is a budget of approx £50 reasonable for a gaming mouse and keyboard? i'm not an insanse hardcore gamer but would like a decent mouse/keyboard setup.

cheers in advance
 
I use a logitech G5 mouse and a microsoft standard keyboard, works great.

The keyboard is about £15, and my mouse was £40.
 
cool, i suppose spending more on the mouse makes sense, it'd be mainly first person shooters i'd be playing so would only be using the 4 four arrow keys and 1 or 2 others!
 
Exactly what I do. Use the arrow keys and a few nearby ones, I find the gap between the arrow keys and the surrounding keys means I don't lose finger placement when in the heat of battle.
 
I got the Roccat kone v2 and its perfect for FPS games.
I the on the fly sensity buttons are perfect for differnt situations and can't be presseed by accident and the 2nd laser kinda thing that calibrates to its surface makes it even more accurate <3
Just beware of its right LED as OC are a bitch about it being RMA'd for that reason.
 
G5 mouse and illuminati keyboard. Ive always spent more on mice than keyboard .
 
Get a cheapo keyboard and a Zfang Keypad :D There amazing! I have one my self and could NOT live without it lol
 
I'd recommend:

» Logitech G11 (I have the G15 and it's pretty good, nice layout, nice response, etc)
» Logitech MX518 (Perfect weight and 'feel' for me. I credit it for my pretty darn good aim in FPS games, flick headshots galore. Tried others but stuck with this one for about 3-4 years)

Really?

Also means your thumb and little finger are not near any buttons at all so you have to move one of your movement fingers to press something other than movement keys :confused:

WSAD has your thumb over the spacebar and little finger over shift/ctrl by comparison.

Something I didn't quite get as well. W A S D all the way I thought??!!

Slipperz :)
 
shift and ctrl pretty much the only secondary keys i ever use so directional arrows are fine by me, but i suppose in summat like cod mw2 with all your care packages and knifing and nonesense you'd need 'wasd' to take you closer to other keys

had a look at these last night, liking the look
 
not sure if this helps, but I found the silver material on the MX 518 to be slightly irritating to my hands-makes my hands very warm?!
slight hijack-anyone recommend a Logitech mouse without this material on?
 
Logitech G11 keyboard is on offer at the minute for 25.99. BARGAIN!
And ive got a steelseries gaming mouse that cost me £20 as it was ex-display, and I wouldnt swap it for any other mouse out there.

total cost for that would be 45.99. I currently have a bog standard 9pound microsoft keyboard that does the job perfectly. But the sexyness off the logitech for £25 is too good to turn down :)
