Long story short, I may have to replace my wireless keyboard and mouse. I admit, they cost me next to nothing.

I tried playing Crysis 3 on mine and there was a huge amount of stutter. It was because the connection was bad. If I'm holding down W the signal would break up so he'd take a couple of steps, stop, and take a few more.

So, I have to reach past the fish hooks and broken glass to take get my wallet from my back pocket and get something real.

What are you using? Any good? Under $200? Thanks.

I wish I could help since I too am looking for a new wireless mouse and keyboard.
Preferably the same I already have, which is a Silvercrest MTS2219-SL.
It has worked perfectly for several years until just a few weeks ago when it doesn't always respond to a mousebutton click.

Out of interest, what kind of mouse and keyboard did you have?

I'm starting to scour both new and second hand sites so if I find anything I'll post it here.

For mouse I've got a G700s and I don't have any complaints. If it's a size, shape and button configuration that you might be into then I'd definitely recommend it.

My keyboard is the K70 which is wired and doesn't have a wireless variant but if you can find something wireless in the same style with the built out keys so there's no trough to store all your old skin and hair then definitely consider it.

It was fine when I limited gaming to Xbox 360 controller games but am now finding I'll likely need to get into keyboard and mouse. I'll check Amazon's offerings for Silvercrest, thanks!

I'll check that mouse, thank you! EDIT: Wow! Heck of a piece of equipment!

I advise against wireless but if you absolutely want that the Logitcech G602 is amazing. Between that and my current Steelseries Sensei I can't decide which I like more. Super comfy, plenty of buttons without being obnoxious, and the battery lasts for WEEKS. And I do mean weeks. I can count the number of times I changed the batteries in it on one hand.

A tad late, seeing as you might already have read about it in the News forum (here), but I'm planning on purchasing Logitech G403 Prodigy Wireless.
It seems to match your requirements as well so I just thought a heads-up might be nice. ,)

Looks really nice. About $50... thanks for the referral!
