Belkin Pro Series keyboard / mouse extender - 1.8 m

Advantages: gives you an extra 1.8 meters on any USB product
Disadvantages: none

...that could connect my headset to the computer and let me use it, and this is what I did. I trudged down to my local PC world and paid a little money for a 1.8 meter Belkin Pro Series USB Extension Cable and was very very happy with it when I got home. It is very well made with a nice thick rubber protective rapping over the wire inside so unless you cut it with a knife its not going to be damaged if you full on it a little or even a allot. It supports all standard USB ports with its well made male plug (the bit that goes into the computer) and on the other end of the cable has a nice thick female port (the bit that you will stick your USB device in) I have had no problems with this cable at all, it doesn't suffer from any lag and because it has a thick cable it doesn't snap or damage if you catch it with you feet while its laying on the floor...

Disadvantages: Not for people who hop from one game to another

There is a bit of a learning curve, but it's worth the perseverance. I've got very large hands, but the unit is adjustable and it's quite comfortable.

Advantages: wireless
Disadvantages: doesnt work properlly

...i bought this off my local asian retailer and have had nothing but problems with it from day 1!!! the mouse goes dead all the time which requires you to take out and replace the batteries to reactivate, which is a pain especially as i play a lot of poker online. the keyboard is just as bad in that it constantly misses letters out when typing, meaning you have to manually go back over your work and correct these mistakes. i tried replacing batteries almost daily to see if this is where the problems lay but still found the same problems. i may just have been unlucky and bought a faulty device but it is only 2 months old and my advice would be to avoid buying this in the first place. a total waste of both time and money! 1/10....
