Keyboard/Headset

Right, I need a new keyboard and headset

Headset must be USB (as I often have music on speakers and Skype etc through headset), it'll mostly be used for gaming, Skype and some music.

Keyboard again mainly used for gaming, want some macro keys but not OTT, preferably media buttons for muting/changing song etc on Spotify, also want it to be relatively quiet to type on.

Thanks

Prefer one with a nice wristpad, currently have the Microsoft Sidewinder X4, always went with keyboards with quite a bit of a wristpad

I don't have a budget really, guessing the HS1 is no longer sold? Can't find it on OcUK or the rainforest.

I don't mind mechanical or not, as long as it's quiet and nice/easy to type on really.

Heavy gaming, but a lot of talk on steam/skype/forums etc too

Yeah never understood the different types so always just stuck with Razer/Microsoft keyboards lol

Been having a look at the headsets on OcUK

What's best of those two?

The SP-032 says it's based on the other with major enhancements, yet lower price? am I misunderstanding something?

I don't really like the look of the Corsair Vengeance, doesn't look as if it'd be all too comfortable and looks rather bulky if i'm being honest.

Any comments on either the SteelSeries headsets?

Recommended/not?
