Any strong opinions on good computer speakers and wireless keyboard / mouse combos?

[jwbryson1]

Looking to add a new wireless keyboard / mouse to my new PC and some decent speakers. I don't need any of you technogeeks telling me I need a $699 speaker setup though.

I just want something decent and I don't really care about a subwoofer because I don't listen to music that much on my computer. I want to be able to listen to videos on Youtube and music is secondary, but I don't want crap. Somewhere in the middle (<$100) would be good.

Am I better off buying a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse separately versus in a bundle?

Thanks for any comments.

If you buy a wireless keyboard and mouse as a bundle it will usually have a single dongle that controls both, while if you buy them seperately you're usually dealing with 2 dongles. So I'd recommend a bundle if you can find one that suits your needs. I've had the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Mouse 6000 v3 bundle for a few years and I love it.

Jeff.. any of the midrange or top-end Microsoft or Logitech KB/Mouse bundles are great.. can't go wrong. Just decided on what features you want and go for it. I do recommend installing the OEM software that comes with them also (Setpoint or Intellipoint).

On the speakers... I use these at work, and do a lot of teleconferencing, videos, and music with them. They are clear, with good sound reproduction (even adequate bass) Amazon.com: LOGITECH, INC. X-140 2.0 Speaker System LOG9702640403: Computers & Accessories
