Overall we are left with generally positive impressions of the Enermax Briskie wireless keyboard and mouse bundle. We would definitely say that the mouse is better than the keyboard as the keyboard really isn't well suited to typing and seems to have been designed to be inexpensive and attractive without much care for function.
The large flat keys are quite unresponsive and hinder fast typing. To be honest, we would be much happier using a laptop keyboard.
The mouse is a more attractive proposition as it performs exactly as you would expect. The only slight drawback is the lack of browser forward and back buttons which would be more appropriate than a DPI switch for most customers.
The build quality of both products is acceptable considering the price point but Enermax certainly haven't fulfilled our expectations considering their wide range of quality enthusiast products.
Both the keyboard and mouse will suffice for a basic desktop or multimedia system though and the wireless connectivity will be a major selling point for many users. It is worth bearing in mind that this is a budget bundle and neither the keyboard or mouse are rechargeable, though, so you will have to refill them both with batteries every so often.
One of the most important factors to consider is the price of the bundle which is actually quite reasonable. The bundle can be yours for the reasonable sum of £16 at systo.co.uk which makes it perfect for those looking for a low cost wireless keyboard and mouse solution.
We are a little surprised that Enermax have released this budget product however as they are generally associated with quality, enthusiast grade components.
Pros:
- Good value.
- Wireless connectivity.
- Adjustable mouse sensitivity.
Cons
- Average build quality.
- Substandard keyboard.
