    I've had it with wireless keyboard & mouse, so sick of running low on batteries when it's most inconvenient.

    Any recommendations for a proper wired keyboard & mouse combo? For everyday use and gaming.

    Also, what online shop to go with? Amazon, Elara?

    Too many options out there.

    Mouse: depends on how much you want to spend.

    In order of increasing price, I'd recommend: SteelSeries Rival 3/Prime, Endgamegear XM1r, DeathAdder V3 (also note that a TON of wireless mice have ultra-soft cables now so you could leave them plugged in at all times).

    Keyboards, I recommend a 75% layout such as Epomaker EP75/TH80/TH80-X unless you absolutely must have all those extra keys. I also recommend getting a mechanical keyboard with hot-swap so you can change the switches if you don't like the sound/feel.

    AmazonUK is usually best, though Akko Gear makes cheap & quality keyboards with decent shipping and constant sales promotions.

    Keychron also are great value for keyboards. Their mice have good specs but haven't seen any reviews.

    Logitech g502 hero . Very good wired gaming mouse for 50 euro . Can always go a bit cheaper and get a logitech 203 for 30 euro . any mice for less than 30 euro is hit or miss in my book when it comes to quality .

    Keyboards are another story . It all about what you want and what your will to pay for . Again to get a quality wired keyboard anything over 40 euro and you shoiuld be good to go . IF you want an under 30 euro keyboard ovoid the RGB or anything saying 60% mechanical . They are usually gimmicky keyboards and dont feel very nice to use .
