I just built a comp and I'm looking for a good mouse and keyboard. I was thinking about getting the Microsoft sidewinder x4 but i don't like how its a red back lit. Is there a keyboard like the Microsoft one with a different color (say blue).

Mouse has to be good with ARMA 3, StarCraft 2, LoL, and games like that.

Mousepad optional

Budget for all : $125 ish
 
Hows this:

-Mechanical keyboard. No backlight but it's a very good keyboard for it's price. It should last a long time since it's mechanical. The Cherry MX blue switches makes a nice, loud sound when you press on them. Tenkey-less, but you don't really use them in games.
-Well built laser mouse.
