Reddit mentions of Logitech MK550 Wireless Wave Keyboard and Mouse Combo - Includes Keyboard and Mouse, Long Battery Life, Ergonomic Wave Design - Black

I've been using this [Logitech keyboard and mouse combo](logitech mk550 wireless wave keyboard and mouse combo — includes keyboard and mouse, long battery life, ergonomic wave design https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VAHYNC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_7oGSCb1G1FQ18) for about 10 years. It has really helped.

Edit: linking on mobile sucks... Sorry.

I'm a fan of Logitech's Wave keyboard, which you can get in the MK550 combo. I find it much nicer to type on than a standard flat one, and the combo also includes a nicer mouse (it adds forward/back buttons and horizontal scrolling to the MK520's mouse). The keyboard isn't backlit, but that's not much of an issue on desktop keyboards.

It's $3 more on Amazon, and I'd say it's very much worth the extra money.

Not really, you can get a set like the logitech wave that pairs the mouse and keyboard to one receiver, or a keyboard with a trackpad build in

Oh damn, I though it was! Guess I didn't look close enough. How about this one?

I went here /r/buildapcforme to get advice for my build.

I'd also like to say that while gaming gear like special keyboards and mice are popular, there's no shame in using a simple mouse and keyboard set. I'm using this thing, found it cheap at the store, and never ran into any issues with input lag or anything playing games.

That said, If you do play online games with a voice chat, you may want to spend a little for a better mic.

Oh, and a boobie mouse pad might be good to consider, I have to deal with relatives, so mine is plain black with no tiddies, but these types of mouse pad are great

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VAHYNC These are pretty good wireless combos if wireless is what your looking for.

I would highly recommend the Logitech MK550 Ergonoical and battery life is beyond overkill.

I'm on my second set of the Logitech 920-002555 MK550 Wireless Wave Keyboard and Mouse Combo. I bought my first set almost 4 years ago and the mouse is still working (although the cursor started moving noticeably slower today), but the keyboard died last week. I really like the set, though. Wish it lasted longer, but it's $45 on Amazon, so not too bad for 4 years of everyday use at work.

I would highly encourage checking out some professional workstation laptops - so much better built than gaming notebooks, will last a very long time.

Thinkpad P51 is a great start. I'd configure it with an SSD (or add one yourself if possible).

Or, if you're looking for something cheaper and don't mind a 940MX, the T470p is also an excellent option. Still has a quad-core for editing. I'd configure this with the 7820HQ and whatever else you feel is necessary.

Wireless mouse and keyboard

Thanks!

The Amazon reviews agree with me in saying I think this is the best combo for the money: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Combo-Keyboard-920-002555/dp/B003VAHYNC/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1322984529&sr=1-3

If you want something with a little smaller form factor, the Logitech MK520 is incredible. Battery will last for 6 months or more easily. I've had both and a few more models from Logitech, along with a couple from Microsoft, and these 2 above are by far the best I've had.

Did you mean keyboard/mouse combo? If so, I personally like this one.

I would then get or make a laptop stand that opens and elevates your laptop screen, but that's a viewing height/desk space preference.

Not much choices for a wireless keyboard at that range. You could get a Logitech ergonomic keyboard. Not many options out there at this price range and wireless that are quality built. If you could bump up your budget, you could get a XArmor U9W wireless mechanical keyboard for a little under $110. Other than that, it's just generic wireless membrane keyboards at your price range. May I ask why it has to be wireless? Couch gaming setup?
