I really like the combo, but isn't the dpi on the mouse a bit low? Will 2000dpi be enough for FPS games like BF4 and Crysis 3? Also, many people on the reviews are saying that the kraken rpo is very uncomfortable, is it true?
The majority of gamers misunderstand the term "DPI", a proper term which is "CPI" means Counts Per Inches, this number defines how many counts will be captured by the sensor per an inch. It has no impact at all of how your performance would be.
What is more important in a gaming mouse is its polling rate, that's what defines how performing your mouse would be. It has been proved that a range of 800 to 1600 CPI is more than enough, on the more recently new resolution (4K) at the very least you need 2600 CPI with windows sensitivity set to 6/11, this allows you to swipe across the whole screen by only moving your wrist.
So, don't pay any attention to how much of CPI/DPI a sensor can reach, because most of the time the higher the DPI is, the unstable and inconsistent the mouse will perform. (Which has a relation between Laser/Optical sensors, laser can handle higher DPI but they're inconsistent because the DPI is interpolated most of the time, while optical sensors have "true" DPI values, where it can be reliable and consistent when using it.)
The reason I told you that the combo is great is because of the mouse specs itself is more than the average need, it has an optical tracking sensor (which is superior to its laser counterpart) with CPI up to 2000, though it's lacking specifications regarding the tracking speed and input criteria (i.e.: if you can use multiple buttons at once, if you can assign macros and whatnot)
You should consider finding the actual model name of the mouse and look it up on the internet, check its flaws (negative reviews) then move onto the positive reviews. My definite suggestion would be to refrain from buying an overpriced "gaming" keyboard and focus on buying a better mouse then later decide on a decent keyboard, an office keyboard will do, unless you're a professional gamer I'd suggest getting a cheap keyboard that allows multiple keys to be pressed simultaneously. (not full/total anti-ghosting, just a keyboard with a similar small effect).
Take this in consideration when buying a mouse:
- It is recommended to buy a mouse with
an optical sensor
- It is recommended to buy a mouse with
high polling rate (500Hz or more)
- It is recommended to buy a mouse with
high IPS tracking speed (50 IPS or more)
- It is recommended to buy a mouse with
high acceleration (20g or more)
Try to avoid laser sensors unless you're playing games which require very fast movement (i.e.: Realtime Strategy games where you have to swipe across the whole map accurately)
Optical sensors are optimal for accuracy and precision as well as speed.
Just make sure to read the "negative" reviews of any product that you'd buy, to get knowledge of its most known issues.
Update: I recommend you to follow
Chickenator's suggestions, buy a Razer DeathAdder it has a consistent optical sensor with great tracking and acceleration speeds! this is optimal for low to medium sensitivity users for sure!
