gaming keyboard and mouse! which one?

[jej_knowles]

Right im after a keyboard and mouse ideally i would like them to match and tie in with my other bits and pieces so they must be all black possibly with a touch of silver the keyboard must be illuminated and the illumination must be blue in colour.
What would you recommend ?

My setup was great: Razer Deathadder and Logitech G11. Unfortunately My Deathadder went wrong and on the way to RMA Royal Mail lost it. The G11 is still a great bit of kit, but if you can go anywhere to try these things I recommend that as keyboard and mouse taste varies a lot from person to person.

My setup also meets your criteria more or less. Both Black and black/silver with blue lights.

I had the G11 and Deathadder too, it was a good setup but I wouldn't go back to it.

Assuming your budget is as cheap as possible with still good quality, I would go for the:

Microsoft Sidewinder X4 39.99
Logitech G500 29.99

If you've got deep pockets, you might want to checkout these reviews on the Alienware TactX keyboard and mouse. Not cheap but that's Alienware for you.

Both in "stealth" black.
Both backlit with customisable colour options.

I've got the keyboard. I bought it to replace my old G15. Really pleased with it.

I recently went with the G15 and G500, very pleased with them.

This +1. I have the x4 and its a veur good keyboard. Can be had at £30 if you look around. Upgrading my trusty old mx400 to the g500 this week. Only thing is the illumination is red on the keyboard.

has anyone had a logitech g510? red illumination is a definate no no!

I personally enjoyed my time with the razer lycosa

 

[hartty]

This is a great keyboard, it has multi led lighting and you can change the colours in different area's + its has a bit of silver on it http://www.cyborggaming.com/prod/v7keyboard.htm

and for the mouse i would reccommend this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-003-RC&groupid=702&catid=23&subcat=1257

edit, Sorry never read the blue part

I dunno if OCUK still do them but Saitek eclipse II or III has varying illumination colours one being blue as you wanted, if i recall roughly £30. As for mouse id recommend Logitec MX518 £25 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-060-LG

 

[SubScape]

Razer Abyssus + Lycosa

I've got the Eclipse II and MX518, both tick the boxes and I'm very happy with them.

Probably the cheapest of the options posted so far.
