I'm looking to spend around 30$ total. I would prefer to buy both from one person. I will pay with paypal immediately. I pay first as long as your heatware is good. Newegg has some great deals on peripherals but I figured I would let this thread stay up for a few days to see if I can find better.

What I'm currently looking at:

Mouse: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826146009&ignorebbr=1
Keyboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823201048&ignorebbr=1

Thanks in advance!

That rosewill should do nicely...does it have backlighting too? I didn't read into it far enough honestly. Backlighting is soooo nice to have for a gaming setup.

I would recommend this for the mouse: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C9R48A0/?tag=tec06d-20

I've been using one for months, it replaced my amazing Logitech G5 (which is still in service by the kids). That mouse is worth every penny and I'd easily pay full price for it knowing how well it is built, works and handles. Best gaming mouse value I've experienced!

I've also had that GB mouse, it's left button switch decided to come down with double-click on a single-click internal short. It's a decent mouse...but is crap compared to that Utech mouse I linked you. I know this from experience. It's weight is light, it's sensor is so-so...my Logitech M325 for my Laptop handles better...it's a good mouse until it wears out in 18 months or so. That was with my gf and kids using it primarily..I never did like how it handled but it was cheap and better than what she had at the time.

Thanks Kursah! Do you think the GB mouse is the best I am going to get for around 15$? I have to say the Utech is a bit expensive for me right now. I just bought a new build.

In that price range I suppose it's probably one of the best options...and it'll be okay I guess. But if you want a gaming mouse the best cheap one I can recommend is the one I am using and linked you to. I paid a little more than the $28 it's on sale for, but again even at full price it's a solid value...something to keep in mind. An $80 mouse for $28 is a pretty solid deal.
