The Dell mouse im using is finally starting to break down after almost 6 years of continuous use, I have to click down hard for it to select things and the scroll wheel on it hardly works, and I wouldnt mind getting a keyboard that has multimedia hotkeys and such on it.
My Budget is going to be no more then $20-$40,
I dont want anything that is too cheapy, I want something that is good quality, optical mouse, wireless would be nice, but if it makes my budget go up I can definately go without one, and I dont think wireless is too great anyways, and a glowing keyboard would be nice as well, but from alot of reviews ive read, the leds and stuff always break or the keys stick too much.

So just pretty much any keyboard or mouse combo that is good quality, optical, $20-$40, and Wireless and or lit up keyboard is optional. Thanks for youre suggestions in advance.

Well ive looked around and come up with a few things I am likeing right now, the
Microsoft Dusk Blue 5 Buttons Tilt Wheel USB + PS/2 RF Wireless Optical Wireless Mouse 5000 - Retail

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6826105043
Think this the mouse I want, has a nice look to it, good reviews, wireless with long battery life, and 2 buttons on the left which I like.

Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 5000

https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Wireles ... B000AB2FR0

Seems nice, that mouse which I like alone is like $25, so might as well get a wireless keyboard, although I dont think the photo software it comes with will be of any use and may be causing my budget to go over what I wanted.

I had a wireless setup for awhile. Eventually grew to dislike it tho. The way my desktop is set up, I had no real use for it. Plus batteries get expensive. Plus some wireless mice have a poor frequency, I have heared.

I've got a wireless mouse for my laptop that isn't that great. It's a Targus. Every few minutes the reciever picks up a "scroll down" and my screen moves even though I didn't use the wheel. The mouse doesn't even have to be turned on, it still has issues. I would stear clear of getting a Targus, just in my experience.

Your best bet to save cash would be ebay by a long shot.

$25

$23

Good stuff but I prefer logitech because the mouse has a dock to charge and the microsoft stuff doesnt.

Heres my keyboard and mouse which most of my friends have the same one cause its good.

Its cheaper if you dont want the dock charger, I say pay the extra for the dock charger cause its incredibly fast, full charge in like an hour or less I think.


and I really like the style of this one
