new mouse and keyboard

Tiamat21 · 4 Feb 2010 at 11:51

Well I've been using an awesome cheap logitech wireless mouse and keyboard set for about 5 years now and it never failed me.
But now, I just want something more "gameyer".
I've previously owned a razer deathadder mouse and that was sweet, but then gave it to my bro for his birthday.

So just wondering on peoples opnions of good keyboards and mice out there.
Am on no real budget, but just a set under £100 wireless or not am not to botherd.
Atm I'm thinking of getting these two. :cool:

Thanks.

Cant comment on the roccat kone mouse as ive never used one. I do have a saitek eclipse 2 though, great no frills keyboard, the illuminated keys are fanastic for late night use. I much prefer it to the more expensive logitech g15 on my second system.

I was highly temped by that, I do love the look of thw G series.
But the saitec has a lot more possitive reviews and wins on price.
But am still wondering on the roccat, as its pricey but I like the lights on it, as it matches the saitek and my computer as am going for a lighty show.
But am iffy on that or a razer series mouse.

Mouse wise, im using a logitech g500, upgraded from a g5, only way i reckon to find a good mouse, is to handle a few and see whats comfortable.

^hehe, happy to se you having the saitek keyboard.
Am hoping for someone with a razer mouse vs roccat experience to comment

My Weapons of choice are a MX518 & a Speedlink Ultra Ally jobby.
Two of the Finest components I have ever purchased that will only be replaced with the same.

i vote G15 + G500
but things like mice and keyboards normally go down to personal preference

Tiamat21 · 6 Feb 2010 at 12:19

hmm the G500 looks a bit iffy for me.
But the G15 is really sexy and temping for the saitek has better reviews

Might stick to my list

I purchased a Saitek Eclipse 2 and hated it. It just felt so cheap and tacky. I ended up switching back to my Original Saitek Eclipse 1 which is so much better.

As am I. I've came from a Saitek 2 and the 518.

The G500 is definately worth it the G15 is worth it if you'll use the extra keys

Get yourself down to your local computer shop or lan center and try out various mice.

Just don't pay their usually rip off prices

Hmmm I don't like the look of the G500.
The G15 and Saitek are my main things that am stuck against

Both have very good reviews but the saitek is half the price lol.

Mouse - Logitech MX518 OR Razer Deathadder (deathadder is better but more pricey)

Keyboard - Logitech G11 or Logitech G15 (depending on whether you feel a screen on your keyboard is necessary)

Had a deathadder, best and most comfortable mouse ever.
And I would 100% get the G15 if I had the cash, it looks damn well beutiful.

Well I orderd them two and their coming today!
Can't wait to test 'em out.
