I have just bought a new Windows10 desktop computer, but will actually be passing on my old computer ti our daughter.
I therefore need to buy a new keyboard and mouse.
Currently I had wireless models but that's not essential.
Which keyboard and mouse would folk here recommend please.
Thankyou

Logitech MK270 keyboard and mouse combo is surprisingly good for under £25 in my book. Have bought several of them for office and home and they work out of the box with every usb equipped machine I've tried, linux and windows, raspi through to dual xeon machines. Cheap enough that I don't want to cry if I drop a hot soldering iron onto one, like I did on Friday

I have a Cherry G80 keyboard on main home machine, which is nicer, but not really nice enough to justify the price difference in my view. Probably appreciate it more if I could type with more than 2 fingers.
Personally I much prefer trackballs to mice, so have Kensington Orbit on the main work and home machines.0 -

I prefer a trackball to a mouse too -- the Logitech Marble Mouse is great. And Microsoft Internet keyboards are cheap, but have a really ergonomic slant and a built-in wrist-rest.

Using both has got rid of my RSI better than input devices that are designed to help.0 -
I go this set years ago.

been fantastic.
if it ever breaks will look for something similar.
keyboard comfy and loads of extra keys.
mouse unisex and comfortable
mouse size can make a big difference to comfort.0 -
I recently bought two of these mice: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000NG02IQ
and these two keyboards: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005Z69DZ2, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BZTLHGG
Whether they would suit you I have no idea, but I've found them all comfortable to use and inexpensive to buy. How long they last of course remains to be seen.
The other advantage of these is they all use the PS2 port, thus keeping valuable USB ports free.0
