Firstly, apologies. I do love mechanical keyboards. Current favourite is vintage cherry blacks followed by topre.

However, I need to set up a NUC box for the kids with a wireless keyboard and mouse. I'm on a budget. Can anyone recommend a wireless keyboard mouse combo for less than £50 that is reliable, responsive with a reasonable feel?

I've trawled the site and think that we may all benefit from a more recent response as it's been a couple of years since this question was raised previously.

Feel free to tell me to install a Bluetooth module in a model m as long as you can assure me it passes the criteria...

Many thanks. Mark

My mum uses a wireless Microsoft keyboard with an integrated trackpad. It's standard fare, just what you'd expect: fairly unimpressive scissor switches, normal sort of compact laptop layout, and mushy mushy mushy. It wasn't too expensive from what I remember. It's just called "Microsoft All-in-one Media keyboard".

Amazon has it for 40 GBP (wtf): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Media ... a+keyboard

Logitech has this similar, cheaper one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Wirele ... a+keyboard

I can't guarantee you'll find one for under £50, but you might. I found mine for under $40 shipped. The trackpad is... quirky. Great for controlling a multimedia PC or browsing or OS chores, totally useless for gaming.

I've had very medicore experiences with cheap Logitech and Repoo wireless keyboard+mouse sets. Logitech is a bit better, but still crappy if you would compare this to cheap wired corporate rubber dome keyboards.

What I would recommend to look for are Fujitsu wireless sets LX390, LX901 and the like. You can get that refurbished at decent prices. There are sets like this from Lenovo, but the quality and durability is much worse in my opinion.

There is an ebay.uk seller with LX390's on for £20, is that a reasonable price?

Thanks for all the advice. Mark.

They sell for 80-100 pln refurbished here in PL. 20 quid seems ok.
