Recommend a good keyboard/mouse combo

Hey guys, I'm looking for a new keyboard and mouse combo. I'm looking to spend $50-$75, and the combo must be macbook compatible.

I'm not sure if I want wired or wireless, so please recommend a combo for each category.

Thanks!

Can't say if it's Mac compatible, but I've been using and really liking my Microsoft Wireless Desktop (the version with the ergonomic keyboard). Once I went wireless, I realized that I won't want to go back.

That Logitech mouse is the notebook version, and so it's smaller than a standard mouse. Just take that into consideration if you have big hands.

Microsoft has been working great for me the past 3 years. Batteries last forever.

I have a MX510 currently and I love it.

I'll have to check out the size differences between the notebook and normal version. Thanks, and please keep those recommendations coming!

True, but the one you originally linked to was the VX version. I will be getting the MX version eventually.
