Hey guys, I couch game exclusively and right now I have a Logitech G5 wired mouse, Ducky Shine MK, and an old Sennheiser headset w/mic that I use only with the mic. My TV/gaming PC are about 10' away.
I like my mouse and keyboard in all ways except the need to drape a pair of cables out over the floor. My headset is not great but I use it for the mic only and run audio through speakers (5.1 surround).
If I wanted to upgrade to a wireless setup within a reasonable budget of say $100cdn per piece could I get anything worth having? Would they work ok? The headset speakers will only be used for the occasional game of CSGO as I find I can't hear footsteps when played over the speaker set.
My thoughts
Keyboard: G613
Mouse: G603
Headset: ??? Maybe forego wireless for this one and get something like the Logitech "G-Pro"? I'm sure other brands are very competitive in this field. I have a set of Sennheiser 598's that I could maybe repurpose if I can sort out the microphone aspect?

If you want to go with a completely different piece for wireless, the Corsair headsets are fairly well received. I believe Steelseries may have a wireless entrant also, but I haven't looked in a while.
You may want to check out Corsair's K63 wireless lapboard as well.
Now I just need to consider the wireless KBM combo

Zip ties and clippers go a long way. I'll run wires with track moulding on the wall sometimes too.
I've been using the zip tie method and it works well enough but the wife and I agreed that sitting in the middle of a busy room in our house we wanted the 4x 15ft long cables to be a little tidier when they are run out over the floor.
