Hello nerds and other hardware well-informed individuals.
Well, the case is this... I've grown tired of my low-end membrane keyboard and wanted to move up my A-game.
I don't know much of what new and exciting hardware has come to light, but been looking around alittle.
I've always been a great fan of logitech products, but other products might do fine aswell.
You'll never know till you try them, right?
Anywho... My budget lies around $300, so ofcourse that's what I've been aiming for. But look away from the price range, as sometimes the expensive ones can be found on sale.
Well. Here goes..
Keyboard:
As for the keyboard, I've been looking at the Logitech G910 Orion Spark, and it was thankfully on sale, when I saw it. But I did not have the money at the time, so now... The sale is over and now it's kinda too expensive. If nothing better and more within my budget range comes along, I might buy it anyway.
What I want in a keyboard:
Well, first off. It has to be mechanic, as I've heard it increases the gaming experience alot.
And then I would also like if there were macro keys aswell, but not a must. Doesn't have to be alot, atleast 3.
The keyboard doesn't need onboard memory aswell, as it is stationary most of the time, and if I do bring it with me, the computer moves aswell.
Customizeable light in the keyboard would be prefered aswell.
For the Cherry MX... Well, I think Red. But as I haven't tried a mechanical yet, I don't really know.
The games I typically play are stuff like Diablo 3, different shooters (battlefield, the division and wildlands).
Mouse:
I've been checking out the Logitech Proteus Spectrum G502, which right now is on sale for $50, which it hopefully still is, when my money comes in within the next few days. But if it ain't, I'll need a good alternative, within the pricerange.
And for the mouse, well.. I'm actually not that picky, when it comes to mouses.
It needs a good response time, cabled (unless it's like the G900 kind of wireless)
It needs a few side button. atleast 2. Macro buttons aren't a must.
Customizeable light is again.
----------
Ones I've been looking at, but not decided, as I've read both bad and good reviews.
Keyboard:
ROCCAT Ryos MK Pro
Corsair Gaming K95 RGB
Mouse:
ROCCAT Nyth
ROCCAT Tyon
SteelSeries Rival 500
Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum
Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum
But as I said. My knowledge don't reach that far in the new gaming utilities.
So if anyone can help me in the right direction, finding something that would make my gaming experience more enjoyable, and within my budget. Then I would greatly appreciate it.
----------
TL;DR
What I want in:
Keyboard:
Macro keys (Atleast 3). But not a must.
Changeable light color
Mechanical keys
Onboard memory not a must
Max $150-$175
Mouse:
Atleast 2 side (thumb) buttons
Fast response time
Cabled (Unless wireless like G900 Chaos Spectrum)
Changeable light color
Onboard memory not a must
Max $120-$130
EDIT: I've changed my prefereces for macro keys. As they might lower my choices.
For keyboard they are still prefered, but absolutely not a must.
