New keyboard/mouse needed

AndrewPE28 · 13 Oct 2016 at 06:56

Hi

I've always had cheap MS wireless desktop sets. However with a nice tax rebate, I've decided to treat myself to a good RGB gaming keyboard and mouse.

I don't want a loud keyboard so looking at Cherry brown or silent. I'd like to keep media controls so maybe the Corsair K70 with browns?

Mouse wise, I'm left handed so need an ambi. Looking at the logitech K900?

I'll probably get a large mat as well, again for years I've only used the mouse direct on the desk.

Opinions, advice would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

Andy

Logitech non-gaming keyboards may have key ghosting, so watch out.

for left handed, Zowies are quite good. FK1+, FK2, FK1... Dunno if Razer makes left handed deathadders anymore. Logitech has teh G900 as well I believe. As for keyboards, mechanicals are noisy.

Decided on the Corsair Strafe RGB with cherry silent switches and a Logitech G900 ambi mouse.

If you are looking for a mouse mat get this:

Seriously this compares with mats 3X the price.

extended as in full desk size? If so then I don't think they do.

Pretty happy with keyboard and mouse. Keyboard will take some getting used to as the keys sit a lot higher than my old MS wireless keyboard. Seems nice and quiet though, but very positive to use. The RGB backlighting is awesome too
