Looking for a backlit keyboard and good mouse for normal and gaming use recommendations?

I was thinking the logitech G110 but its been discontinued

A Wireless mouse is a good bonus so the cable does not get in the way.
I've had the razer mamba but the battery was rubbish,

Im thinking of the logitech performance but it only has a dual 1500 dpi would i need any more for normal gaming or online gaming ?

Does anyone have any other options

For the mouse wait for the Logitech G602 to come out its a gaming mouse with 250 hour battery life.

As for keyboard, coolermaster mechanical keyboards are reccomended a lot and are more affordable than other mechanical keyboards.

I was thinking about the Logitech G602 but its not rechargeable and it only works on AA battery, so im not sure how true the details will be.

coolermaster mechanical keyboards do you have any in mind ?

I'm using the G110 and find it a really nice keyboard. Should be possible to pick one up second hand?

What sort of games do you play?

batman, skyrim, C.O.D not a lot, im playing bioshock now.

I cant find any used ones that are worth buying, £69.99 for a discontinued, £30 for a damaged faulty one,
I can get a Nordic layout one but Im not use due to the symbol keys

This is very much personal preference and don't take it as gospel but I tend to avoid Razer stuff. My understanding is they have a mixed reputation regarding longevity and I've personally had some issues with their Naga mice so these days have just gone with Logitech.

Are you desperate for wireless? My understanding is that there is a performance drop between wired and wireless mice and most peripheral makers tend to focus on the wired mice for their gaming peripherals. If it's aesthetics wouldn't you want both to be wireless?

No im not desperate for wireless but its a bonus, I always get the wire my mice snagged or stuck or in the way when using them for some reason,
Ive had the original logitech mx mouse and it was the best wireless mouse I ever used, if I can get best of both worlds why not,

but i'm open to options it can be a good wired mouse, price will also make a difference

Currently I'm using a razor naga mmo mouse and razor blackwidow keyboard. Keyboard may be changed to a Q-Pad shortly as it's starting to play up and the QPad is deadly silent for a mech kb.

I'm using a CM Storm Quickfire TK and a Sharkoon Drakonia Mouse and love them both. I used to use a Logitech G110 and though it was ok I really wanted a mech keyboard and havent looked back since. The only things the G110 had that my Quickfire TK doesnt is macro's and USB/headphone pass-through, none of which I ever used anyway. You can get a CM Storm Quickfire TK with a choice of either brown, red or blue Cherry MX switches for around £70 and a Sharkoon Drakonia for about £25. I can't think of a better setup for under £100. Also if you dont like the colour of the Drakonia the Perixx MX-2000 (black) and the Perixx MX-2000R (red) is the same mouse with a different branding and different colours but the same price.
