Well... background. I have been computer gaming and playing mainly mmos since 1998. In that time, I have been using a 12 year old Dell keyboard and an old Microsoft Intellimouse since those first game out and figure it is time to upgrade... (surprisingly after logging about 2 years worth of time on them they still work)
The question is what do I go with. I know on keyboards I should be looking at mechanical now (right?). I actually like the feel of the Dell keyboard because I am used to it.. maybe a less depression strength would be nice, and I like the bounce feel. I like the sound of the old keyboard too.. So does that mean I should go with a Cherry MX Brown keys? Hard to find many stores here with mechanical boards to test out. I tried out a Cherry MX Blue and I liked its feel alright, but the sound was a tad loud for me.
I have read about a few boards and wanted thoughts
1. Logitech G710+ - I like their gear and sound dampening on the MX Brown keys sounds good.. what do you all think?
2. Corsair K90 - great reviews.. i like aluminum body. MX Red though... not sure if i would like the non-tactile and completely softness
3. Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 Elite - MX Browns.. Tried another blackwidow with MX Blues as mentioned
4. Azio Levetron Mech5 - looked like a new board with MX Black.. not bad looking
or should i just go with a simple Ducky DK9008 Shine II or something with MX Brown. Once you get the extra keys do you want them more?
Is the mechanical overrated? should i just go with a Logitech 510 + G500 mouse.. saw Newegg had that combo on sale for $99 with 15% rebate, or a Micosoft Sidewinder X4
As far as mice..
1. Logitech G9x looks to be awesome
2. Logitech G600
3. something else?
