    Hi all. I am currently looking for two things, a wireless mouse and a wireless keyboard for my ultraportable and would like some recommendations.

    I want a good quality wireless mouse that can withstand constant travelling. It is mostly for work uses so gaming mouses like the Logitech G700 is not necessary, although a few more mouse buttons that can be used with macros doesn't hurt. It will be great if the mouse can be rechargable but that is not compulsory.

    For the wireless keyboard, it needs to be fullsized with numpad. It will be a great bonus if it is backlit. An even bigger bonus if it can be folded (not the rubber ones though). So far I have only heard of the Matias keyboard that has great quality and can be folded, but the price is rather high and unless there are cheaper alternatives the folding factor will not be a priority.

    Any suggestions?

    After a dozen drops my Logitech mouse finally bit the dust. However, the keyboard that came with it (dropped twice) is still in daily use. My Performance mouse also works flawlessly after several drops. I recommend Logitach

    How much of a budget do you have? The price for the Matias you mentioned in only $88 and to me that is not much at all for something that is easy to carry and will be wireless.
