Looking for a classy way to upgrade your desktop? Meet Microsoft's Designer Bluetooth Desktop combo, a wireless keyboard and mouse that looks sleek, slick and incredibly thin. Microsoft's hardware design chops are usually on point, but have they succeeded in making a great combination for your desk?

Microsoft has been in the input devices game since the early 1980s. From the first chunky, wired Microsoft mouse to the modern design of the Bluetooth Desktop, they've done a lot in the area. Today, the Designer Bluetooth Desktop takes a minimalistic approach to both the keyboard and mouse.

We all know that manufacturers typically focus on making their ‘hero' devices as glamourous as possible, but Microsoft's decided to spread the love, sprinkling some stardust on its Bluetooth keyboard and mouse set. Costing ￡99, it comprises a mighty attractive keyboard and mouse combo.

Excellent build quality and design; Good battery life; Keyboard includes number pad; Windows; OS X and Android

Small mouse; Limited features

I bought the mouse within the past 6 months and have had several issues with this one. The mouse would randomly shut off and when turned back on, it would go into pairing mode, instead of connecting. Using it the other day and the track wheel somehow broke.

I really like this mouse by its design only to find out it does not work on win 7 after using it on my win 10 for a while. Really a disappointment. No trust for Microsoft products.

Not much to say, but it beats trying to poke a small screen.

I use on OS X and the mouse and keyboard have an in-built sleep function that is nothing but problematic. Once it does wake up, there's often a delay from hitting a key/moving the mouse. Virtually unusable. For the price, I should have bought Apple. Would have taken back only I lost the receipt.

I bought this a few days ago and I am going to return it because every time I turn my computer on I have to re-pair it with my computer in order for it to work, or when my computer goes idle i have to go through the whole process again. Its too much. I would rather just have a chord. No fuss.

Very glitchy and keeps disconnecting and big delay

Looks nice, but has a bug with all the media keys that causes the keyboard to freeze. Bug has existed since May with no fix from Microsoft in sight. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware/media-keys-doesnt-work-on-microsoft-design/15021270-fd88-4dac-b2b7-0b54afe2c12d
