AE500412 Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Combo Review: 2.4G Ergonomic Set
For the past few weeks, I’ve been putting the AE500412 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo through its paces. This 2.4GHz wireless set promises ergonomics, convenience, and long battery life – all without the hassle of Bluetooth pairing. Let’s see if it delivers.
The AE500412 boasts several interesting features. The integrated phone holder is a clever addition, allowing for easy access to notifications without interrupting workflow. The palm rest is comfortable and definitely helps during extended typing sessions. The three DPI settings (800/1200/1600) on the mouse offer good flexibility for different tasks. The advertised quiet keys are indeed noticeably quieter than many standard keyboards, a plus for shared workspaces or late-night use.

The 2.4GHz connection proved reliable throughout testing, with no noticeable lag or dropouts even at the edge of its 30-foot range. The keyboard typing experience is smooth and comfortable, aided by the palm rest. The mouse is responsive and the adjustable DPI settings are easy to switch between. The advertised battery life seems accurate; after several weeks of moderate use, neither the keyboard nor mouse showed any signs of needing a charge. The quiet keys are a definite win, making this setup ideal for shared office environments or home use where noise is a concern.
However, the phone holder, while a nice idea, feels a little flimsy. It securely holds smaller phones, but larger devices feel somewhat unstable. Also, while the keys are quiet, they lack the tactile feedback some users may prefer. The overall build quality feels decent for the price point but isn’t exceptionally premium.
Pros:
- Reliable 2.4GHz connection
- Comfortable palm rest
- Adjustable DPI mouse
- Quiet keys
- Long battery life
- Convenient phone holder
Cons:
- Flimsy phone holder
- Lack of tactile feedback on keys
- Build quality could be improved
Overall, the AE500412 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo is a solid budget-friendly option. The long battery life and reliable performance make it a practical choice for everyday use. While the phone holder and key feedback aren’t perfect, the overall package provides good value for its price. I would recommend this combo to those seeking a quiet, comfortable, and long-lasting wireless keyboard and mouse set for everyday computing.
