Topic is question.

I myself use a logitech g15 keyboard and a Razer Lachesis 4000dpi mouse. I love my mouse, as I can claw grip it like I do (I know, its odd) and my keyboard gets the job done well enough.

An old G5 (with full weight) and a Saitek keyboard...forget what model exactly, although it comes with an extra macro pad that doesn't seem to work properly in Windows 7.

Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. The downside is that I still have yet to find a keyboard that holds its 'feel' past the first few months. Once the felt wears out they go back to being just as clacky as any cheap keyboard.

A logitech G5 mouse, and some unknown keyboard (I change keyboards every 6 months or so usually, due to wear and tear and broken buttons, had some nice Logitech one a while ago but it diddnt last me any longer)

I use this n52te for gaming. Not a lot of people like it because of some software problems but it's just so comfy plus I like how the keys are aligned rather than staggered. I don't really use the keyboard for gaming except for RTS games.

Using this table is awful, but I only have to use it until I go back to school in a few weeks.

A generic keyboard and a generic mouse.

I see no point in "gaming" kb&m, especially since I don't play competetive online games at all.

How? It's more accurate when aiming? Thanks, but I think I'm fine. And this mouse is quite comfortable. :D

More comfortable, moves faster & more responsive, more buttons. If your generic mouse doesn't have at least forward & back browser buttons, you're missing out on a world of comfort! I have a generic keyboard, though. Keys are keys.

I've used gaming mouses and keyboards before, and I have to say most features are just gimmicks. Unless you are binding macros to the mouse and keyboard and giving yourself and unfair advantage, I honestly don't see any need to use them. My friends cry when they see the crappy old keyboard and mouse I bring to their LAN parties and I honestly don't see any reason to spend extra cash for a good m&kb combo when I could use that money to get a better GPU or whatnot.

I don't see a point in getting a expensive keyboard but getting a decent mouse is worth it.

Um, yes acctually and being able to adjust the dpi/cpi is a great feature. If what you use is fine for you thats cool but not everyone is going to agree with you.

As I said I don't play online games or competitive games so I don't really mind if I don't have the most accurate mouse in the world. As long as it points to wherever I want it to, I'm fine.

After all, the money spent on a gaming mouse could be spent on games instead :D

You are right about the spending money on games part. That was exactly why I didn't buy a second controller for my 360. I hardly ever play with someone and those controllers are expensive, so I might as well just spend it on games than buy it on something that I'm not really going to use.

I agree with you on the keyboard but a nice mouse is worth every penny.

eh I personally like having a nice backlit keyboard although mine is in need of a replacement. Gaming keyboards are nice, because the are generally more durable, have macros, and flashy lcd displays :P I have a G5 mouse with almost full weight and play on highest sensitivity (small mouse pad) and a G15 keyboard which I really want to replacement as having stuff spilled on it too many times causes some keys to be less functional (I'm lookin at you caps lock).

X6 MS keyboard and G9 Logitech mouse for gaming PC and Mini generic keyboard, logitech mx518 and remote control for HTPC.

As for stock keyboards, some are alright. Others have a habit of not liking more than three key inputs without some erratic effects.

I find stock mice with 400-1200dpi need far to much acceleration for large resolutions like 1920x1200, which then makes targeting more difficult.

I find the monitor, kb and mouse take up more direct input from me over there life/useage than a video card or other such component. For example my keyboards last usually 2-3yrs, mouse 2-5yrs and monitor 4-8yrs with very little performance drop. Very few VPU, CPU or MOBO will give me the performace level needed after 2yrs and cost up to four times as much. I just do not see how spending 160$ on a KB and mouse every 2-5yrs would prevent me from buying the video card I wanted.

I'd admit some features on devices are gimicks and tend shed a bad light on the ones that actually last and perform for a user. Which can be tough to go through and see if they last.

Originally I used the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX, but the MX700 charging unit broke, so I replaced the mouse with a Logtiech MX518 - the same as the MX700, but wired.

The keyboard's as old as the hills but it's still in perfect condition so I can't think of a reason to buy a new one.

I got the mouse about 3 months ago. I doubt you'll know the make: Trust. It was originally bought as a cheapstopgap before I splashed out on the new Sidewinder X8, but I've grown to like it and the cable doesn't bother me at all.Looks like Imight end upkeeping it.

Just using a standard Microsoft mouse and keyboard (although it was has some curvature to it and wrist guard thingies). But, I probably will buy a new one soon. I've used this thing for so much gaming the letters are almost totally gone on the W, A, S, D buttons. lol

Hey guys, don't mean to rain on the parade, but if we could keep all hardware related talk in the PC Hardware board (which is right next to this board), that would be super awesome! You're more then welcome to remake the thread there, or if you want, PM a mod (not me, as I'm about to head to sleep :P), and they'll move the topic to PC Hardware.
