Having incredibly considerate relatives (well, not my parents lol) they are spamming my email asking what I want. Well, the question is: WHAT DO I WANT? 
There are quite a few things I'd sort of like, but none are really that important, and I'd like to get input on what models are good, and what I should prioritize?
Alright, here come the items
1) some sort of a good/decent mouse. My current mouse is a GENERAL ELECTRIC mouse using that super old input port. Any advice on like a $30-40 mouse good for gifting
2) Same with keyboard, although preferably cheaper, some equivalent to that samsung keyboard they use in korea.
3) Some sort of cheapish but decent mic/headset
My parents are ripping into me over not getting back to thme quickly, so help me TL!

When in doubt, ask for money.

I think that's a tad offensive, but maybe that's just me?

For their eternal love and affection.

For a mouse, you can get a Logitech mx518. Keyboards will never be as cheap as 30-40. You can get a nice altec lansing headset for like 30.

Just ask them for gift card(s)?

You can get a ton of quality keyboards for less than 30 dollars, as long as you don't want a mechanical or one with a ton of flashy lights and macro keys.

Bypass the keyboard and mouse as parents will inevitably get you the "wrong" one, ask for a TL shirt (make that two, you need one to wear while one is in the wash)! If you already have at least 3 TL shirts ask for comic books, those always make great nerd presents!
Surely you will get money from your grandparents or something, you can use that to later buy a desired mouse 
Happy Holidays!

Gracias. I can't stand comic books t.t

If theres nothing that you want that's really important, ask for them to make a charitable donation

sounds aboutj right tree hugger
Apart from that, might be good to just choose a mouse/keyboard for myself. I have like 5 grand in the bank :/

I'm in the same situation... Probably going to ask for a good camera so I can show my lovely face to viewers during shows every now and then.

Yeah. I have a shitty camera, but if I got a nicer camera my internet couldn't handle it.

I don't have small hands, but I don't see how having them would ruin how amazing the mx518 is? Been using mine for 5 years now

Is there any good steelseries mice/keyboards I should consider?

Holy shit, relatives ask you what you want as a gift? Awesome.
