Conclusion:

As a whole, the Rosewill RKM-800RF wireless keyboard and mouse combo is a decent, solid performer. In a very crowded field of contenders, it doesn’t really stand out, and doesn’t draw attention to itself, but it performs admirably. If you are a hard-core gamer, or if you have large hands like me, you might want to try it before committing to the RKM-800RF. For 95% of the use of a keyboard and mouse, and for probably 90% of the population, the RKM-800RF will do the job. If you’re using a wired keyboard and mouse, and are tired of ‘doing the mouse hop,’ you should put this on the list to check out.



There are a handful of positive items to consider regarding this keyboard and mouse combo, and the few negatives may all be a matter of personal preference. In addition to the small size, people may also want to consider that the USB receiver is rather small and may be easy to lose, and that the keyboard features no media controls.

The Rosewill RKM-800RF has a MSRP of $40 according to their website. The item seems to be available only at Newegg.com and ChiefValue.com, and both websites list the RKM-800RF for $34.99 as of the day this review was published.

All things considered, the Rosewill RKM-800RF wireless keyboard and mouse combo earns the Bigbruin.com "Good Value" award.
