Hello,

I got around $300 to spend in a gaming keyboard and mouse. I'm not sure what to get can anyone help me out? I love to play mmorpgs and mobas.

Thanks.

First you need to know what type of key action you like. You may like a $30 membrane chicklet keyboard or you may find a $150 Red Cherry MX is great. Head to a BestBuy or something similar that would have a few gaming keyboards out, and try them. Or order a key sampler online (they are farily cheap squares with several different key types on them to try). Generally for gaming you want Red or Brown keys, depending on how you like your keys.

For a mouse, there are 2-3 good ones for MOBA that are generally used, but ones that are good for games like LOL are not as good...

Keyboard does not really matter on mmo's and moba's. There is a cheap and excellent for the price mecha keyboard: Motospeed Inflictor ck104). As for mouse, get the naga hex v2. It has a lot of macros you are gonna need.

This is my favorite mouse so far for MMOs https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826249074 https://www.ebay.com/itm/SteelSeries-World-of-Warcraft-Legendary-MMO-Gaming-Mouse-PC-MAC-Compatible/263238617551?epid=2255465742&hash=item3d4a3e89cf:g:uS8AAOSwTIxZz-BC it is no longer made and is a bit light, but the shape and button placement is perfect I think. Also a few that look good is the Logitech G602 and Roccat Nyth which is modular so you can setup you own button sizes and layouts, and even use 3D printed custom buttons.
