I use logitech lx500 and it works fine. I'm on my first set of batteries (1 1/2 months now) and there hasn't been a problem yet.

There is also a "battery monitor" tool that tells you when juice is running low.

I use a microsoft intellimouse explorer 2.0 wireless for my gaming. I have been using it for about 3-4 months now, I play all types of games, including FPS, and have no complaints.

The newer wireless mouses seem to do ok in gaming. I had an old Logitech Elite Duo set and the wireless mouse was definitely lagging me in Counterstrike. Switched to an MX510 and never looked back. I hear the MX1000 is killer for games also

If you are going to use it for shooters I would get the Razer Diamondback or one of the mx series mentioned above. If you use a very high sensitivity stay away from the mx1000 as it has a wierd hitch when you pick it up from the mousepad at high sens. If not, any of them would be fine.

Wireless keyboard will make no difference with gaming but I would stay away from the wireless mouse....even the mx1000 has its issues as mentioned above. I used one for a week or so then returned it for an mx510 which I :heart:
