Hi there!

Sorry this is not really a programming question..

I'm in the market for a wireless keyboard & a wireless mouse. Can you tell me which keyboard & mouse do you use for coding and what do you like about it?

I currently use a HP wired keyboard and a VX Nano mouse and would like to buy a wireless set for work.

I thought of getting the 'Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 Keyboard and Mouse Set' but the function keys are too small for my liking. I really like Logitech VX Nano mouse but looks like its been replaced by a newer, heavier mouse (uses 2 AA instead of 2 AAA Nano uses). And I couldn't find the Nano online from reputable merchants.

I like the "traditional" keyboard layout (where the insert, home, pageup etc buttons appear in 2 rows with 3 buttons in each row). Any suggestions?

Thanks for any advice.

I used to go through keyboards like nobodies business. A few years ago I got myself the Logitech G15 and haven't looked back. It's sturdy, reliable and the macro keys are great for automating development processes. The illuminated keys are also great for those late night coding sessions. I should have been on commision though because I have converted loads of people in our company to them.
