hey i just celebrated my birthday yesterday and got some money (not sure what my parents are to give me yet) and i imagine i would be aorund the $80 area and was wondering if anyone could reccomend and keyboard and mouse set to get (corded preferably) at Best Buy (as i have a Best Buy gift card to go with the other money). so if anyone could try and find a good set for that price range and post a link it'd be nice

Logitech G5 mouse
Lazar mouse FTW
Logitech G11 keyboard
Prices dropped since I bought both.
I spend around $90 on both together almost a year ago.
Both allow you a lot of customizable buttons. The keyboard give you 3 different profiles of 18 customizable buttons as well as a macro record feature that you can use in game. The mouse allows you to adjust the speed of the cursor (DPI) and the key board has 2 different back light brightness settings.
I like both of them but I am not sure if Best Buy will carry these. Maybe you will be able to order them online.

This is the mouse (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104076&Tpk=g5)

After checking the current prices, together, they might be a little out of the money you want to spend. If you want to spend a little extra, you will be fine but there might be an alternative for you that will give you most of the same features for less money. I went with Logitech basically because of the brand name and I have never had any complaints with any of the products.
I had a headset and another optical mouse that they had made and the only reason i switched mice was because the optical mouse wasn't wired and I was replacing batteries every two weeks after heave usage. The headset went bye-byes because my cat chose to chew through the wire while I was away for a week.

Logitech mouses (mice :D) ftw

Razer copperhead for the mouse (Lachesis has too many issues right now, though that's what I use). I like the Logitech Ultra X keyboards because they're nice and slim, but I think the mac keyboards are even slimmer - I've been tempted to get one of those.

I got the Logitech LX3 mouse which is what i needed most because my old mouse didn't work whatsoever...
BUT... my parents wouldn't let me buy a new keyboard... they said it's a waste of money -.-
