USB 2 + keyboard and mouse

Hello

I bought the Abit AT7 motherboard which supports USB 2.0 and I'm looking for a new keyboard and mouse.

Is there any benefit in getting a USB2 k+m (if available yet as I cannot find them in the shops)? Would a USB1.x version be sufficient? Would I miss any features in getting a USB1.x k+m?

Also, on a lesser note: My monitor has USB ports on it, would these be USB2 or not? It's a Sony G420 and the manual only talks of USB, not versions.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Normally I would scour the net for info but I have just spent a very hot UK day looking for posibly non-existant peripherals!

Many thanks.

I don't think there are usb2 mouse and kb. Usb2 is backwards compatible with usb1.1 and I don't think there is a benefit to a usb2 kb or mouse.

I don't know anything about the usb hub in your monitor.

I would think usb1.1 would be plenty fast for a keyboard and mouse.
