The Perixx one I currently have has a slightly busted dongle and a completely busted mouse (both my fault) so I need to replace it. I'd get the same again, but it has a slightly irritating feature that the keyboard has no on/off switch, so I have to take the battery out if I'm taking it anywhere otherwise it runs itself out of battery as the keys are pressed in my bag.

There's loads of cheapy ones on ebay, but any particular recommendations?

Would you like a Logitech with a trackpad?

I have the K380 and pebble. Both nice to use. But I also have a Logitech triathlon mouse. This allows me to use on two computers with very simple switching. Someone on here recommend dongle for one and Bluetooth for the other and this works fine for the mouse. The keyboard works on BT fine. Logitech now make more multi-mice.

If you want lights jelly make a backlit set which is nice too. But I’ve used a K380 for years and they are excellent. I don’t often require a number pad. If you use one a lot, like for something bigger.

I have a fairly cheep Jelly Comb KUT019 keyboard and mouse combo linked up to my micro pc on the back of the telly. Both have auto power off and proper power switches.

Logitec MX anywhere 2 mouse.
Great piece of gear, one of those reassuringly expensive things. I was given one at work, and bought one for home.
It makes you realise how poor cheap mice are, given how much we use them, it's really mnakes it worth the expense.

this is a really nice Bluetooth mouse - compact but comfortable. A few years old and no signs of wear

Have a previous generation one of these - really nice key feel and small when in your bag

Both have on/off switches for travel

Appreciate not the cheapest, but they seem pretty indestructible

I understand the point of a 'travel' keyboard but not mini-mice, unless you need to store it in your shirt pocket a standard mouse is plenty small enough to go in a laptop bag/backpack surely?
