I'm searching for a new keyboard and mouse as I have have worn out the one I have at my home office.

Post up what you have and if you like it.

So far it looks like I will be after this combo, I have this mouse now and love it, but it's a little worn too. The problem is it's not for sale yet and soon to be released. Are there any other nice keyboards out there that I'm missing?

The MX Revolution is the best mouse on the market IMHO. I have been waiting for Logitech to finally bundle it with a keyboard..I am in!

Oh.....and yeah, I already have the MX Revolution too, about 1.5 yrs old now and going strong.

Ya, I like it. You can do cool stuff like swap out keys to customize it and you can add a light to the top. I am by no means a gaming pro, but it has received great reviews and it does more than I will ever be able to use. It is not the cheapest out there, it is at 99 bucks now, but I have enjoyed my time with it. Gaming in the dark is cool too with both the mouse and keyboard lit up. They deff get style point imo.

I have this same keyboard/mouse. Only complaint i have, and its a small one. the mouse has 4 little rubber pads on the bottom. They collect gunk and after that the mouse will not slide smooth. Kinda pricey too, i paid $100 i think, but should be cheaper now. Other than that, its a great setup.

I just smashed my keyboard into a million peices so i went out and bought a Microsoft comfort 4000 with a laser mouse.
It cost $80 and is way better than the old 5 year old gateway one it replaced.
I like the extra buttons on the keyboard for quick links and the mouse has 4 buttons plus the scroll wheel, set up can be customized.

That looks really nice. I like the display on the keyboard, that is a nice feature.
