g15 and an mx518/g500

The G15 is by far the best keyboard around.

Im currently undecided on a mouse myself at the mo.

I have gone for the G15 and the G500

Cheers for the recommendations.

I so want a G19, but I just can't justify that kind of money on a keyboard, gaming or not. However Logitech and Microsoft are the only brands I ever use. Good choices mate.

That g19 does looks awesome but i am with you on the price. Its a little steep.

i love my zboard and had it for 5 years but swapping over the keyset is annoying so the above is ideal from my pov

I could never use that, Superficial. I've got WASD imprinted into my head, I would go for it every time and wonder why it's not working

exactly what i said (and, frankly did for a time lol) but after a week i could never go back.

no hand cramps or accidentally pressing the wrong key for me as the spacing is perfect.

anyway each to their own

Hmmm, I might have to think things through. I did have my eye on a G15. However I hold OCUK recommendations in high regard

Have a read of the reviews

My MX518 has just broke, but still the best mouse I've ever owned.

Awaiting Logitech's response, if its not good news I'll just go and get a G500 which looks even better.

i also thinking of buying the G19..from what i heard its seems like a good keyboard.

Azzy.. · 19 Jul 2010 at 11:17

Im not sure about keyboards but i have been using a G9 for the past year and it has never missed a beat..

To be honest i always go for Logitech their customer support is simply amazing

Filco keyboards with black MX switches are supposed to be good for gaming and rapid keystrokes plus you get NKRO with the PS2 versions.

+1mx518 i have one and it is ggggreat

If you can still change the order I'd get a Razer Deathadder instead of the G500.

Much better mouse imho.

reiyushin · 19 Jul 2010 at 23:59

G500 or the 518. The G500 is better but if it's worth the extra cost depends on how seriously you game

I'm using the G15 and it's a pleasure to type/game on.

AiiR · 20 Jul 2010 at 00:26

MX518 and a G11, cannot go wrong.

I'm a very happy owner with no problems whatsoever:

Razer Lycosa Keyboard

Razer Deathadder

Keyboard is awesome due to the low profile keys

The mouse is just epic.

Everyone always goes for the G15 and the MX518 but I've read several ppl who have had both the 518 and the DA and stick with the DA. All very good products. Price/Performance, the MX518 wins I'm sure but if you want better rather than cheaper, imo- go with the Deathadder.
