Just purchased a new Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition V2 Keyboard, however struggling to find a Razer mouse I like, and I think my OCD is getting the better of me, but it just feels wrong to have a different brand mouse to my keyboard. Especially with all this RGB stuff nowadays, want to keep the different number of RGB software installtions (Corsair Cue, Razer Synapse, etc etc) to a minimum,

What do you guys have? Anyone else feel the same when or just crazy old me? :D

Keyboard - Dell SK-8145. I like it, but it annoys the hell out of me because it occasionally misses a ctrl character when using emacs and make it go crazy. Its also pretty noisy and annoys people when I'm a call.
Mouse - Microsoft wireless intellimouse explorer 2.0. The scroll wheel is a bit stiff and its lost its matt rubber finish which degraded and needed scraping off. Still works though so I've still got it. Sometimes I wish it would die so I can justify getting a new one, but then I might buy one I don't like...
You think you're crazy! :D

I'm not really keen on the RGB stuff. There's too many LEDs in here already.

GPS signal not found. (11)
Coolermaster Quickfire TK limited edition and a Zowie FK1 mouse. Had both for a few years.

Agree about keeping the software installed to a minimum, Synapse, CAM, Cue etc just seem to be buggy pieces of bloatware. Fortunately, I can't stand RGB so don't have anything installed. It also means I am free from having to brand match and I can get the best mouse and keyboard for my needs.

Logitech G403 mouse and an iKBC F108 keyboard with MX Brown switches.

Wanted a backlit keyboard with dedicated volume keys and am very happy with my choice. Needs no extra software to control the RGB, though I have mine just sat on a solid colour.

No OCD on matching anything here, even paid a bit more on last build for a case with solid sides rather than windowed.

Logitech 810 Orion Spectrum keyboard (Romer-G switches)
Roccat Kova Pure mouse (needed an ambidextrous mouse with side buttons on both sides)

Keyboard I love, mouse I'm not 100% on still though... looking for an alternative and may just go for a right handed one.

Keyboard: Filco Majestouch II Tenkeyless w/ Brown switches
Mouse: Logitech G Pro (plus about 30 others in a drawer the wife doesn't know about :D)

I can understand the want for matching when it comes to RGB synchronisation etc. but it doesn't really appeal to me personally, I prefer not to install M/KB drivers or software at all.

KB: Logitech G19
M: Logitech G700S

However, I do use a Roccat Kova [+] at work and keep a Coolermaster Inferno mouse as a spare.
Brand matching isn't as important as function, features and general likeability, else I'd have Logitech headphones as well.
Matched, synchronised RGB is not a concern as I am happy setting all that (or indeed, if any) in the individual softwares for each peripheral.

KB: Logitech wireless MK250 (had it for years. I have a small desk so I can move it away if I want to study)
M: Logitech G502 (first mouse I've spent over £30 on, bought 4 months ago. Amazing)

If there was a mechanical keyboard you could disconnect at the keyboard, that would be most ideal.

Haha, unfortunately I suffer from magpie syndrome.

Next new shiny that comes along catches my eye, drives the wife nuts. Recently gave away four keyboards and a few mice to keep my storage drawers from overflowing (and the wife from enraging :eek:).

Best
