Keyboard wise, Microsoft Natural 4000. One of the best and also one of the cheapest ergonomic keyboards there is.

I have both !!! only use the mouse thou, the desk is not big enough for the natural keyboard

I have the Diamondback 3G. I loves it. I've never found wireless mice as good as a wired but that's just me. i don't have a mousemat for mine and never had any problems. I also find it really comfortable, most mice feel too large and unweilding for me. This one is juuuussst riiiiight /goldilocks mode off

No mouse pad here but it's laminate rather than wood so I don't know if that makes a difference.

As for wired/wireless - I've tried a lot of different mice and I've always found that wireless ones are OK for general use but they're too heavy for gaming.

Hmm yeah I can quite agree with that.

I don't use a mouse mat either. I've got one of those self heal cutting mats.

Works great for optical mice as it's got a little texture on it.

When gaming - £3 teftlon sheet from Sainsburys.

Me? Cheap? YUP!

I love my G5 mouse, which I use without a pad - I find it good for gaming and for general use.

Keyboard, I heartily recommend the Enermax Aurora. Looks bloody good and nice and comfortable to use. It's not backlit though.

Edit: Oops, forgot it was above your limit.

Hey Bigstan. Haven't seen that before. Looks nice on Scan. Really like the idea of an audio socket and a USB hub.

Silly question but if I get a keyboard that plugs in using USB will I be able to use the keyboard in my BIOS? My current Apple keyboard uses Bluetooth, which hasn't loaded by the time I'm in the BIOS meaning I have to keep an old PS/2 keyboard for fiddling with the BIOS.

I've never used the audio sockets but I've heard they're not the best quality, although they're apparently fine for skype etc. The USB ports work fine.

USB keyboard should work at the BIOS (mine does) although, not always on a new build (i.e. first time in) I always keep a PS2 keyboard handy just in case. Once the machine has been booted up and it recognises the keyboard, you shouldn't have any problems
