    Hi, over the next few weeks i am building new desk, and storage for my comp towers, here is a picture to describe whats happening.

    pic: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/thehub/sketchofroom.jpg (soz about the handwriting, aint used to the graphics tablet yet :p)

    Now from the pic, you can see that the length if 5m, obviously cables aint going to reach that far, the devices in question are Keyboard/Mouse & Monitor, so what i need is some long Monitor extension cable's for 2 of my monitors so both can extend prefrebly up to 5m, i also need new keyboard, my 2 other keyboards are crap, the keyboards need to be Wireless, capable of been 5m away from the reciever and that are good for gaming, i cant game with my 2 other keyboards, there just too crap, infact my main mouse is too, only 800Dpi and i cant turn fast enough, of course the 2 keyboards need to be different as if they were exatly the same they would interfear with each other.

    So, the Peripherals i need are, 2 Wireless Mouse/ Keyboard combo (2 different sets),1 decent gaming mouse (not one that costs a bomb) and monitor extension cable for up to 5M.

    As i said, i would like decent Mouse/Keyboard, but i dont want them to be very costly.

    well, about up to 20quid for each mouse/keyboard (has to be wireless) & 20quid to 40quid for a gaming mouse, would prefer wireless gaming mouse but it does not have to be wireless.

    Most of the gaming key board and mice tend to be wired. or wireless at the top end of the market like the Logitech G7 mouse.

    Hardcore Gamers Bundle - Saitek Eclipse Keyboard with Logitech G7 Mouse £72.84
    yeah ok so its a bit above what you were wanting to pay and the keyboard isn't wireless but this has quality written all over it. Ive had a wirless keyboard in the past and battery life was a constant problem.

    Best wireless gaming keyboard? - TechIMO Forums

    couldn't really think of one so just had a look around the forums and bingo loads of wireless keyboards.

    microsoft keyboard??? erm no having the MS op system is just about the limit. don't want to line Bill Gates pockets even more.

    I followed the link for the G15 keyboard. Why is the UK keyboard 20 quid dearer. what a rob!!!

    The fact that it states it isn't a UK keyboard would lead me to believe that it must be set out differently. Let me check.

    If you want a cheap mouse look on eBay for a Logitech MX610 Wireless Laser Mouse - the normal ones are shaped for right hands but there are left handed models around - they retails at like £40 but I got mine for £10.50 (what a steal)

    As for keyboards, I have the Microsoft Wireless keyboard (and mouse - but that sucks) and it's great, I've had it for nearly 3 years and have only changed the batteries a few times - if you're really worried, get some rechargables - one set to use and one on standby for when the other set runs out.

    Battery life depends on either a power charge of a longer charge.
    Minimum is 4 to 5 hrs play time. which is ample unless on wow.

    The G15 keyboard is up at £43.00 again on aria

    maybe that could be a new post. ive posted a query at aria. hopefully they may reply soon.

    It baffles me that there would be a difference. they use the same language so you think they would be the same

    Yeah but the price difference is £20. does the 20 quid price difference justify itself
