Looking for cordless keyboard - mouse for playing games!

[Broomstick]

I am looking for a cordless keyboard & mouse that are good for playing
games. I've heard once that cordless KB & mouse are no good for games. Is
it still the case? I'm thinking of logitech but don't know which one is
good/best?

TIA

Have a happy day !

Logitech MX Duo. Try NewEgg.com About $75, good range
and hardly ever misses a key stroke. Jeff

All cordless keyboards/mice suffer "lag" betweee the PC and the units.

I was afraid of this. How much does it affect one's gaming experience?
If it's just a tiny weeny bitty lag, it's probably okay?
I've connected my PC to the TV in another room using a 10-meter video cable.
I am now thinking of extending the length of the keyboard & mouse cables ...
Hmmm any idea how far they could go? (I need about 10 m extra).

I've never had a problem with standard keyboard or mouse extension
cables, but they were only 10 feet or so long. I think you'd have to
cross your fingers if trying for 30 feet.

My MX Duo has no noticable lag. Of course nothing is as
good as a hard wire, but this is as close as it gets
IMO. Jeff

I see no lag on my MS cordless.

I'd give it a shot. Thanks for the feedback Jeff (also Yves, Plato & Steve).

I haven't had any lag with my cordless keyboard and mouse. I just bot a
cordless joystick and gamepad. Cordless is great.

The only laggy input device I have had was a corded touchpad. Using the
fast refresh rate cured that problem.

FWIW. My keyboard batteries last for at least 6 months, used every day. The
mouse is a month or two, I use rechargeables in it.
