Microsoft Wired Desktop 600

2-in-1 class office peripheral kit

The Microsoft Wired Desktop 600 Kit consists of a wired keyboard and mouse. This is the simplest, but at the same time reliable business-class equipment that will not fail after a couple of months of operation and will not fail at a crucial moment. It's not for nothing that Microsoft, along with Dell and HP, is one of the leaders in the business-class peripherals market.

Membrane keyboard with low key travel

In terms of form factor, the Desktop 600's keyboard is a simple working membrane-type keyboard with low key travel, standard layout (ANSI) and a full Numpad. The case is made of durable matte plastic and in general leaves a feeling of a reliable, tightly assembled thing. Membrane switches operate with medium force, quickly return to their place and are moderately noisy when pressed. To control the player, volume and other multimedia functions, there are several dedicated keys on top. Despite its simplicity, the keyboard leaves behind a persistent aftertaste of universal classic peripherals, on which you can work and play. In the end, and in the late 90s and early 2000s, admins in most computer clubs bought just such kits.

Comfortable mouse with a symmetrical design

Now let's talk about the Desktop 600 mouse. Firstly, it has a symmetrical shape and no side buttons, so it is equally convenient to control it with both left and right hands. In terms of weight and dimensions, the case is close to ideal. The scroll wheel turned out to be quite large, the button switch mechanism clearly responds to pressing and does not click too loudly. The optical sensor is quite primitive (sensitivity 800 DPI), so you should not expect high responsiveness from it on varnished surfaces, glass or chair upholstery.
