Sofa / Bed Gaming

Ladies and Gentlemen, I require your help.

I recently built my gaming rig and all is good, apart from the fact that I am yet to put it through it's paces properly.

However, I am in the market for a mouse and keyboard and possibly an idea on playing in bed.

Hopefully I will be playing downstairs on my sofa, in which case I need a good WIRELESS Keyboard and Mouse. Not to fussed about it being AMAZING and Super Responsive etc as my gaming is going to be Social, not competitive so I am fine with loosing out to someone because their mouse is super accurate.

Not really got a budget, as I am not sure on how much these things cost, but I just want reliability and value for money. I would say I don't want to be spending to much over £100.

Also, what are the advantages of a Gaming Mat? Would it help if I was to lie one over the arm of my sofa (what my mouse will be resting on) to improve performance?

All advice welcome

Keyboard K360, what I'm using right now, so comfortable, depends if you like the style of keys though, really responsive which great battery life.

Also Logitech G700 or Logitech Performance MX for the mouse.
Maybe a Razer Mamba or naga wireless.

Could you provide a link to the Keyboard? Or the Make?

Cheers

Just google Logitech k360, comes in a variety of styles/colors.

Sorry, you didn't put Logitech so I didn't know where to begin.

Looking now!

Bed gaming? TV at the foot of the bed, keyboard on lap - I can see the attraction of that.

Logitech are a good bet at any price point you like.

You might just be best off using a wired Xbox controller if you plan on playing in bed/on sofa, as you won't get the most out of a mouse/keyboard combo that way anyway.

I sofa game as well. Have the gigabyte eco600 mouse and a rubbish cheapo keyboard. Mouse is fine, quite happy with it, but the keyboard is driverless apparently so only uses the drivers windows finds for it. Really annoying because I have to unplug and replug the adapater back in again once windows boots to get it working.

Anyway that was a long and boring way to say yes I was looking at the K360 too. Can't seem to find any actual gaming keyboards that are wireless.

I use a plank of wood as a high tech portable desk for my keyboard and mouse when I'm gaming on my bed. I also use it as a desk for my laptop and mouse. I would use a 360 controller as much as possible if you're playing for fun and not to win.
