My sidewinder x4 is a 9 for comfort 10 for preformence 9 of the value of money and aesthetics is a solid 9. It is a pretty good keyboard with red backlighting, and has a wrist rest thats not detachable. I got it for $45.00 from newegg but it retails for $59.00 I would give it a +1

Peripherals are entirely subjective, what works for one person might not another. I recommend you look up on the different types of keyboards and the grip styles of mice, that will help determine whats best for you.

Mouse ergonomics guide. Before you watch, look at your hand and note how it is holding the mouse.

For reference I use a Ducky Dk9008 Shine II (Brown Switches) keyboard and a Razer Deathadder 2013 mouse.

hey, i was actually asking of peoples opinions of peripherals but thanks for the links i will check them out, i was actually looking at the deathadder 2013 mouse, but i have really big hands and my current mouse is way too small, my wrist is on the desk and my fingers go all the way over the mouse and rest comfortably on the desk the other side haha so was wandering how big the deathadder actually is?

Its quite large, about 11cm in length and at its highest point (just above the logo) is 3.5cm high. Don't know how big my hands are compared to average, but I have a hybrid claw/palm grip that I find works fairly well with it.
Most big chain gaming stores tend to stock Razer products, especially Gamestop and their international rebrands (EB Games in Australia). Usually there a stand where you can use them, so that's an option if you want to try it before you buy.

Logitech G19
- Comfort: 10
- Performance: 10
- Value for money: 8 (because the keyboard is not mechanical)
- Aesthetics: 10
- And overall: 10

Roccat Kone XTD
- Comfort: 10
- Performance: 10
- Value for money: 10
- Aesthetics: 10
- And overall: 10

Well, like manofchalk already said, it is subjective > I rated these products so high because I would not have bought them if I thought they were bad ;)

Thanks for the reviews of each, I like the g19 but for the price I would get a razar Blackwidow ultimate silent mechanical keyboard, but I do really really like the roccat kone and am considering that or the deathadder/ naga
