or two and turning it back on. Within 5 minutes it's back again. I turn the mouse off when the computer is not in use, as well, so I'm completely stumped. When it started happening, I figured it was because I was playing a video game and the computer was just overwhelmed, but nope, it happens when I'm just browsing the internet, as well. Maybe it's because I'm out of the signal range, but the mouse and keyboard were about a foot away from the usb connector, so if that's the case, it's not worth getting in the first place. Hoping to return this and get a wired keyboard/mouse, because this has turned me off of wireless completely.
