Setting up a new workspace at home

I am seriously thinking of moving my desktop setup from my room to the lab at school. I am planning on transitioning over doing my school work all at the lab so that I don't have it at home. But this will require moving my keyboard and mouse over to the lab.

But that leaves me without a keyboard and mouse at home. I would like to have a setup that works for gaming along with making the transition to wireless. And to me, wireless == Bluetooth since I have it bult into my laptop. Going with 2.4GHz wireless is pointless to me.

So, what are my options? Not good, really. Apple's Bluetooth mouse is single-click which won't work for a gaming environment, so that only leaves their keyboard which, if I remember correctly, has a good feel to the keys. Logitech has nothing I like. Microsoft, my preferred input device supplier, has a mouse that might work along with a possible keyboard/mouse combo. Problem is that the keyboard, like Apple's is non-ergo. Might have to go wired MS keyboard for ergo and then wireless for the mouse.

But then again going wired for one thing might kill the point and thus skip the whole wireless idea and just get a MS ergo keyboard/mouse combo.
