Got my LCD at the lab

Now that I can dual screen at work, I need to get a better keyboard/mouse situation there. I still plan on moving my Kinesis to the lab. I think I will want to keep my trackball at home because of space constraints. That leaves getting a new keyboard for home and mouse for the lab (normally I would go for a mouse at home if I was still playing FPS games, but since I am not I don't need to worry about that).

So that means shopping for an ergo keyboard at home. I think I am going to hit up the Future Shop and see what there keyboard selection is like. Wireless is not a big deal to me if I am going to have a wired trackball. At this point comfort of the ergonomics and key feedback (e.g., how "clicky" it is; I want crisp keys, not anything mushy) is the most important.

For the mouse, though, wireless would be nice. I tend to have very large motions for my mice (i.e., the sensitivity is low). That means the cord can be a pain, so going wireless will probably be smart. The trick will be finding one large enough to fit my hand comfortably.
