I use the Kootek Raspberry Pi Wifi adapter and Logitech wireless Touch Keyboard K400 with built-in Multi-Touch touch pad and it all work great.

The Wifi adapter was was under $8 and the keyboard I picked up at Sam's Club for $20.
I wanted a smaller all-in-one keyboard because I use my Raspberry Pi as a media device hooked up to my TV. I have multiple SD cards with different installs when I want to play around with different OSs on the Pi.

FYI, the Cirago bluetooth/wifi combo dropped about $10 on amazon and has
been hovering around the $20 mark. I can personally certify it works
very well on Pi (I got one for all three of mine)
