Microsoft's Sidewinder X5 might not be the most advanced or feature-filled gaming mouse on the market, but its combination of precision, customisable buttons and comfortable design makes it a worthy choice nonetheless.

A pretty impressive gaming keyboard; for macro freaks, the 90 programmable keys should prove very enticing and the host of controls combined with the detachable number pad make for a very flexible unit.

This mouse combines precise tracking technology with a decent design. For the average user the mouse certainly isn’t revolutionary, but it’s a reasonable cost for a decent improvement in precision.

The V450 Nano is ideal if you are after a basic notebook mouse and its long battery life makes it especially appealing for frequent travellers.

A tiny Bluetooth keyboard to control your media centre is a cool idea. However, the diNovo Mini is hard to recommend, particularly given its relatively steep price. If you're paying $200 for a keyboard it better be damned good and the diNovo Mini isn't in our opinion. It looks kind of cute and the backlighting is somewhat funky, but all up we'd prefer a normal remote control and a full-sized wireless keyboard hidden under a cushion.

You’ll have to get past the marketing gibberish on the mouse’s packaging, but this is an affordable and reasonable gaming mouse. It certainly isn’t for the hardcore gamer, but the Falcon is a decent option.

The Emprex Cheetah 9051H may have style, bling and expandability, but this gaming keyboard fails to provide a better gaming experience.

The SpaceNavigator for Notebooks is of limited appeal to most 3-D creatives — but if you're in its target market, you may find it invaluable.

If you aren’t hell-bent on a wireless keyboard then the Digital Media Keyboard is an excellent option, particularly for Windows XP and Vista users.

The Wireless Laser Desktop 3000 is a keyboard/mouse combo that offers comfort, ergonomics and intuitive software in a single package. Microsoft's higher-end products are better designed, but this package is decently priced and is fine for everyday use.

Another solid wireless peripheral package from Microsoft, the Wireless Laser Desktop 7000 offers a great combination of comfort, style and features. We'd have liked to see the keyboard match the mouse and come with a docking station for charging, but other than that this is an attractive package.

If you want to add Bluetooth connectivity to your PC and are after a low-cost, small and stylish device, the MoGo Dapter fits the bill.
