Step 1: What to Look For

When looking for a keyboard and mouse, unless you want some special functions, you can get just about any cheap keyboard and mouse to get the job done.

Here are several tips to consider before purchasing a keyboard and/or mouse:

  • Ask your friends and family or ask around at work, you can usually find someone that has an extra mouse and/or keyboard you can have for free.
  • Use your old keyboard and mouse. Chances are they work perfectly fine as is. Why upgrade when you don't need to.
