New screen, keyboard and mouse

[Vy]

It's getting quite tedious to program applications on a 13" Macbook pro screen. It's enough for university and other misc stuff, though programming stuff that has a GUI is definitely a pain.

 

As I am creating a new StartUp and moving to an office, I decided to buy a screen that I could use in addition to the laptops own one. Or perhaps just buy two screens and use the laptop as a portable computer.

 

Anyways, what I need is:

 

• A big screen that supports MacBooks and preferably connects with a Thunderbolt connection and not HDMI.
  
• A keyboard with the OS X buttons (maybe I should just buy the Apple's one, thoughts?)
  
• A mouse that's compatible with OS X, though something that's relatively cheap
  

 

Because I've recently got a new car, I am on quite a budget right now. So I would everything to be quite affordable. Up to 250 eur. Though any suggestions regardless of the price as still welcome.

 

Perhaps you have something that you really like? Would like to hear that too!

 

Thanks.

This is what I use https://www.walmart.com/ip/Inland-70112-Gaming-Keyboard-and-Mouse-Combo/46824629 don't know if it techs your needs but it works well for being cheap.

A Mac keyboard is a little bit different from a windows one:

 

 

By the way, I actually found a rather cheap (35 eur) Apple wired keyboard. It's new and all so Ill be using that. (no compatibility issues and it's as near what I am used to as possible)

 

Oh and Ill be working in an office. With other people. Don't want the keyboard to make ungodly amounts of noise.

Wireless mouse option: Logitech MX master

Wired option: Logitech g403

 

Keyboard: don't really know what to say if you want a mac layout, but there are a bunch of affordable mechanical keyboards that are great for productivity

Thank you for the suggestions.

 

Though I probably should've specified that I do not play any games at all. I don't need something that's meant for gaming (or what they call power-using I guess)

 

I don't really need a gaming mouse & especially not one for 60+ eur, I just want a decent-ish mouse that works well. The thing is I won't be using it that much. I nearly never use a mouse when I programm, I use keyboard shortcuts because that's much faster than point & click.

So these are all wireless and are all really good products.

This mouse isn't a full blown productivity workhorse but it has 3 extra buttons that you can program to do things too. The wheel also slide left or right that can do things. And the wheel also has hyper-fast scrolling. It can connect up to 3 devices that you can switch back and forth to.

This keyboard is basically a copy and past of the Apple keyboard but it wireless. You can have up to 3 devices connected to it and it has auto-adjusting backlighting on the keys themselves.

This is a bit of an interesting product but it works really well. Basically it absorbs any and all light, florescents, incandescent, sunlight, it absorbs it all and that charges the keyboard. Basically a mac keyboard that has the extended numbers to the side and a solar panel up top.

The last one looks pretty good, the price is OK too. Thanks!
