New keyboard & mouse needed: £60 max budget

Hi

I know that there are other threads probably with similar info, but I thought I'd condense my search for a new keyboard & mouse into 1 new thread.

Looking to spend £60 max for the 2 items. Been looking at the usual suspects:

Logitech MX518 Gaming Mouse
Logitech G11 keyboard

But would consider other brands, Microsoft?

Does anyone else have any ideas of products I may not have thought of.

Need it mainly for gaming & general PC use.

I'd go for them two you suggested, and I don't doubt that most other responses will say the same as you

I've used the same combo for years & swear by it for my FPS.
MX518 + Speedlink Ultra KB. (Also rebranded by Advent as well.product code751536)

The MX518 is a Legendary piece of kit for a reason, Nuff said.
The KB is Ally so doesn't move & has flush/flat laptop style keys so your fingers don't get caught between the keys during manic FPS sessions.

Use a logitech G500 mouse here, really comfortable for extended gaming use, keyboard is a second hand saitek eclipse 2, good no nonsense kb. I also have a logitech G15 v1 on a second rig, identical to the G11 except it has the smal lcd display, both are excellent keyboards.

Had my eye on the Microsoft SideWinder X4 Gaming Keyboard. Got Premium Grade in CPC magazine.

That'll leave you with enough for the MX518, although after looking at it I was nearly sick! What about the Logitech M500 Laser Mouse? Looks much better imo

I have the MX518 and the G11, both brilliant and both from Logitech who have amazing customer support.

My friend has the MX518 and he thinks it's great. Also Logitechs support is really good so you know you have a great mouse for the entire 3 year warranty (or whatever it is).
