What keyboard do you use to type, and what kind of mouse do you use? Personally, I use a Microsoft Wireless 3500 mouse and a Microsoft 600 keyboard. ---

I use the keyboard on my Acer laptop I bought in Bangkok and a Logitech wireless mouse. ---

I have an old [Logitech G15 keyboard](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41IP1acPZxL._SX466_.jpg) that I haven’t gotten rid of because I like the on-board display. I am also using a Logitech G402 mouse. I have a G502 SE sitting in the box that probably won’t get opened until this one breaks. ---

Logitech K520/M150 wireless combo. Got it after using the same thing in a conference room at work and finding it to be one of the few non-mechanical keyboards that gives me sufficient feedback (I’m not a touch typist). ---

A Dell keyboard that came with my computer and an Amazon Basics wired mouse that I got guess-where. ---

I use whatever keyboard and mouse is available, exclusively. ---

A Lenovo [Y-Series](https://www.espir.co.il/images/itempics/GX30L02674_250420190952021.jpg) gaming mouse, and the standard Dell keyboard that came with my computer - with the caps lock key pried out. ---

I use the [Logitech MK270](https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-MK270-Wireless-Keyboard-Mouse/dp/B079JLY5M5) wireless keyboard and mouse combo. I use that one because it cost me 15 bucks. ---

People still use mice? I haven’t since I got my Magic Trackpad II. What an awesome input device! ---

I use my laptop keyboard. I loathe touch-pads, so I use a very old Logitech M325 wireless that has gone through two laptops now. The iMac has an Apple keyboard and mouse. ---

Logitech K330 wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. I used to use a trackball mouse, but wireless is better. I bring them with me when I travel, keyboard too, since I also loathe touch-pads and using the laptop keyboard means I brush the pad by accident half the time. ---

Built-in keyboard, Dell Latitude, Junker mouse, wired, 3 bucks, OTC in a plain brown box, apparently from a cheap desktop that was remaindered or something. ---

Corsair K70 mechanical keyboard and a Kensington Expert Mouse trackball. Haven’t used a regular mouse on my own computers in years. ---

I have a Logitech K750 wireless solar keyboard. Been working out pretty good for me. I think I’m on my third or fourth year with it. No batteries, haven’t had issues. The mouse is … lemme check … looks like Logitech M705. I think it was just some mouse I had lying around when the last one went. ---

BTW - The best mouse I ever used was the Logitech MX mouse (until they cheaped out and ruined it). It had a weighted free-running scroll wheel, which was a joy to use. But, the Magic Trackpad has it beat in every respect. ---

I have several wireless optical mice, all of them either Logitech or Microsoft. My keyboards are “Saratogas” — classic Apple ADB Extended Keyboard or Extended Keyboard II (with USB-ADB adapters of course) with the fantastic Alps switches in them. ---

Logitech Ergo K860 keyboard, wireless and ergonomic, and Logitech MS Master 2S mouse, also wireless, and large to fit my hand. ---

Absolutely hate them. Dragging my finger repetitively over a flat surface just gives my weird tingly and numb sensations up my middle finger and along my arm to the elbow. My body just doesn’t like them. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-mouse-and-keyboard-do-you-use/849063.md?page=2)
