What size KB do you want?

What kinda switches do you need?

How about your hand size?

How many buttons do you need on your mouse?

Do you prefer comfort or accuracy with a mouse?

I'll compile a list if you can answer these.

Here's some additional info if you are confused about anything.

 

Keyboard Sizes vary, but the three most popular are Full Size (With Number Pad ) and TenKeyLess (TKL for short, without Keypad) and 60% (Basically only the Main Keys, which would be your Alphanumerical set).

Deciding on what size is right for you involves taking a look at what you do on your PC (and if that's mostly gaming what kind of games you play), but the safest bet is always a Full Size if you want all functionality.

 

Switches are important because of the feel you want. Here are the ones you need to know.

Membrane: Your regular keyboard switch, not very preferable as it isn't tactile and feels less good.

Blue: Loud and tactile switches, best for typists.

Brown: Quieter than Blues with the tactility.

Red: Fast switches that have no tactility, but are best for gaming as you can easily maneuver your keys.

 

For mice, larger mice are generally more comfortable, but less accurate. If you play most shooters (FPS, TPS [Stuff like Fortnite], and TDS [Hotline Miami and such]) you will want a smaller mouse, as you can generally move faster with less in your way. Keep in mind this is personal preference though. If you like a large mouse you can still have good aim.

Who needs fancy graphics and high resolutions when you can get a 60 FPS frame rate on iGPUs?

Here's what I think. If you want the Keyboard purely for the RGB, the Cooler Master Masterset MS120 will get you there, with decent mechanical feel. The Logitech G203 is a fantastic mouse for the price, and these two products come in under your budget. Any comments or complaints or other requests, I can help you with.

I know, but it’s the best Full Size RGB Keyboard in your budget. The mouse isn’t great in the combo, so I added a Logitech mouse. There’s no software, if you want that I can find you something.
