hey all,
I'm currently looking into a peripheral setup for gaming purposes, I've heard a lot about Logitech, Razer and Saitek/Madcatz/Cyborg (seriously, what's their official brand name? o.0) so I'm trying to focus my attention there
I'm currently using a Razer combo (Razer Naga Hex and Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth) and your everyday Sennheiser headphones, but they don't feel "right" (and the headphones are falling apart from age) so I'm doing some research into something new
toms hardware has already helped me select the components for my system (which is sitting on the desk next to me, all glorious and stuff) so now I'm relying on you all to help me select the perfect keyboard and mouse as well
I prefer corded over wireless, despite the fact that they may be just as reliable
I'd also like SOME programmable buttons, but more then 5 would be overkill for me
I'm somewhere between palm and claw grip, but leaning to claw grip
as for DPI, I'm currently using my mouse at 3000 DPI and it feels fine (though a little fast when sniping)
now for the brands, I don't like the looks of the logitech stuff much, but how do they perform?
Razer feels a little off for me, they look good, they perform as expected, but that's it, they're not what i'm looking for, should I try a different setup of theirs and see how that works?
Saitek/Madcatz/Cyborg looks good to me, I like the way they offer customization of their mice, I haven't read much about their keyboards though, any thoughts on their brand?
as for headsets, I'd like surround sound, but how does that perform? is it worth it? and if it is, what kind? 5.1 or 7.1?
if there's a brand I missed, throw it at me and I'll have a look
thanks everyone
friendly greetings,
Jen
