Gaming keyboard and mouse

[B0rnSlippy]

Gotta agree with the above posters, the Deathadder is a great bit of kit, well worth it. Logitech also do some great mouse / keyboards to.
Id also been toying with the idea of getting a 'gaming' keyboard, but i can't seem to justify spending extra money on some keyboard lights. Macro keys are handy though, was looking at the eclipse3, but the side buttons arn't programmable afaik. A lot of people here recommend the Logitech G11 / G15

Saitek Cyborg has programmable macro keys on the side, not 100% about the eclipse though.

The MX518 is an awesome gaming mouse but quite old now and theres probably newer options out there

how much is you're budget? you've got more options if you have around £70 to play around with. I'd say that getting the right mouse is more important than the keyboard but you could go for say either the cyborg saitek keyboard and mouse (although the eclipse keyboards don't look bad, not keen on the build quality of the macros though) or a G11 and a diamondback maybe, i'm thinking of getting one of those belkin gaming tools myself but at the mo i'm using a cyborg keyboard and mouse which aint bad but not crazy on the keyboard.

I've been using the MX518 for the past 18 months and think its great. I have larger hands and it fits pretty nice.

I actually ordered the DeathAdder last night seeing as its at a great price currently. Looking at the comments above I should be happy with it.

Keyboard wise I have been using the Saitek Eclipse 2 for 18 months and really like it. The option of the 3 back lights is great (althought the blue light is not bright enough), also is a good weight and I do enjoy typing on it.

p.s. To anyone who has both, is the DeathAdder bigger or smaller then the MX518?
