What are THE best mouse and keyboards out? Because in the next few months I'll be picking up a new mouse and a new keyboard, plus a case for my new build.. but i just want to know what the best mouse and keyboard out are.. Keyboard is G15 if im not mistaken.. or is there a better one now? and i dont want the one where all the keys are programmable with displays and stuff.. The best mouse is either G7 or MX1000 right?

Yeah get a G15...over 50 Macro keys, an LCD screen that can tell you who's on Vent, what song's playing in WinAmp, etc...and the keys all light up.

As for a mouse...Logitech MX518 for optical, on the fly dpi-changing and 8 buttons. I don't know if you want to spring for a laser mouse though.

So the G15 bogs down the cpu considerably? then yeah I'll get a saitek eclipse maybe.. as for the mouse, yeah i want a laser mouse, so either G7 or MX1000... maybe G5 which is pretty much the G7 but not wireless.. razors are only optical if im not mistaken.. i'll think about it.. not like im getting them right now...

lol fuckoff the G15 is the best keyboard hands down, just disable the processes and set up which ones you want and your good...

You could get a G11, Its the same thing as the G15, without the LCD screen. Personally, I like the Screen and it dosent do too much to my processes.

Razer ~= Logitech. Just go for personal feel. If you want laser, and don't mind wireless, the mx revolution feels pretty good. g5's and g7's are both nice, but I miss the 2nd side button that's on the mx500 series (use a 510 myself) I <3 the logitechs, but if you're lefthanded your SOL

That aside, I like the ergonomic keyboards, so I'm f*cked on any of them. I think the LCD is a waste and would probably get a saitek eclipse2 if I had to go standard. Don't get a z-board. they're sh*t (got 1 for free, I was having trouble giving it away..)

Personally i love my razer and will probably stick with them. The problem with Razers is that they are not for everybody. The newer logitech gaming mouses are. Everyone likes those, while a lot of people dont like razers. If I were recommending a mouse, I'd probably be safe about it and recommend a G5. So anyway, Saitek II + G5 and you will most likely be happy.
