Best Keyboard and Mouse and Speakers?

Hey guys, can you make some suggestions in this category? I have no clue about keyboard/mouse but I like the logitech 560 speakers. What do you think?

For keyboard/mouse you can not go wrong with Logitech. The Logitech optical mouse can be found for about $20 at just abnout any electronic store. I have the Logitech cordless keyboard, that I got at BestBuy for $40. I couldnt be happier with it. Its quiet, one less cord on the desk, and it feels good. I would recommend going to a store like Bestbuy where they have alot of keyboards on display. Type things on them to decide which one feels the best to you.

The Logitech Z-560s are excellent speakers. If your looking for something reasonably priced those are the ones to go with. If you want something cheaper, a set of 4.1 Creatives will run you about $50. If you need something high-end, Klipsch is the way to go (>$400.

I've always been a fan of M$ hardware products. Yes, M$. Their HW gadgets are not like their SW. Never had a problem with one of them and their lifespan is long.

But I'm with Alaron regarding Logitech, they make nice HW products. I just tested a wireless KB&Mouse kit and I liked it very much. But I'm sticking with my wired gadgets for a looong time. I just don't like the wireless things.

Logitech or Microsoft will do you well. I like the optical mouse (no more mouse pads).

Go with either Logitech or MS. The only two I will purchase.

M$ makes the best mice in my opinion. I like Northgate Omnikey keyboards, good luck finding one they are out there but you'll have to look some. Old IBM mechanical keyboards are pretty nice as well.

Logitech all the way for me as far as keyboard/mice ...Every MS mouse I've ever owned has died within a year...and I own about 4 MS Natural Keyboards that get stiff and become rather irritating after only a few short months...
