I had a Saitek Eclipse but I couldnt get used to it so have gone back to my old Logitech one. Logitech have a new "gaming" keyboard out now, and that would be my preferred choice.

Mouse-wise, I use a Wireless Logitech MX700 which has been great over the last couple of years - no complaints.

to be fair i was trying to look up some fund prices today and found that lacking a 2000dpi mouse made the job a lot harder with my new mouse i will work better and earn more money so pay more tax = my new mouse is good for the economy
