The request for router advice went well, so I thought I'd solicit advice on wireless mice and keyboards.
I haven't had much keyboard trouble, but my cheap wireless mice seem not to be very durable. Any recommendations for mice that will last and perform basic mouse functions pretty well?
I won't use advance features probably, so no gaming mice. I really like having the center roller scroll well and being able to click it. AutoCAD and Adobe use that feature.
Right now, my Microsoft mouse roller works badly because of a Windows upgrade, and I can't seem to get it to go back via any path I can find.

Wireless mouse/keyboard recommendations?
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Re: Wireless mouse/keyboard recommendations?
I have been using a Logitech cordless keyboard/mouse combo, minus the mouse. I use their trackball, and have for years. It works seamlessly with the keyboard, and only needs the one receiver. Mrs. O has the same trackball, and the same model "unifying" receiver, and there's never any interference among the devices. The keyboard is very durable (sometimes I pound when I'm gaming), and has volume/mute keys at the top right. It's a bit noisier than I would like, but I'm not interested in paying $100 for a keyboard, either. The combo I'm using is on sale now for $35, at Best Buy, regularly $70.

I just got a Logitech G700s myself, I like it but I do not use it wirelessly. I actually like that I can use it both wired and wireless and that it uses standard rechargeable batteries (1xAA), comes with the eneloop which is damn near the best one on the market (I have dozens)
