>Looking to setup a new PC running Linux Mint. Does anyone know if the Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse MK270 will work on it? Or alternatively, any suggestions for a good keyboard and mouse?

Should work OK: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Combo-MK270-Keyboard/product-reviews/B00BP5KOPA

That review also claims it will work at the BIOS level, which is always handy.

As for alternatives, I prefer "ergo" keyboards for heavy-duty use. For my main machines I've been using (old) Microsoft Natural keyboards exclusively for about 15 years now. For mouse, the simple wired Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical. I've programmed the wheel click to be a double-click which saves wear & tear on the carpal tunnel.

If you ever get any shoulder, elbow or wrist stiffness from extended keyboard sessions, give an ergo one a try. It takes about half an hour to grok that you no longer have to scrunch in your shoulders and twist your wrists outwards to get your fingers in the right position to touch-type. Just reach for the keyboard and start typing!

I can touch-type well on the Naturals as well as conventional keyboards which I've had to use on laptops, at client sites etc. I've occasionally had to use newer ergo keyboards which are not as radically ergo as the MS Natural. I find them annoying because it's like I'm trying to switch on the fly between Natural and conventional mode, and neither works :(

If you're going wireless use good-quality batteries and replace them on a schedule, not when the KB or mouse start to get flaky due to low juice.
