Last month i bought a new computer for about 1000$ (i5 3570k, 16GB of RAM, 2 TB HDD, Windows 7 64-bit, GTX 660 2GB) and I'm looking for peripherals.

Keyboard:

So, I'm saying it now: I don't like mechanical keyboards because I prefer when the buttons are flat and easy to press and I won't change my mind. I'm a gamer, but not a hardcore gamer, and the price does not matter. I think the Razer Deathstalker Ultimate is really nice and comfortable - my style. Should i buy it? I'm keen on keyboards with some (3-10) extra buttons or an LCD panel. What is the best one?

Mouse:

Well, I'm a fingertip/clawgrip user, but I've had mice with the palm grip and it was OK too. I like when there are some (2-6) extra buttons, I have never used a mouse mat, but I can buy one. I really dont care about the money, I can buy the same mouse once a year if it's good. I use a big, 40" screen and I don't know what DPI I want, but not too much - I guess you can change it after you've bought it, especially if it's a Razer mouse - I've heard they have a good program to change it. Oh, and I do care about the looks. A wireless mouse has a littlebit of delay that can ruin games, so I don't want that. A Razer mouse + Razer Keyboard will work nice together.

The two mice I have been thinking about are:
Razer Mamba (I know it's wireless, but you can wire it)
R.A.T. 7
Razer Lachesis

Finally:

I want it to be very comfortable.

Thank you for all the help!

just couldn't find a decent non mechanical Razer one, this one has multiple colour backlights and i like the look of it


Well, thanks for the reply, but this keyboard does not have flat, low, laptop-like buttons. I like the mouse.

How do you feel about the Sidewinder x4? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... I heard a lot of good things about it.
The Razer Deathstalker also looks to be flat and low http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-keyboards-keypads/razer...
Same with the Arctosa http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-keyboards-keypads/razer...

Yeah, I think I'm gonna buy the Razer Deathstalker Ultimate. But will a non-razer mouse cooperate with the keyboard?

Absolutely. The mouse and keyboard are independent of each other in most situations (unless you're using 2 2013/2014 Razer products with Synapse 2.0 software).

That's what I was talking about. Is the cooperation big or just symbolical?

Symbolical, definitely. It does look cool to have 2 black and green Razer products beasting up your gaming space, but your peripherals dont NEED to be from the same company. You can get a Razer keyboard and a SteelSeries mouse, etc.
