Default Wireless Keyboard/Mouse Suggestions

I am looking for a new keyboard and mouse combo to compliment my newest homebuilt. I really don't know much about keyboard/mouse brands and types.

Here are my requirements:

Price: Below $50 (Mouse+Keyboard) (I am willing to fudge this if necessary by $5-$10)

Connection: Wireless USB

Style: I want laptop-style, flat, soft touch keys

Mouse: Also wireless, and ergonomic mouses are nice.

Other: I really would like volume control on the keyboard, but other media keys are not a necessity.

Thanks!

For under $50 you don't have many options.

I've used one of these and they're decent: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826105035

Or push the budget to its max and upgrade the previous one to the higher-model one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16823109030

Actually, I have figured, because I am getting a mouse and a keyboard, I will stretch the budget to about 75, maybe a bit more. Also, I do not have to get a combo, just a mouse and a keyboard.

At first it is, yes. But when you get used to it, it makes your typing much faster. I used to be 50WPM, and whenever I use a Wave now, that I'm used to it, I can get 90WPM or so. Currently at 85WPM on my G15.
