HP generic ergonomics keyboard and Gigabyte mouse.
After 4 years of hard work this keyboard is feeling less sensitive around the ASD, will need something new soon.

Mcgreag:
Keyboard: Steelseries 6Gv2 with a Filco Leather Wristrest
Mouse: Logitech G700 with a Steelseries S&S Mousepad

I am very happy with both. The keyboard is mechanical with Cherry Black switches which might be a bit on the heavy side for certain tasks. The new keyboards with Cherry Red switches seems interesting (red is like black but with 20% less force needed) but I doubt I will make switch.

I guess performance is the main issue.  But after that, the ability of the keyboard to withstand a coffee or soda spill might be worth thinking about.  No liquids on mine, but the cat likes to lay the keyboard sometimes.  Don't know why as it is not "warm" at all unless it is more comfortable to lie on the keys as if they were individual box-springs on a mattress.

The Microsoft Office Keyboard is also spill-resistant.  The key switches are not sealed, but if the keyboard is on a level surface, you technically can pour coffee onto the keyboard until it overflows and runs off the keyboard.   As long as you do not lift up the keyboard, the max level of coffee in the keywell will not reach up to the top of each key's opening into the interior of the keyboard where the switches are.   So, just take paper towels and draw off the liquid, carefully dribble water onto the keyboard to rinse it, and draw that rinse water off with paper towels and you are done.

Like Ultra_Magnus I use the same mouse he does for my desktop (I'm on my 2nd one) ... Though my reasons are different, 1st is that moving a mouse around was causing wrist strain, 2nd I had cats, 3rd limited space.

Desktop keyboard is a Kensington Slim Type .. due to the fact I hated using Vent & hearing clack clack of keys going on in the background.

For my Lappy I have a Logitech 2 button mico-scrollwheel wireless mouse ... I dislike using the touch pad.

Some cheap generic keyboard and RAT7

I have wondered if I should force myself to go over to trackballs because I can see the potential of precision increase (at least in my case my fingers beat the shit out of my palm when it comes to precision, thus the reason why a "claw" the mouse with my fingers and use high sensitivity so I don't move my hand much)

Also wonder why nobody have built a gamepad with a marble ball on the right side instead of stick, would make consoles more suited for FPS and even RTS.
