Soon, im going to buy a new desktop pc and i want to buy a wireless mouse and keyboard set. Anyone got any suggestions of what one i should buy. I want one for quite cheap. maybe less than £80 sterling

Get something that's Logitech: http://www.logitech.co.uk/ they have really good keyboards and mice, if you can try and get a mouse that's rechargable, ie one that sits in a dock.

They're quite good.

Yeah, MX3000 it's great, I have it too.

The mouse lasts months with the same batteries

MX5000 is good too but it's imho the same as the MX3000 only it has useless features like a little LCD screen and a lot more expensive

I logitech mice, because of the tactile feel of the scroll wheel, yet i just like Microsoft keyboards. It's up to you but I haven't had any problems with my wireless logitech.

Thanks everyone, i think i'm gonna go with the MX3000

wireless keyboards typically dont have that range...

Because there's less 'clutter' and you can get up and move away form the computer if you need to and i find it just a lot more practicle.

Well that proves my point a bit more. Why have a wireless keyboard at all. Imho wireless sucks

I find my wireless keyboard very convenient.
I usually move my keyboard to the bed, which is right next to my computer, and I can do my homeworks or eat and browse at the same time.
Also, I can use my keyboard from my bed if I want to feel the warmth of my blanket and use the computer.

Less cables, less clutter.

However, I found wireless mouse useless.
I think rechargeable wireless mouse will be a good buy in a long term but pricey (/me thinks he contradicts himself. Hehe.. ).
My Logitech wireless mouse batteries lasted no longer than 4 months. So I bought a cheap wired mouse, and I'm happy with it.
My real point is: if you want to get a wireless mouse, get the rechargeable one. If you think it's expensive, just get the wired one

With wireless mouses, if they have a dock i find you're usually alright. But i agree, they eat batteries for breakfast.
