Hey quick question for you guys, what is a good mouse and Keyboard preferable for gamming, that I could purchase for a good price.

Also it needs to be able to work with both mac and pc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mouse: Whatever the latest Logitech one is. Keyboard: If you need Macros, Logitech has a keyboard for that. Otherwise, any keyboard will do.

Keyboard: Deck Legendmarkop2003
Might consider one since it has mechanical keyswitches, but it's definitely on the expensive side of things. I currently have a couple of old IBM Model Ms because they're the benchmark as far as good keyboards go and are much cheaper than new mechanical keyswitch boards-especially if you find one at a thrift store. The only issues I have with my boards would be that they don't have Windows keys (which I can't accidentally hit, but they come in useful for games that can use them directly and still retain control, as well as for OSes other than Windows) and that they're beige (but there are black Model Ms out there). As for mice, I still have the Logitech G5 (single thumb button) I got as a Christmas gift back in 2005, and while that "rust metal" finish has worn off and I'd like more buttons, it still does its job well as a mouse-to move a pointer/crosshair around the screen reliably, precisely, and with no fuss. Those HUGE Teflon pads on the bottom also provide a smooth glide. My perfect mouse would probably be a wired Logitech MX1000 with whatever top-of-the-line laser sensor is out now, along with CH Products Control Manager Scripting-level programmability, but that's just an outright pipe dream. (Especially the programmability part.)

Logitech mice are good, but why do you need a good keyboard? They are all the same. Unless you want one like this... Or this...

Not all keyboards are created equal. Optimus Maximus OLED keys aside, you'll find that most keyboards nowadays are considered little more than commodity items and are constructed using cheap rubber dome switches. They get by for most people, but keyboard enthusiasts expect better. Especially those who have used 1980s-era keyboards, back when high-quality mechanical keyswitches were more common. The tactile feedback you get just can't be matched by most keyboards made today (save for the Unicomp-made Model Ms, the CVT Avant Stellar, and any keyboard with Cherry keyswitches, and the latter two easily shoot upwards of 100 US$)-not that most people would know since they haven't even had the chance to use one. Then again, some people prefer the feel of more laptop-style keyboards, which likely use rubber domes, but combined with a good scissor-switch mechanism, can provide a good feel. (Just ask the ThinkPad or PowerBook G3 enthusiasts floating around on the Internet.)
