So I have a bunch of credit at play asia ($20) and have decided that I would really like to get a wireless keyboard and mouse. Spending as little on top as needed. I use Linux (ubuntu) and windows for gaming, do things like this have issues with linux, or is it just like any keyboard?
I'm looking
here and seeing a bunch of "Wireless Laser Desktop X000" including a wireless keyboard and mouse, made by Microsoft. Does higher number mean better, if so, where is a good place to aim for.
Are these good, I will be gaming so need a decent mouse (but find my current genius dirt cheap optical mouse fine sensitivity wise, except the left button is breaking)
Is "English" version meaning it will be a UK version, or will it be American (and is there a difference? I know France and Germany have different configurations)
Are these prices good? You may know me as "the bargains guy" but when it comes to something I know nothing about I am pretty much useless
Cheers.

I gave up on wireless peripherals until Bluetooth. Bluetooth is awesome. But it's expensive. If you're looking for wireless peripherals as a must, I'd suggest simply waiting until you can afford bluetooth gear.
ETA: since gaming is an issue, I wouldn't even consider anything but bluetooth.
If you ever need to talk to someone, feel free to message me. Yes, that includes you.
I have a friend who plays the UT series pretty competitively, and he wont go near wireless though. Not because of the latency (which I persoanlly have not experienced any noticible difference with), but because of the different weight the mouse carries. I can agree with that, since 2 AA batteries more or less double the weight of the mouse.
