I am getting either a Sager 5680 or 8890 when they are released. Since I plan on gaming with it I will also be purchasing a wireless keyboard and mouse. Which wireless keyboards and mouses do you guys reccommend?

Get the combo from logitech with the MX700 wireless mouse and the wireless keyboard...sorry that i'm too lazy to look up a link. Try www.newegg.com

Becareful when getting wireless for gaming...there is a very minute amount of lag between when you move the mouse and when the cursor moves, especially if you are a distance away.

Also, if you plan on LANning, wireless mice often do not fare well, as I have experienced, unless the reciever is almost right next to the mouse.

I have a Logitech Cordless elite Duo and there is no lag at all.

wireless is definitly not worth it. Costs way to much and all you get out of it is not having to deal with wires. If you play games a lot you'll be changing batteries at least twice a week. And there definitly is a lag, hard to notice but you will in past paced fps.

The Logitech Cordless MX Duo is the way to go. I own it and I think it is the one JeffL is talking about too. No lag at all. The mouse is exalent. Here is the site.

By no lag I mean no lag. I play "fast paced fps" all the time, and still no lag. ever. I am curently using it on a desktop, but that shouldn't make any difrence. Also no dealing with wires is worth alot when you are travling.

EDIT: Correction. the elite due that JeffL was talking about is a diffrent duo. It's link is here.
