Hello,

Does anyone have any recommendations on a keyboard and mouse they use with the deck? I love the control scheme of the deck but some games just require a keyboard and mouse to be more enjoyable.

I got a laptray for a laptop which should be big enough. Always welcome any suggestions on those as well.

Thanks!

It depends hardly on the kind of keyboard/mouse you want. My recommendations, based on workstation I'm keeping at home:

Keyboards

  • Logitech K780 (as @supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz said)
  • Logitech MX Keys (full or mini, if you don't mind about numpad), this is my top keyboard atm, the one I'm using as developer mostly.
  • Logitech G413/G413 TKL (wired, but works nice out of the box, mechanical, perfect for gaming and typing)

Mouses

  • Logitech G203 (wired, works nicely on Linux too)
  • Logitech M650 Signature (my favourite mouse, actually)
  • HP 430 Bluetooth Mouse (works nicely, and does not require dongle because it works throught USB)

Extra

Logitech devices use to have all-in-one dongles, so you only need one for connecting all devices, saving you some USB ports. The unifyied dongle looks like this.
