Gaming mouse and keyboard

BMF96 · Apr 8, 2013

What are some of the best gaming keyboards and mice up to about $70 each? I was looking at the logitech g9x mouse and logitech g110 keyboard a few months ago but never got around to buying anything.

I play fps games, mmo's, and rpg's, so I'm mostly looking for all around stuff.

I counter-recommend Patrick's recommendation.

There is absolutely NO point in spending money on a "gaming" keyboard unless you're buying a mechanical board - otherwise you're spending $50 for lights under the keys that you shouldn't be looking at anyways.

unless you just LOVE rubber domes and a few extra macro keys XD

I've got macro keys - it's called my number pad.

As for rubber domes, well... if you love typing on them, and have tried typing on a mechanical keyboard, I have a nice padded cell waiting for you.

I like the macro keys and the record button for recording gameplay, but he can get whatever he wants.

I definitely want some macro keys, doesn't have to be alot. I prefer the extra buttons on the mouse. What exactly is rollover? I'd like to have backlight. I've read that mechanical is better than rubber, so I guess mechanical. I generally use a fingertip grip. I think my hands are a little bit bigger than average for a man.

I'm not really sure about laser or optical. I think laser would be better, but I haven't been able to find a definite answer.

A backlit Mechanical keyboard with macro keys will cost quite a bit more than 70 dollars however

If you palm your current mouse, then I would highly recommend the Razer Deathadder 2013 edition, which is around $50-60. My keyboard is a Corsair K90, which is out of your price range, but I would recommend a mechanical keyboard if you plan on buying a gaming keyboard.

If you do decide to save up more and get a mechanical keyboard may I recommend this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823114026&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Keyboards-_-N82E16823114026&gclid=CJ-Vg9Hbu7YCFcw7MgodsxgAyg

bigcyco1 :

that site recommends a Vortex KBT PURE LED Backlit Mechanical Keyboard (Black Cherry MX)

Is this a good keyboard for $100?

BMF96 · Apr 8, 2013

How does this one compare to the vortex?

BMF96 :

Whatever it recommends is good for you as that's the whole point of the test Did you answer every question it's pretty important lol.

BMF96 · Apr 8, 2013

What is the difference between red cherry mx and brown cherry mx?

jeppishh · Apr 8, 2013

I'd recommend you take a look at the Roccat Kone XTD Mouse it is currently 75 dollars on amazon
