Forums - PC - KB/M inputs for PC's connected to computers?

 Hey chartz! Anyway, I want to connect my pc to my tv. But I am wondering what I should use for an interface device.

 

ATM i only have the Wired mouse and keyboard that came with. But what should I do. I don't like to shop online or anything, so Should I get a wireless KB/M? Also, what should I put these inputs on?

 

I also have a notebook mouse laying around, if that helps. thanks everybody.

If you have a 360 controller, it's possible to emulate a mouse using it (though for wireless ones, you have to buy a separate receiver, which are expensive).

And alternatively, if you have Bluetooth, similar stuff can be done with a Wiimote or PS3 controller.

But, a wireless mouse and keyboard would probably be best.

I know you said you don't want to shop online, but the low prices of buying something like USB cables from a site like Monoprice is, in my opinion, much better than buying them at a place like Best Buy where you pay more for less distance.

If you're looking for USB extensions, I bought a couple of these in the fall.

*edit* - You could also try a place like Costco or Sam's Club for wires as well if you have the membership.
