Wow! What can I say? Wow! If I were going to develop a paraphilia, it'd be for these two products :)
First, the mouse: ergonomic, comfy as all hell, the scroll wheel is smooth and accurate and, it rocks from side-to-side for sideways scrolling.
Keyboard: it's got an identical scroll wheel off to the left side along with forward and back page navigation buttons.
The key feel is wonderful, firm but not harsh. There's a nice, lightly padded wrist rest built in that fits and feels great.
Up until now, I've not been a fan of lots of extra buttons on keyboards, but this time someone did it right. Five assignable buttons for adding urls; press one et voila! There's your page! Nice media control buttons. Plenty of extras, including one which invokes calculator.
Setup was painless but MS did botch the product registration, trying to force you to obtain a Passport before you can register. And if you've got small hands, these might not be good for you.
All in all, it's the best money company's spent on computer accessories in a long time ;)
