Mouse and Keyboard

[JRVanillaBear]

So, I have heard (correct me if I am wrong) that Wired Mouse and Keyboard is better than Wireless Mouse and Keyboard.

That's more a statement that a question.

My question is, I sit a little further away from my PC and screen than the cable on a Mouse and Keyboard will reach (the PC is in my front room and I sit on my sofa). So, if I was to get a Wired Keyboard and Mouse and then add a USB extension on to cover the gap (a couple of feet), would I notice any difference? Or is it worth me getting a Wireless one?

Cheers

Just get wireless, I had this discussion a few years back which some kid was basically calling me an idiot gamer cause I had a wireless mouse and that 0.1ms difference meant everything.

There is no difference, if it's easier for you to be wireless then be wireless.

So I suppose my next question would be ... Recommendations?

As I am sure it is evident from the fact I will be playing on my sofa, I am not a 'serious' gamer so not fussed with all these extra buttons, just want something that will reliably connect.

The only thing in the way on my PC and Sofa is Wireless Router and some stairs? Will that make a difference?

Cheers

Looks like it will be a wireless mouse then as all you helpful people have made it clear that there isn't a huge difference ... And I won't be playing BF2 so no dead Heli Gunners over here!

My budget is around £100 for both a W/Mouse and W/Keyboard? I will have a look when I get a chance, which isn't often.

Also, is there much difference between all the mats on offer? I will need a medium size one to lay on my couch as it isn't the best surface for the opticals.
