IS there a huge difference in a quality keyboard and mouse for gaming?

I have given little thought to this issue until now. I have a logitech keyboard and a regular laser mouse. If there is can you post some links so I can get a idea of what to get. Thanks.

Mouse yes, keyboard no.

Most of my life I have just stuck with cheap normal mice and keyboard, but with my latest build i decided to get some nice stuff.

I picked up a Reaper 1600 DPI Optical Gaming Mouse and im loving it!

Also for my keyboard i got a Microsoft Comfort Curve keyboard and loving it aswell!
I dont think ill ever go back to a cheap mouse or keyboard again :P

The keyboard is alot more comfortable, at least to me. And the Mouse definatly is mroe efficient compared to what i had before.

Thanks for the replies, guess it time for a new mouse.

the biger question.. ergenomic keys and mice vs gaming keys & mice which is the better buy?

I've been gaming with a Logitech Trackman since they came out, and I've never looked back. It's not the most accurate mouse out there, but it's fantastic for me! :)

this little cutie has been batting eyelashes at me preowned at a local pc parts store.. (right next to another p5k/epu which makes me mad b/c they blow the socks off any equally priced mobo(lga 775 all cpu's but p4, most ddr2 ram type 6GB supported, crossfire ready, 106 bucks canadian)

Get a decent mouse such as a g5 or deathadder. But keyboards don't really matter. All you get from a gaming keyboard is backlights, usb ports and macro keys.

I have a Logitech G15 keyboard and I absolutely love it. I have Everest running and showing CPU, GPU, RAM, other temps, etc on the built in LCD on the keyboard. Its a great tool for benchmarking and checking stats like that while gaming.

Logitech G5 gaming mouse is a very nice gaming mouse with high repsonse and nice feel. Like how you can put the weights in it to suit your feel. In terms of keyboards, if you lan a lot with not much lighting, then an illuminated keyboard does help. The Logitech G15 is a good keyboard. Try to find revision 1 over revision 2. Prefer rev 1 which had blue illumination compared to the ugly orange in rev2. The macro keys you can bind to each game are near the WASD keys which makes instant weapon changing etc very easy and quick, once you get used to it. And no I don't work for Logitech, I just have been using these models for a long time now without a problem.

Mice:

Logitech G5 / Logitech G9

Keyboard:

Saitek Eclipse series is w00t, Gxx looks interesting but expensive.

There is a big difference.

MX518 mouse. Don't need anything else really.

Keyboards, meh... I really don't think it's worth it to buy an expensive keyboard, no.

If you got a crap one then yes, but still not expensive. Maybe $50.

hardly overpriced locally i can get razer mice of various names ( sidewinder, copperhead, deathadder) for alot cheaper than a G5 gaming mouse. about 10 bucks differnce.
