Summary

Nothing Special

The Odyssey Internet Multimedia Keyboard Mouse is a wired optical mouse and a multimedia keyboard combo.

The keyboard has a standard layout, and the keys don’t offer good feedback. It has multimedia keys to control your browser and other multimedia applications, though funnily, the volume controls are placed near the directional arrow keys. The keyboard comes with a detachable palm rest, but attaching the palm rest takes some doing, while removing it is just downright painful.

The mouse is a PS2 mouse, so tracking is nowhere as smooth as high-end gaming mice, or even USB ones. The mouse is sturdy though, and has a glowing blue scroll wheel that has a good feel, but not enough feedback when scrolling.

The shape of the mouse is actually pretty comfortable to use, and bumping the refresh rate to 200 cycles a second improves the performance a tad.

At Rs 400, this keyboard-mouse combo is dirt cheap. Unfortunately, that’s all it has going for it. Bottom line? An acceptable keyboard but a terrible mouse.
