The most "natural" ergonomic keyboard
Pros: Features, Design, Battery Life
Cons: longevity
I have used the Wave combo for a couple of years and am still smitten with it. The size, shape, and positioning of the keys are the most natural of any keyboard I've typed on--as comfortable as that other "natural" keyboard, but far easier to adjust to.
The mouse, for me, strikes the perfect balance of ergonomics and grip. Some mice might be more ergonomic in terms of how they fit to the hand, but I often have difficulty actually using and moving those mice.
The Wave keyboard does seem to lack a bit of resilience over the long-term... I have noticed a few keys becoming slightly stubborn to press, and although two years of frequent use is nothing to complain about, I've had more durable keyboards. For me, though, the keyboard is good enough to risk having to replace every 2-3 years.
Others have complained about connectivity issues, and I had experienced similar issues in the past, but have since worked it out. Getting the USB receiver away from my desktop chassis (using the supplied extension cable) helped considerably, as did adjusting my wifi setup slightly--a combination of changing the wifi channel used and placement of devices. (Some might complain that that's too much effort, that wireless devices should just "work"... but wireless technology is science, not magic. It has its limitations.)
I can't begin to recommend this combo enough. I have recommended it to several friends, none of whom have regretted their choice.
