Question Best Wireless Keyboard & Mouse?

What is the best wireless keyboard and mouse combo out there? (Bluetooth or not)

I am looking a something that will be able to perform very well even during gaming.

Thanks.

I have the cordless Logitech MX Duo combo. I don't know if it's the best but I definitely recommend it. Some people seem to have a problem recharging the mouse. Not me. I drop it in the cradle/charger and it makes contact everytime.

logitech makes some of the best wireless kb/mice i have ever used.

i have an mx700 and love it. battery life is good and even comes rechargable ones and a base station.

i think the current one is the mx1000.

Works great for me, but it's the only one I've used so I can't say its the best.

I have the microsoft as well and love it. The media buttons work well with itunes, so i basically have a remote for my computer that works about 10 ft away. I play quake3 with it here and there and it performs well

mx1000, its the newest logitech, it uses a laser and ive read many reviews from people who use it for gaming and love it, no lag at all.

i have a wireless logitech keyboard as well and have had no problems, the batteries in it have been working for over a year now!

I ended up going for the Logitech since the Bluetooth hub allows me to sync all my devices to my computer Works nicely! Very fast response and excellent, heavy mouse.

I've got the older Microsoft set with the split "Natural" keyboard and the first wireless mouse that featured the tilt wheel (which I never use). I bought the elite set (straight keyboard, wheel on the left) but ended up giving it to my kids because I really like the Natural keyboard.

I've been using mine heavily for probably a year and it has been great. I'll never go back to wired keyboard/mouse.

P.S. Everything I've read about the Bluetooth versions says they are not worth the expense - the others are cheaper and work more reliably.

Could be true. But for gaming, the extra speed is actually a benefit.

Plus, I have a few Bluetooth gadgets that can benefit from the expansion.
