Hi guys,
Looking for a budget bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo. Needs to be bluetooth as laptop has only 2 USB ports and wanting it to be as practical as possible between portable and desktop mode.
Haven't been able to find anything under $100 though, any ideas? Doesn't need to be fancy.
I've looked through both those. Most use a receiver. There's only the Microsoft Designer combo $89 that's <$100 at MSY, nothing at Officeworks.
I use a Xiaomi bluetooth mouse. Zapal sells for $21
might buy a Logitech K7809, this one posted by O O for $55.20
Xiaomi mouse is not very ergonomic, but it has a very flat shape and fits easily into a shirt front pocket.
just found a Logitech BT mouse for sale as well, M557

M720 Triathlon (maybe you should post this as a bargain, as it looks to be the cheapest in Static ice)

Thanks! Logitech M557 + K7809 @ $82.40 is the price to beat.
Go Logitech. They are the best in the business. You can also use the same receiver for the keyboard/mouse with their unifying receiver so you can free up a USB port.
Does it have to be a combo?
I would get some of the cheap combo deals floating around ~$20-30 but they all use a receiver, even 1 port is precious on a laptop.
Doesn't need to be a combo, just the cheapest bluetooth keyboard + mouse I can find.
You would only be using a single USB port if you get a Logitech mouse/keyboard with their unifying receiver. Leaves you with the second port free to do whatever you like. Do you really need two ports to always be free?
Having only one port is pretty cumbersome. I'll have a portable HDD plugged in, and I want the freedom to plug something else in e.g. phone.
Do you have an optical drive? Do you need it? Replacement it with somerhing like one of these to give your self additional USB ports. https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=13471
Or hack your laptop and add more USB ports like in this post
