Page 1 of Wireless keyboard & mouse recommendations?

Hi - I`m after a decent wireless keyboard and wireless optical scroll mouse on a budget of hopefully around £20 (Staples?) but am willing to pay a bit more if necessary.

Any recommendations?

Thanks a lot.

I use a nice silver and black wireless keyboard and optical scroll mouse by Medion from Aldi.

Current cost....£14.99

Highly Recommended!

I`ve just put that keyboard and mouse on the kids PC last week too. I bought it last year, then their PC went kaputt, not long after, so never got round to using it, until we`ve just got them a new PC recently (I think it was £20 when I got it).

The only downside is battery life, but they do have a light to tell you when they`re running down. I got a cordless keyboard and mouse with my Medion PC, and wasn`t fussed on the ball type mouse it came with, so use a corded keyboard, and Logitech MX700 rechargable, optical mouse....no flat batteries as it recharges from it`s base station when not in use.

It really is the business, but a bit pricey (about £40 now), they also do a keyboard and mouse version for around £80 if you can stretch to it. They are really good, and no replacing batteries too. :)

But for a budget one, that Medion Optical set is really good too. :)

I picked up one from Asda Black and Silver "mi micro innovations" for around £18, just before Christmas, able to cope with fast typing. The last one I had from Supergdrug went back immediately as it was useless.

I think, the Micro is excellent value for money and only just changed the batteries in the mouse last week.

Thanks all - I had a quick look in Dixons yesterday - saw the black/silver one mentioned for £20 and like the multimedia & windows quick function buttons that some of them have...Does anyone know how well they work compared to the official Microsoft wireless keyboards?

It arrived and is a fantastic bit of kit... the mouse just sits in its cradle charging when not in use!

When you had our Pc delivered was there a 10% off offer with it? If so its worth a look at the site...

Regards, Mark.

I`m using logitech MX duo myself - if not mistaken the same as the one Dell is selling

one of the best cordless I`ve used so far, no problems with batteries since its rechargeable
as for keyboard it uses 2 aaa batteries which I dont need to change since I bought it.

anyway I bought it off ebay for £50
should get it cheaper now
