Keyboard and Mouse: Does this mean it ships without one or the other?

It does not ship with a keyboard or mouse. We separately ordered an Asus branded Eee Keyboard and Mouse set for wireless via USB. Also available in black, the following is the white set we ordered: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Wireless-Eee-Keyboard-Mouse/dp/B002RL8TPS/ref=pd_cp_e_1

the keyboard and the mouse run on the same USB connector. You do not need another to connect either.

Pretty sure you can use both, but I'd save some time and just NOT buy the keyboard. It's awful.

Mine came with a keyboard and mouse but this surprised me as I thought it was only the "box".

I am actually looking for just the keyboard by itself too and I believe the "for Business" version doesn't include the mouse. I searched Microsoft site for the 5KV-00001 model and description doesn't mention the included mouse like in the retail L5V-0001 model. Maybe that is why it is cheaper.

Thrulow unit I bought came without keyboard as expected. If nothing is mentioned you cannot assume it will come with a keyboard.

Actually it does not. Some older machines may need it for the mouse and keyboard but the newer ones seem to have no problems.

I didn't get the keyboard. I got the mouse, the mouse is worth the cost, but it also isn't a hundred bucks... I can''t speak for the keyboard. I am currently using the steelseries gaming keyboard, with the dedicated gaming zone on the left. It is pretty nice. It took some getting used to. Mostly because there are duplicates of many of the keys and everything is kind of jammed together. I like it now though.

Just received. It does come with keyboard and mouse. Sadly I now have two of both since it wasn't stated.

Of you buy the mouse and keyboard set, they will come with one transceiver. If you buy the noise and keyboard separately, you will have to use both transceivers. They are not interchangeable.

"As a plus, keyboard and mouse are included" is mentioned in the description in fine print. However, we did return this computer as we wanted one with Windows 7 (which we searched by), but this one has Windows 8.

This depends on who is selling and what they choose to include. You need to read the listing, but this computer works with any standard USB keyboard and mouse, so it doesn't matter, really.

Anker offers the mouse and keyboard as a combo for $30 on Amazon, and there is ONE USB key that receives from BOTH. I'd bet that if you got the items individually, only one receiver would be necessary.

Yes, the mouse and keyboard are included. No printed manual or recovery discs are included.

I had the same type situation. I did have another keyboard with usb and have mice of both kinds, so had no problem.

You're right, a USB mouse and keyboard can usually be connected on a single port via a hub or wireless adapter. Perhaps separate connections are required to support the virtual mouse and keyboard features.

The keyboard & mouse are included. Windows 8 doesn't seem to affect gameplay.
