Okay, with my computer parts on the way, I decided to get 2 (if possible 3) things with some of my X-Mas money. ($200)

I was looking around for a mouse/keyboard and fell in love with the Battlefield 4 (my favorite game) mechanical keyboard and mouse (Razer Blackwidow Ultimate & Razer Taipan)

So the keyboard is a bit pricey and as much as I like the clicky switches on it, I'm not sure if I'll like it after a couple months and the Cherry MX Browns are just as good and not clicky.

So I'm looking for a Cherry MX Brown mechanical keyboard

Next is the mouse. So I researched and laser mouses are not as accurate as optical and have strange acceleration issues (and I hate acceleration because I demand accuracy) Of course this is on a FPS Gaming note where I need to be precise.

So I decided to go with Optical. I looked around and found what seems to be the god mouse. The Logitech G502 Proetus. It has amazing features designed for fps gamers (such as a button that lowers DPI to have more control over long range sniping) I was a heartbeat away from buying it BUT I need it to fit my scheme!

My computer is completely black and red (Mobo, GPU, RAM, Case etc.) and my table is black and red, and my shelves are black and red. So this whole side of my room is black and red. Plus I'm planning on getting red LEDs. So the mouse and keyboard must be red/black.

I know the BF4 mouse/keyboard are not red/black but exception because it's my favorite game and it looks sexy as fuck. (and Orange is still my favorite color believe it or not)

So any mouses with the performance of the logitech and are red/black?
Same with the keyboard, any suggestions?
BOTH MUST BE UNDER $200
and maybe I can get a pair of 7.1 surround sound headphones too :)

Steelseries seems like the performance is out of this world, but not red/black :/ Rather have it red/black than my favorite color.

The Corsair comes with Red Switches, and yes there is a version with brown switches but the keyboard is gray and the backlight is blue.

Anything else?

I have the corsiar vengance k70 with the cherry mx reds, and red backlighting. The standard with mx browns is sold out (130$) but I think the'll be back in stock. It would fit your red and black scheme perfectly, and perform amazingly. I don't know about a mouse, but if you get extra cash I would recommend the HyperX Cloud Headset, for around 80$ (price is fluctuating on amazon.) glad I could help!

Thank you for your response Solinium, but I have resolved that problem myself and I'm going with a Rosewill Apollo (Red backlit, Cherry MX Browns) and a Corsair Raptor M45. Hopefully this'll do!

razer deathadder chroma, it's black and you can change the colour of the two lights on it (logo and mouse wheel) think there's 16.8 million different colours you can pick, any shade of red you can imagine ;) can change dpi with the macro buttons on the side too (100-10,000 dpi)
