Gaming mouse and keyboard?

Could someone recommend me a decent gaming mouse and keyboard, cheap as possible but good response and accuracy for the mouse? Would prefer wireless if possible! Thanks!

Hi there

I don't think "gaming" and "wireless" go well together to be honest.

With that said and not knowing an exact budget for these two items, I have seen this keyboard,

And this mouse,

Receiving massive recommendations when these type of threads appear.

Thanks for the help, these seem decent! I was looking at this keyboard earlier.

Have recently bought a Razer Blackwidow ultimate and have to say that the difference between a standard membrane keyboard and a mechanical can really be noticed, but that in truth, the Razer only really satisfies me in that it is mechanical. It is not the best mechanical you can buy for the money however. DAS or filco for mechanical (if you don't need the flashy backlit keys) or something like a Microsoft sidewinder (possibly the best membrane keyboard money can buy?). Mice IMHO are purely personal preference. Agreed, wireless aren't as fast as a wired, but then most of the time, only a true pro gamer would ever notice the lag between movement and actuation, especially due to the latest technologies which allow the wirelessmouse to react faster than you can blink. Don't get hung up on the 'more DPI is better' as my mouse maxes out at 3500 and I barely even get the best of 1600. Buttons are another toughie. Do you play mainly MMO (plenty of buttons on the side e.g razer naga for macros) or do you enjoy fps more (need 5 buttons max e.g aim, fire, frag, dpi +/-. Fit and finish come up a lot as I have a friend with a razer deathadder (cheap yet well built and nice ergonomic design) which fits me way better than my other friends Lachesis, Naga, roccat kova, and Cyborg R.A.T 5. Best advice is really to try before you buy. Happy gaming

I've ordered these two thanks for the advice, got the mouse from ocuk on this week only for £27 and the keyboard elsewhere as it was £10 cheaper (sorry ocuk!).
