For under £100 please! :)

I need a medium-small sized mat with a good mouse for gaming as well as a keyboard for the same purpose. Also nice, loud speakers.

£91.61 altogether inc VAT without shipping

Edit: Oh and yeah, I am a Razer fan :P
They do make the best gaming peripherals. I've tried Both Logitech and Razer products, and Razer seems to always have to upperhand for me !!! But maybe its just the way I use them, so maybe Its not the best for everyone ;p

To be honest, keyboard and mouse are so subjective that no one can choose them for you. What's great for one person might be unusable for the next. The best piece of advice I can offer is don't skimp on them. Combined with the monitor, they're the only bits of your computer that you actually touch or see (unless you spend hours looking at your case and stroking it lovingly I guess), so spend as much as you can and it will make a big difference in your day to day experience, more so than an extra 200Mhz on your CPU speed or extra 3 fps.

My recent choice was a Logitech G9, MS Sidewinder X6 and Razer Destructor mat (I use a headset so can't comment on speakers) and I'm really happy with them all. Other forum favourites are:

Mice: MX518, Razer Deathadder (as above)
Keyboards: Logitech G15, Saitek Eclipse series

As for mats that depends whether you like cloth or prefer a hard surface. Also, what kind of gaming do you do? FPS requirements are generally different from MMORPGs or RTS gaming needs.

Sorry to be a bit vague, but hope that helps in a twisted kind of way :p
 
awwww... forgot the speakers... sorry, lol
you might just want to get a cheap keyboard (not the most important) then and get good set of speakers

Not the MMO kind, I prefer FPS games.

Spelling mistake.

I don't think it's possible to get gaming keyboard, mouse, mouse mat and some good speakers, i would look for headphones if you can't afford good speakers.
 
yea £100 isnt really enough for all 4, get a cheap(ish) keyboard, made by a decent brand. Mouse wise you might have to skimp and not go with the good brands and more like the brands that copy logitech/razer, they arent that bad but they also arent as good. Surface wise get a decent mat for around £15-20, your preference on surface. Speakers.....you arent going to get anything worth while. When you say "gaming" before something it tends to mean a minimum of £30 per item, and thats generally only if its outdated, normally its around £50 for the current top items. Speakers are around £70 for a fairly good set of 5.1 (logitech x-540s) for hte money, or you could get a 2.1 set of something slightly cheaper.
 
Logitech do a decent 2.1 speaker set for less than £20, I always buy it for build I do for friends, with a sound blaster card they sound really good and handle the bass well. you can't go wrong for the price.
