Rapoo 8900p Advanced Wireless Mouse And Keyboard Combo

- Tom Brant

Mechanical keyboards are (usually) very comfortable for typing, but many of them are marketed toward gamers—so they often feature multicolored lighting, sculpted sides, and other design accoutrements that some might find gaudy. If you prefer clean, svelte design cues for your peripherals, you’ll want to take a look instead at the sleek lines of non-mechanical high-end wireless keyboards and mice such as such as the Rapoo 8900P Advanced Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Combo, which not only looks great on your desk but also keeps it free of tangled wires. Unfortunately, though, the the 8900P’s keyboard doesn’t offer a very comfortable typing experience.

EXTREMELY FLAT KEYBOARD

Rapoo is a Chinese peripherals manufacturer that burst onto the North American scene a few years ago. You won’t find their products at Best Buy (except in Canada) or other mainstream brick and mortar stores, however. And it can be difficult to determine whether you’re getting a good deal on a Rapoo product on the internet, since the company doesn’t list prices or sell anything on its US website. The 8900P, for instance, is currently selling for $79.80 at Amazon, and a company spokesperson quoted that price as what you should expect to pay. It’s high enough to cement the combo’s position at the premium end of the peripherals market but low enough that you may be willing to overlook some of the 8900P’s flaws, especially if you don’t type frequently and are just looking to improve the appearance of your desk.
