Genuine Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Optical Mouse - £20.49 inc

rdwarr

Yet another £20.49 deal, this time from eBuyer.
It's the Microsoft Wireless Black Optical Desktop 1000 - USB and the price includes VAT and shipping.

These normally go around the £30 mark so it's a good price on a quality product.

For those who prefer Amazon, it's also available there for £19.98 (incl VAT & free delivery). G

Edited to update the price, which has decreased since the original post - thanks Roger_Rampant

I have one of these and even though the wireless receiver is literally a couple of feet from the mouse and keyboard it is forever losing the connection, especially when the computer is doing something that is processor intensive. I have to click up to 5 times to get the cursor to register and sometimes will have to type a message 3 or 4 times before it makes any sense, I also get a lot of repeated leeeeeeetters (something like that).
This is with a new battery in the keyboard and Mouse.

I had this problem and it was down to interference (poss from wireless router) - I moved my sender unit and found a location where it worked ok (also moved router and a TV away from the PC a bit too)

Will give that a try thanks, never gave my Wireless router a thought

It also uses the same frequencies as some toys. Everytime my son used his remote control car, I'd lose control. Very frustrating!

Spot on...had this problem too as my router was between the receiver unit and keyboard/mouse......moved the reciver unit out of the path of the router and its been fine for the past year...great product and good price....paid about the same at PC world a year ago.

Im guessing these are not rechargable? Could anyone who owns this tell me how often you typically have to change the batteries? If the pc is used for about 2-3 hours a day. I like the look of this but would be put of if I needed to change the batteries everymonth.

I got one last week - very good value - Amazon Super saver post free still arrived just two days after ordering! The same set is over £30 in Tesco for example -
