After Meal Gossip www.yenjai.net

Even after seeing all my friends converted to wireless mouse, I procrastinated as I was not sure of its benefit.

Few weeks ago, there was a deal on Groupon: A set of wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse, sharing the same receiver. That seemed to be an excellent idea, as I would be able to ‘reclaim’ a USB port. Yeah. I ordered it.

After I unpacked the keyboard and the mouse, now …..eh? Where the heck was the wireless receiver?

I went through the packaging three times. There just wasn’t a red receiver as indicated on the box. Called up the number listed on the Pos Laju receipt: Mr, err… where is the receiver?

Damn. It was slotted under the mouse!

See that empty hole under the mouse? Really make a fool of myself

Anyway, I liked the mouse immediately. It felt so … liberating, without the wire, which limited the place where I could place the mouse.

It was slightly larger and heavier than my previous mouse, as it would have to accommodate the battery, though it was negligible.

I could not say the same thing about this keyboard though. The key just felt … wrong! I guess it had to do with the curvature of the keyboard. My previous Logitech keyboard felt so much more … natural. Now I am giving myself a week to get use to this keyboard. If I still feel awkward after a week with it, I may well switch back to my Logitech. Never realise the curvature on a keyboard play such an important role.
