Being damn near broke is making that an easy problem to deal with. Smiley: laugh

Any suggestions on a decent keyboard and mouse running about $25 for both? I'm giving my old comp to my parents and thus need a new one of each. Was gonna wait til they processed my refund on the other motherboard, but I got a $25 visa gift card through work and don't have to wait until Friday-ish to do so. Probably going to give them the new keyboard and the old mouse if it makes a difference(the old mouse's scrolling wheel doesn't scroll well, which has made using it for gaming difficult).

A great deal I saw was the old Modern Warfare 3 themed keyboard/mouse from logitech.

about 50% of the nregular one

20 dollars cheaper than regular one.

At $25 for both, I'd just get some inexpensive desktop office set from a reputable company. Here's a Logitech set. Save your pennies to one day buy the super gaming mouse with 35 buttons and 45,000 DPI.

For future reference, you'll generally want to go with a corded mouse for gaming. No batteries/recharging to hassle with and you eliminate the chance of slower reaction times due to wireless interference. Since you just bought a tower, I'm guessing any mouse you use is never leaving a two square foot area on your desk anyway.

Yeah, pretty much. I've been in far too many raids where someone's mouse died while they were kiting something important to ever consider a wireless mouse.

Hey Now I have a Wireless mouse! Well Actually I have a Hybrid mouse I use a Logitech G700 Its one of those Corded or Wireless mice that you can recharge while using it. Usually I plug it in at night, its never died on me and if it does I just plug it in quick and keep going. As for best Kb/M for 25 dollars thats pushing it, maybe Wally World or Amazon has something.

I used to use an MX Revolution which I loved. I won't pretend the wireless thing was a huge issue except that eventually the batteries held less and less of a charge and I couldn't justify why a wireless mouse was better for the desktop usage. It was just paying a little extra for flexibility I never used and giving me a few more (admittedly not major) hassles such as forgetting to put the mouse on its charger and picking it up the next day with one bar remaining. For my next mouse, I just went with a traditional corded type.

Of course, I'd expect no less from somebody who can't even piece a computer together! http://i.imgur.com/VGNX2.gif

I use strictly wireless mice for gaming and other uses and have had zero problems to date. These mice tout 8 & 12 months respectively and they've each lasted *at least* that long. Your mileage may vary of course, but don't dismiss them out of hand.
