Belkin Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

RRP: AU$79.95 Belkin Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

The Good: If you need wireless and are on a very tight budget, the Belkin Wireless Keyboard and Mouse is the cheapest combo on the market today. The ball mouse could (in theory) utilise less power than an always-on optical mouse.

The Bad: No additional launch buttons on the keyboard, which is just a plain 104 key model. The reset buttons are quite recessed, which makes connecting a touch tricky. Like all other wireless keyboards, no indicators for Num, Scroll and Caps lock; you have to rely on onscreen indicators.

The Verdict: If you must have wireless, but are strapped for cash, the Belkin Wireless Keyboard and Mouse is a no-frills option. You can definitely get better wireless keyboards and mice if you can stump up the extra cash, though.
