[Solved] Gaming mouse

I am leaning towards the Razer Deathadder for a gaming mouse.

I hold my mouse with a claw grip and this looks like it will be perfect for playing BF3 and Guild Wars 2 when it releases.

Thoughts?

Love Razer aesthetics and ergonomics.
Hate Razer reliabilty they have issues in my experience.
Bought a Lycosa kb and Deathadder.
Both were RMA'd within 1yr of use.
I have Microsoft and Logitech peripherals well over 10 yrs old that never had 1 issue.
The Deathadder is a great mouse you might luck out.
Mine had the sticky mouse 4 button known issue.
The new G400(MX-518 update) looks very nice.
My MX-518( 8yrs old )still works flawlessly.

hmmm, I will take my chances I think.

What are some keyboards you would recommend?

I like the Lycosa, but the LED light up is pathetic.

I like low profile keys.

I have 3 gaming kbs.
Microsoft X4 Sidewinder - low profile keys,modified keyboard layout-due to compact size,red led only(3 light intensity settings)=nice kb once you get use to it
Lycosa-blue led,low profile,fingerprint/dust magnet,led isn't as bad as some people might say
Logi G110-multiple colours,full size keys and layout- my main gaming kb-reliable

Alright thanks, I will look into the sidewinder x4.

Basically I am looking for a keyboard that is low profile, something where the keys don't stick down or get stuck to one another.

I don't like the big chunky keys.
I looked into mechanical keyboards but the clicking... wow....
Sounds like a typewriter, kind of annoying.

The X4 is cheap i bought mine for $35 Shellshocker!
The keys are really quiet btw compared to the others i have.

I have decided on the Razer Lycosa Gaming Keyboard Mirror Edition.

I liked the original Lycosa, the only problem I had was the dull LED, this version has much brighter LED.

Thanks for the help

Get the windex out for that puppy bro!
Your right the keys are a bit brighter on that version.
I had the other one, rma'd it, and the dummies sent me a Mirror as a replacement.
Didn't bother bitchin' though cuz it was like pulling teeth to get an rma from Razer.
