These are well-designed devices that may be ergonomically curved and are quick and responsive. For 30 to 50, keyboard and mouse combos often include batteries or have rechargeable batteries. They usually don’t have ergonomic designs, and batteries are rarely included. However, you do get a bunch of dedicated media keys, customizable shortcut keys, a number pad, and wireless connectivity. The cheapest wireless keyboard and mouse combos are available for 18 to 25.

You might even find that you like the keyboard enough to make it your daily driver. If nothing else, you're getting a backup wireless keyboard and mouse for under $20, and from a name brand no less.
