Hey next week I am getting £100 off my mum and she thinks I should get a new mouse and keyboard with that money.

So I like the look of blue backlit mice and keyboard but I want the option of using Macros on a keyboard which is just black.

This mouse is perfect but I dont know which keyboard to get. The G11 looks good for its price but the silver looks tacky and the Blue backlit Razor keyboard doesnt have Macros any suggestions?

o.O !!!!!!

I wish my mum would give me £100 for a new mouse and keyboard!

:(

The Razer Lycosa would match that mouse nicely, but as you said there arent any macro keys. I have no idea why they went from the Tarantula to making the Lycosa.

Even the new Saitek Cyborg keyboards are dumbed down :x. I have to hope my current one never breaks.

I'd suggest going a little over and buying one of these:

The Saitek keyboards used to be a good mid range, around £30-50 for macro features on normal cheap plastic keys, but the original Cyborg and Eclipse III arent available.

Yea, it looks like that or the X6 version would be good current choices. I dont normally look at microsoft branded peripherals.

I guess I will go for the Lycosa. Because the blue backlight just looks so calming :)

Macros arnt all that important just would have been nice in L4D2 when I see a charger etc...
