Wireless Keyboard and Mouse advice sought

[lazer46]

I am thinking of going wireless on my keyboard and mouse. Any recommendations? Not at all sure on budget but don't want to spend a lot. Thanks

I just recently bought a logitech wireless 1500 desktop keyboard & mouse, brilliant piece of kit, cost me £40.

Thanks. Will take a look at that.

Shame, the shop that were selling logitech dinovo laser desktop have run out, would have suggested that to you for £60!

Would you be using this for gaming? If so I would stay away for wireless, batteries going flat on you halfway into a game is not fun and the lag you can get is very annoying. If you are using this for normal typing then wireless will be fine.

+1 Occasionally had issues midgame or even talking on msn where the keyboard loses connection. Batteries however I've not had a problem with, software usually gives you a fair warning.

I think since last October, I have used about 4-5 sets of batteries, which is good considering it was in use up to 18 hours a day.

Not had any problems with mine on TFC and TF2

A bit of gaming but not much. Quite like the ones with the tiny USB dongle / receiver.

The logitech 1500 comes with a mouse dock to recharge the mouse.

Not fussy about recharging.
