    Strange, I literally bought one three hours ago! I got a Labtec Media Wireless Desktop from Carrefour for €19.90. I know, not exactly £10, but I thought I'd throw in my "experience" of today :p

    Google's shopping results at the top list one of these at play.com for nearer to £10, though.

    It's a nice size - not too big, but not so small that all keys are mashed together and you hit Return when you're trying to use the down-arrow.


    But, being in the UK and thus not having access to Carrefour's amazing aisle of seven different keyboards, I'd go with Scan too :p In the link DaveTheRave posted there's five full keyboard/mouse combinations under £15... nice.
    Unfortunately, for such a budget you'll have to compromise, but the knowledge that the keyboard/mouse you're using cost you £10-15 and not a ridiculous £150 should make up for the compromise!

    If it has to be £10 or under, I'm afraid you're going to have to be very lucky or look to eBay, though. It's just... well, a low price. (But to be fair, I wouldn't be caught dead spending a whole lot on a keyboard/mouse myself.)

    I recommend against this, my mother has this set and the buttons are stupidly hard to press, especially the space bar.
