Devilz,
I've owned 4 wireless keyboard mice combo's from Microsoft and now only Logitech. I find then very good with the exception of the battery/charging issues. These combo's are great until you have interference issue or run low on battery charge. Then they start to act up. I've switched back to a usb wired keyboard and I couldn't be happier this illuminated keyboard is also available wireless and all I can say is my typing skills and accuracy has improve at least 3-4 fold. Buy this keyboard and don't look back you will thank me and rave to friends the bonus of the adjustable glow of it's keys at night in a darkened room is just icing on the cake as is said! Mice is another topic and I would want to know if you game and if so them move into an adjustable resolution gaming mouse wireless for sure or some of the detachable wired mice look really nice....cheers.

Currently I am using Reclusa Keyboard and Habu mouse. Got no problem with Keyboard but mouse has started to play so thinking of going wireless route.

I do gaming alot and yeah adjusting dpi is good option to consider as my current mouse got this feature.

I am looking at this, £89 on Logitech website

Cordless Desktop® Wave Pro



best price I've found is £65

Great mouse but I hate the action on the wave keyboard but after awhile you get used to almost anything but as I say the illuminated keyboard has an amazing tactile feel much like a laptop. Imagine a full size low profile keyboard like the best laptop only with silent keys except for the space bar and it lights up and has dimmer settings. Blows the wave out of the ocean...IMHO.

I got my Illuminated on sale for $49.00 usd and I'm using the old style Logitech nano laptop mouse for my desktop mouse and it scrolls just like that larger Wave combo mouse. Get the Wave combo as it sounds like this is the way you're leaning anyway. I can only tell you from my experiences with the Wave and Illuminated keyboards and the difference is palpable!
