These worked out of the box on the RPi,

Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 with Built-In Multi-Touch Touchpad
(920-003070) <http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005DKZTMG/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1>
HK Mini USB WiFi 150Mbps Wireless Adapter 150M LAN Card 802.11n/g/b with
Antenna <http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008BZ40HA/ref=pe_175190_21431760_3p_M3T1_SC_dp_1>

You will need atleast 1200mA charger as you will be using both usb ports. I
got the keyboard & power charger (dual port USB charger) at the Walmart in
Morrisville (Shiloh Grove).

Will also need a HDMI cable to hook up to TV and microUSB cable to power
the RPi.
