Question Cordless Keyboard to go with G7


I'm thinking of getting the Logitech G7 Mouse for my new computer, but I'm at a loss as to which keyboard to get with it. Cordless is almost a necessity, ergonomic (wave) layout is preferable, as that's what I'm used to using. My main hurdle is that most cordless keyboards come as a set with the mouse, something I've already made my mind up about. Any ideas?

I am not sure whether a G7 is good enough for gaming because it is wireless.

For gaming,
get G5 or Razor Copper Head

G7 is a good gaming mouse, I'm sure of that. I need a good cordless keyboard to go with it.

1) Have you ever used G7?
2) I don't think good gaming mice are ever cordless.
3) I might not have gone with wireless keyboard/mouse even if I has more than enough money.
4) Anyway search in microsoft and logitech website for your keyboard and try to decide between a few models which you can ask here.

Well G7 is indeed a gaming mouse but quite heavy for those long CS sessions.
I think there is a cordless combo from Logitech which has G7 mouse.

who says cordless mice are not good for gaming... those were old days when the data from the mice could not be processed fast enough and introduced delays. if u still say that is lags.. then DOOD u havent tried it...

i use logitech media remote s510(mouse LX5) key/mouse/remote combo.
look here http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...ONTENTID=10711
this mouse performs real good in games(even though the LX5 is preety low end for gaming, it is more of a show thing)... i have never felt a lag at any time...

if u r buying the G7 mouse then go for a G15 keyboard.
look here http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...,categoryid=10

and buy a rumbelpad 2 wireless gamepad .. it is the most amazing gaming experience. enjoy the games as on a console.. every one knows that real gaming in not with key/mouse(except fps). once u have played doom/farcry/fear/quake u will need something different and then try prince of presia the two thrones, ice age 2, Marc Ecko's Getting Up - Contents Under Pressure, Manhunt,NFS-most wanted,(and all gamepad activated games) with the gamepad.. man u r gonna get HOOKED!!! just like me.

i bought it for 2000rs some time back...
see here http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...CONTENTID=9069

BTW the G7 and G15 are priced same.

Note: i think that u should consider that if u buy mice/keyboard as different product then their recievers will be different too. they will each use one USB port + one port for the gamepad(which is chump change for u when considering a RS5000+ mouse)

I went over to the Logitech Forums and there are a whole lot of posts by people with problems with the G15 - all sorts of problems - surprisingly many complaints are about the lettering coming off the key tops.
