Looking for help choosing components

Andrew D4

Hi, thanks for clicking on my post! I am looking for a wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, and usb-c/thunderbolt hub for my macbook pro. I am thinking of doing one of those clean setup things that Linus did a while ago and I'm just looking for some peripheral recommendations. For the keyboard I am looking for something that is wireless, nice to type on, and also cheap. For the mouse, something wireless, comfortable, smooth, and yes again...... cheapish. Lastly for the usb-c/thunderbolt hub Im just looking for something that can connect to the wireless keyboard, mouse, and monitor (HDMI). If you guys and girls have any recommendations for any one of the 3 parts I would greatly appreciate a response. Thanks again!

Budget and country? 
 

For the keyboard, any preferences on size or switch type?

 

For the mouse, hand size and how many buttons?

As long as you wouldn't consider it overpriced, any price is fine. I'm in the US

 

As for the keyboard, a compact keyboard or a 75% keyboard. Any switch, doesn't matter which one. 

 

I have medium sized hands and preferably 2-3 side buttons

also "medium" doesnt really mean much, but i'd assume you're not gaming anyway so exact measurements wont really matter, but preferred grip style? also any other preferences?

Lets say under less than $90 for the mouse, less than $100 for the keyboard and no budget for the usb hub. 

 

I just use a relaxed palm grip when Im working.

the logitech mx master 3/2s should be in your budget, as for the keyboard you can look into the keychron k6/k2 or wait for the k3 if you are interested in a low profile mech. if you are ok with TKL then the k1 and k8 may also be your options.

Jus to add if you are looking for 60% the Anne Pro 2 is an option.
