I love the RAT, and really want to buy one but how can anyone justify over £40 on a mouse?!

BTW, you've listed keyboards twice

Razargh · 16 Jan 2012 at 14:46

ahh thanks for that damn add on!

Doomedspeed · 16 Jan 2012 at 15:08

Any change you can do a cheaper option aswell.

Im looking to get a new keyboard and mouse but only with a £50-£60 Budget.

Im looking at the sidewinder x4, Good?

Jay794 · 16 Jan 2012 at 15:10

Maybe you should do some budget options aswell?

Razargh · 16 Jan 2012 at 15:12

YOUR BASKET
1 x Microsoft SideWinder X4 Gaming Keyboard - Retail (JQD-00006) £34.98
1 x Saitek Cyborg R.A.T. 3 3200 DPI Gaming Mouse £33.98
1 x Logitech G400 3600DPI Gaming Mouse (910-002279) £26.99

Choice of mice, both decent and the keyboard is highly recommended around the interwebs.

The X4 has been recommended a lot on these forums

There's also the G13 ( http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-154-LG&groupid=702&catid=23&subcat=1258 ) which is amazing if you have the patience to set it up properly. It's what I use and a cheap keyboard for typing.

Jay794 · 16 Jan 2012 at 15:13

ooo RAT 3 for £34.....although it's my birthday in June, I can wait

Razargh · 16 Jan 2012 at 15:40

Yeah I know, it's daft. I was thinking about it a while ago but when you can get the Logitech G13 for the same price which has more keys, a "stick" instead of the D-pad (which IMO is easier on the thumb) and the LCD screen, it seemed pointless to go for the Razer.

i'll keep this thread up to date so feel free to link this if anyone needs a mouse, keyboard and mat.

Defy Belief · 16 Jan 2012 at 19:45

Logitech Mx518.

Not sold on OcUK though, still love it to this day.

gropingmantis · 16 Jan 2012 at 19:48

No Zowie AM? Has just taken over from my Sensei/Xai hybrid as favourite mouse.

Hyburnate · 16 Jan 2012 at 19:48

G500 and Boogie Work very well together, and I'm thinking about buying that keyboard when its next on offer.

Ryan-3 · 16 Jan 2012 at 20:11

The arctosa ain't bad, but it's not that good to be in the list. + when some days you need to unplug and plug back in repeatedly for it to work, is very annoying.

Razargh · 17 Jan 2012 at 01:03

Removed it, updated the list.

Never had this problem with my arctosa, personally find it pretty good. Never really had a problem with it and had it for ages.

I could be the exception though.

Personally, for gaming, the sidewinder is a better choice, but if you need to type then the arctosa is better (although it's still a terrible keyboard for typing to be honest).

Also, since this isn't gaming specific, how about some more general none gaming options?

Razargh · 17 Jan 2012 at 02:26

Not much point in adding non-gaming ones as they all do the same job.

I had that with my lycosa. It's a shame as it's a brilliant feeling keyboard for typing and gaming.

Some have key ghosting issues, so it's nice to know which ones are compatible for gaming. I would add the Logitech UltraX Premium to that list in that regard, but OcUK don't sell those any more.
