Hey guys...

I've been using one of the original MS wireless optical mice for quite sometime and a plain jain keyboard....

I was wondering if there were any good wireless combo's out there that could help me "cut the cord" completely and still be good for gaming?

I prefer optical, and if at all possible a "natural shaped" keyboard.

I love the Logitech MX Duo, and so do many others. No lag, looks cool, rechargeable mouse batteries, keyboard is very nice too. I haven't had any issues with mine at all.

The link above features a black wireless keyboard and mouse does it not!?

Hell, if you don't like split keyboards

Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop -OEM

Anyhow... I prefer corded keyboards since A) I'm not too familiar with wireless keyboards and as far as I know, which isn't far, they use batteries, whether they're rechargable or not and haven't seen any kinda rechargable quick charge cable and/or cradling system like there is for mice. B) I don't have much of a need for a cordless keyboard. C) I don't like either wasting batteries or having to keep throwing them in the recharger. Plus rechargable batteries seem to degrade over time giving you less and less bettery life.

I still prefer corded mice as well because of the added weight in cordless mice. Mice have cradles today which eliminate the battery issues I mentioned above but their battery still degrades over time as well at some point.

Microsoft and Logitech are the only serious brands for this.

I am cheep and bought an ultra cheap Memorex combo. The keyboard works great. It runs on two AA batteries and does not recharge but it is not a problem as I have been using it for 5+ months and still no loaw batery warnings.

The mouse is complete crap though, although I believe it was the optical sensor not the lack of a wire.

You have an optical mouse and you know how it is. If you like it I suggest you just get a good keyboard and keep using your old mouse.
