As title really

Mouse - Want something with as many easily accesable buttons as possible really, have fairly large hands though so they need to be of a resonable size and not require to much 'finger yoga'.

Keyboard - Looking for good macro functionality mostly here.

Budjet isn't set but I do like good value for money though am happy to spend more if the specs justify it IMO
 
Mouse - I like logitech as I currently use on and had no real trouble, though the wheel is now a little iffy but it is 4-5 years old. Would prefer wireless for a mouse though (not bothered about keyboard).

The wireless logitech looks nice but those two buttons under the mouse wheel don't really look easily accesable :(

Got to say I'm not overly keen on the keyboard from the photo it looks like only about half it's macro buttons are grouped which is something I'd prefer.

Given my interest in macroing and after taking a look at the thread suggested and what is available, I might be better of with

One of these

or these

and just buy a functional keyboard for typing.

Anyone had any experience with those gameboards and what did you think?

I have used both and I prefer the Razer one which is what I have now.

However, they do take a lot of getting used to and I often find myself coming back to the keyboard.

I had it bought as a Christmas present (my request), and I have to say that I wished I had not asked for it now, I had forgotten how much they take to get used to.

If you are willing to persivere I am sure it would pay off in time.

The Razer is more comfortable than the Logitech to use plus it has the functionality of the dpad and scroll wheel.

I found the screen on the Logitech to be useful if a little gimmicky.

I do not use the macro facility so I cannot comment on that.
 
Personally I cam see advantages and disadvantages to both really.

The razor hs more programmable commands but less overall keys, while that would be good for my main game EVE (I could have a diffent setup dependant on what I'm doing at the time) in other MMO's I think it would struggle to handle a 3*10 quickbar.

Is the razors thumbpad usable as a substitue mouse because that might be interesting to be able to have my right hand free to do other things (NO not THAT) perhaps a macroable keyboard with macro keys grouped to the right.
