wireless kb/mouse recommendations

[ShuckyD]

Im looking into making my whole computer setup wireless for the one i have at work. Right now i have just a wireless mouse, and it took me a while to find one that i liked. (but im gonna take recommendations and get a new combo)

I want a wireless keyboard and mouse combo but i want a docking station for the mouse so i dont have to put batteries in it, just a place to dock the mouse and let it charge. Most of the ones i looked at especially in stores (well all in the stores) you have to just put batteries in the mouse and the keyboard. Im gonna probably be ordering it either through NewEgg or ZZF soo that opens up my choices. I dont think anyone makes a docking station to put your keyboard in, but hey that would be funny

Any suggestions, if anyone has a great combo kb/mouse that has a docking station and can give me their best suggestion/opinion that would be great, thanks

How much are you willing to spend?

And are there any particular features you want?

I suppose no gaming?

[ShuckyD]

Well no gaming at work heh soo im not worried about key binding... Features that i would use would be shortcut buttons you can program for applications and CD player control.... no need to get an LCD that displays my FPS in any given game or my Instant Messages... altough someday i may venture into that, it looks cool. My limit is under $100 probably in the range of $50 -$100 USD, which im sure i can pick up a decent one in that price range....

Now a wireless keyboard that has a charging dock is a stretch but would be nice (dont think they exist)

I highly reccomend this Keyboard and Mouse Combo. I got one of these for free for doing some training for Microsoft and it has been the best keyboard I've owned! I love the natural layout, I have it so I can rest my elbows on the sides of my L desk.

It actually does help if you type alot and want to prevent Carpel tunnel. My mom got carpel tunnel, first thing the doctor did was tell her work to switch out her normal keyboard with a Natural Keyboard.

It has everything you need on it, and I've used it for gaming and its pretty good and well within your price range

Edit:
Oh yeah, I forgot to add, Microsoft has the BEST customer service. After a while, my keyboard became more and more nonresponsive for some reason (i dont know why..) and all I did was email them, they emailed me back with some tips to see if it was just some wierd issue, it wasnt so they overnighted me a new set and told me to just throw away the old ones

ehh... Maybe i shouldnt be so picky, but i cant really type on those Ergonomic designs, i had one awhile back that i "won" at a lan party (not wireless tho) and i just gave it to a friend cause i couldnt type with any bit of speed or consistency...

I haven't seen a wireless keyboard with a charging station but it's generally not a big deal as the batteries last for quite some time in keyboards. The mouse is another matter, a charging station would definatly be benificial for the mouse.

[ShuckyD]

yea thats what i figured they didnt make em.. wishful thinking though... Yea im pretty much just looking for a wireless keyboard and mouse combo that the mouse has a docking station

My vote goes for Logitech. I used to have the Logitech LX500 which i got for like 25$ refurbished. Worked great, and had lots of nice shortcut buttons as well as a media control center.
I bought for two of my friends the Logitech LX700 for like 35-40$ refurbished. It comes with a charging dock, and they both liked them very much. Keyboard battery hasnt died and its been like 6months. Mouse is thrown on dock, so you dont have to switch out batteries.

My advice on this is to go into Best Buy and actually get a hands on experience with the products. They should have like 7 wireless setups out. You wanna make sure the mouse is comfortable and everything feels okay.

Cool i will take a look at that, im not going to go refurbished, but i will take a look at the Logitech LX700 since that sounds like a winner..
