Do you have any problems with your mouse and / or keyboard using Ubuntu?

Or if you want to buy something that works with Ubuntu, I think every PS/2 or USB keyboards and mice should work. Even other types might work, but most keyboards / mice have PS/2 / USB ports nowadays.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport lists some of the supported hardware.

I hope it was helpful.

You should have no problem with your mouse and keyboard, most are very standard(thankfully). The best way to test it is to grab the latest version 6.10 and try it as a LiveCD, it doesn't modify your system at all unless you decide to install it.

Best Regards,
