Keyboard and mouse

Hi all,

My son has asked for a keyboard and mouse for Christmas. He is a huge minecraft fan and would like a backlit keyboard and a wireless mouse. Any suggestions? It will be his main present so could be expensive for the right ones...

thanks

I suppose £150-200 for both wouldn't be out of the question, possibly a bit more. But they need to be the right ones, and to last

Thanks everyone. What key colour should I be looking at? At the moment he just has a basic £10 keyboard, as I said it is mainly for minecraft, however he is expected to type his homework etc on it.

Thanks all again.

At the weekend I took him to a well known box shifter who used to have purple shirts to try out different keyboards. However they no longer have any gaming keyboards on display, nor will they open a box. So apart from a keyboard that had the cursor keys available to use while still in the box it was a waste of time, which confirmed that he doesn't want clicking keys.

Has anyone got any more thoughts on mice?

Thanks for Wilkeh, out of interest is there any advantage for something like the Ducky DK-9008 Shine 3 or are the 'extras' that you get just gimmicks?
