Keyboard and mouse combo.

Seem to remember a keyboard and mouse combo that was incredibly cheap (approx £30) can't be much cop at that price but I thought it would do for youngest son.  The board and mouse he is using just now are no-name came with the system jobs and they are starting to 'stick' so felt I should replace them with these really cheap jobs.  Board should really suit him as the keys are backlit (well you can see what the letters are rather than them casting a glow out the back [this should help his eyesight a bit as it is not of the best]).

Thing is I have forgotten where I saw them, who makes them, what they are called etc does anyone know what I am talking about and have any advice apart from "stay well away, buy an XYZ board (at £149) and a ABC mouse (at £70) instead. "

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Its good if you want it to look cool. Although the mouse led stays on even when the system is off. Only way to turn off the mouse is turn the psu off.

Thanks all.

 

Dominator certainly looks like the one I remebered.  Hope son appreciates it .  Will be the first new (computing) thing he's got as it is all hand me down stuff, mind you it certainly copes with anything he throws at it. Mainly Bus simulator(s) X2 and Euro truck II simiulator . He has special needs but is transport daft so...
