Hey guys! I just built my gaming rig (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dJm0) and I'd like some suggestions for a gaming keyboard and mouse.

I'm not a hardcore gamer so I don't need anything super fancy (aka super expensive). I'd prefer wireless, but I can roll with cords if price and features are right.

I'm gonna be playin a variety of games including BF3, Crysis, Skyrim, WoW (just a month or two of Pandas then perma retiring), LoL, Anno 2070, and anything that tickles my fancy really. I'll also be doin a bit of typing with this...if that has any impact on anything.

I was taking a look at the Microsoft Sidewinder X4 Keyboard. It seemed great for the features and price. What do you guys think about this keyboard?

I haven't taken a detailed look at mice yet. The Logitech G700 caught my eye, but it's a little pricey.

For keyboard's, I advise against Razer until you get above a Blackwidow, the Arctosa/Lycosa are outclassed by other keyboards. Currently I'm using a Thermaltake Challenger Pro, but I suspect its a bit above your price range.

I have heard plenty of praise for the Sidewinder though.

For mice Razer is amazing though, my DeathAdder is the best mouse I'v had.
