Logitech G15 keyboard and G5 mouse wins for me

Saitek Eclipse 2 & Microsoft Intellimouse Exlporer 3.0 do the job nicely for me.

Keyboards and mice are really personal preference. An awful lot of them do a very similar job, for me it is more about what I find comfy.

thank you very much! ill have a look at these

Anybody know the best place to see different keyboards and mice in the Bucks/Oxfordshire areas, a well known competitor of OcUK used to have them all on display but now they are all boxed up..whats that all about...

Anybody know the best place ... ******* used to....

You should edit out the name of that well known competitor to OcUk - check the rules.

Similarly no-one is likely to give you anything specific for the same reason.

A bit of a hi-jack as well !

What is it with OcUK Forum we all know these places exist.....I think I will have to stick to the AVForum at least you can say it how it is...

I just wanted to see and feel some keyboards and maybe buy from OcUK as I can't very well visit them.

just try and stay away from zboard

The tarantula looks good but way overpriced @ 80 quid plus.

I play rts, rpg and fps (mostly fps though). I use a razor krait and a logitech media keyboard and I love them both to bits. The mouse is very comfortable in the hand, its not quite as long as the copperhead which imo is good. The keyboard is just a bog standard job tbh, but its comfortable and the keys aren't to clacky but also not to soft.

MX518 is pretty good if you can get a hold of one. I prefer this over the G5, it feels more comfortable.

for mouse, it really depends, i prefer Razer to Logitech, but peoples choices vary.

 

[badnewspanda]

I believe the Razer Krait was designed for RTS/MMORPG's. Personally i use a Logitech MX518 atm

and whats up with zboards, i have had them since release and they are very good keyboards which arent stupidly overpriced like the standard tarantula keyboard

 

[Plethora]

Deathadder and G15 or a standard logitech media board

 

[mcc49]

I use the Deathadder with the Microsoft Reclusa keyboard. The mouse needs no introduction and the keyboard has a great feel to it, comfortable to use and has macro keys. I had a tarantula for 2 days and had to send it back cos it was really uncomfortable to use.

Erm, probably because OCUK is actually a shop, and they pay for the bandwidth used for these forums, so you abide by their rules...remember its a shops forum

I have a Razer Tarantula and a Logitech G7 and gaming is fine
