    I want a wireless keyboard and mouse combo that's under $48 in Toronto. One of my major choosing points in choosing a combo is the shape of the mouse. I currently have a wired mouse that is super ergonomic for gaming and that's one of my major gripes when choosing a combo.

    I want a wireless mouse that is as ergonomic as mine ( i don't really care about the keyboard, just make sure it doesn't skip keys when under intense gaming) and will play as well as my wired mouse (its old but its really smooth and easy to use).

    any suggestions?

    so ... is it wireless mouse that you want or both keyboard and mouse?
    theres logitech G7 which is wireless , the shape is ergonomic too.
    but the price is $80

    another wireless mouse which is MX620 priced at $60 , this mouse i am not quite sure about the gaming performance.

    most gaming mouse are made to be ergonomic, and they all look wildly different.
    can you tell us what mouse you currently have, so we get an idea of what shape of mouse you're after.
    for the keyboard, just get a cheap logitech, there are no decent 'gaming' keyboard for low budget. spend the majority of you budget on the mouse.

    sorry for being vague, but if you take a look at the microsoft wireless laser moues 6000, that's the shape i want.

    basically, i want a mouse shaped like that, and i want the setup of keyboard + mouse to not lose connection while doing anything at all (i'll be 0.2ft from my computer 24/7). those are my only quirks

    thanks for the responses but the reason why i didn't choose the microsoft 6000 was because many of the user reviews reported a lot of connectivity problems even when right beside their computer...
