I use the Alienware keyboard. Some people stay away from that brand, but I like their keyboard.

Get your mouse from http://au.razerzone.com

Here is a link to the Mouse Advisor
http://www2.razerzone.com/MouseGuide/

I use the Razer Imperator and the Deathadder, both are claw grip, Deathadder is a little better and there is a new version out for it as well.

Alienware keyboard is A$110 at the moment and the mouse Deathadder is A$85 with shipping and the Imperator is A$110

Would recomend a Razer mouse since I've been using them for years and have been very satisfied overall

edit: have you seen http://www.scorptech.com.au they are pretty cheap and good too

MSY do sell Razer mice, while you're there get a Goliathus Control or Speed edition mouse pad too :D
Comes in 4 sizes so check em out :D :D

Depends on how you've got it customized. You can make that thing fit your hand perfectly

I had to google to find the difference in grips, turns out i use a mix of palm and claw grip, palm on mouse but clawed fingers holding it too. I can see no reason it wouldn't work with a claw grip but can't confirm that as i don't use that grip myself.

Why would grip matter? As long as you're not wearing a damn gloves or masturbating so furiously your hands are super sticky, you should have no problem with grip, is this an attempt at trolling?

i gotta say klav has a v good point there...and it is v important to know these kindda things cuz most ppl forget that online gamers watch rough !@# porno movies...due to there sick relationship between there female family members...as for ur question klav yes i do think u are trolling and i will ask the same question to person who will reply to me.... is this an attempt at trolling?

Do you use a claw grip too? Cause i've tried both of those and they really seemed like palm grip mice to me.

It is, even if you customize it you've still got the gaps between the plates and all these screws sticking out everywhere

That is the claw grip, holding it with just your fingers is called a fingertip grip

Good so now i can say go buy an MX518 OP, don't waste money on a razer with 20 buttons, a shift key as a modifier makes them irrelevant. Apparently i have the same grip as you and i've been happy with an MX518 for years.

Cheers. Guess I'll go with a MX518. Is it worth buying a mechanical keyboard?
