Wireless keyboard & mouse recommendation

[liz]

I want to buy bluetooth keyboard & mouse exclusively for Steam Link. There are a lot of existing posts but most of the time someone already has a setup that fails. Unfortunately, never found my way to get used to the Steam Controller.

So, can recommend anything which will definitely work? It would be fine if VirtualHere is a prerequisite. Doesn't has to be adequate for FPS, because I want to play slow games like "Civ6" or the new "Into the Breach" on my couch.

Ideal would be some bundled solution with couch table as the "Corsair Lapdog Gaming Board" or something like that.

the link works with any usb wireless keyboard/mouse combo
(you only need virtualhere for unsupported usb devices or when you want to give the pc direct control of the links usb ports)

this keyboard/touchpad is under $10 shipped

or the logi mk series are better for gaming but have ghosting (n-key rollover) issues

I was interested in some similar solution too, and in the end I opted for the Logitech K830. It's a keyboard without the Num Pad, but with a nice touchpad. Touchpads of course aren't optimal for realtime games, but they are good enough for strategic games, and they are much less cumbersome than a full keyboard+mouse set up on the couch. It's also very good when I switch it to control the TV / Topbox / NAS

This was by the way the only keyboard I had found with these features which I valued absolutely necessary for my needs:

- Bluetooth or Wifi connection

- Touchpad

- Backlights (I have an OLED TV and I WANT to keep the lights out during gaming or when watching movies)

Here it is, for reference: https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/living-room-keyboard-k830

..and of course I confirm it works perfectly with the Link
