Hey guys,

I'm going to build my first gaming pc build a few weeks, and I need to choose a keyboard/mouse.
I need a backlit(preferably blue) keyboard and a good mice with 2000+ max dpi.
I am going mostly going to use the keyboard and mouse for fps games, games like gta which are third-person, Im going to use a Microsoft Xbox360 controller for pc which i already have.
I would like the keyboard+mouse to be under $50-$60 or less.
I'm currently looking at the E-3lue Mazer Type-R mouse and a Gigabyte force k7. Or the Cooler Master CM Storm Gaming bundle. Any other combos?

P.S. I'm also buying a headset and am looking at the Razer Charcharias. Is it good? If not which ones better?

Thnx.

Hi. Here is a blue backlit keyboard for $40: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA11P...
If you are to go over $60, then here is another alternative for $66 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

The second one is out of stock at newegg at the moment, but you could always use another site, as i just use newegg for examples.

For gaming mouse i would like to recommend the Razer death adder. You could find it for $40-50. It has a maximum of 3500 dpi, it's good in your hand (mine at least) and it doesn't have alot of extra buttons for MMO games. So i think this would be a perfect mouse for your case. :)  Also it comes with LED lights to match your keyboard. I think you could change the LED color (most likely) but this seems to come in blue.

And for the final: Here is a combo which is on sale right now for $58 dollar if im correct. It's a black blue backlit keyboard and a cool 2000dpi gaming mouse which matches the keyboard.

Hope this helped you mate!

When i comes to headsets i would recommend the Razer Kraken. It may be a bit more expensice than the Carcharias but it sure is neat. I have one myself and it's extremely comfortable to wear, the sound is amazing (probably the best sound quality on a gaming headset for that price) and it has a mic which you can pull out of the headset and push in when not in use.

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!

Thnx! I never knew that much on mouses, now i know a bit! I will check out the mouse in the combo and look at its specs/reviews the way u told me. If its bad, I'll take the razer death adder So any keyboard will do fine? Ok i will look into more cheaper ones like slim category.
