Input Devices, Upgrade

Hey all

So I'm looking into getting myself a new keyboard, mouse, mouse pad and headphones.

This is I've been looking around for so long that I honestly can't decided what to get. :confused:

My budget: R1500

I have looked around at Razer, ROCCAT, Logitech, Cyborg, Steelseries and even Microsoft.

I would like something like the following:

Keyboard: Media keys, 5+- macro keys, led lighting, and maybe if possible for the keys to be nice and easy to press and not make so much noise.

Mouse: Something good for fps games, maybe a macro key or two doesn't matter, must be wired, hate wireless stuff.

Mouse pad: something good to compliment the mouse, I want a nice smooth mouse pad so I can move my mouse easily on it.

Headphones: Possibly the hardest to decide on, it must be very comfortable, I would prefer it to have 5.1 virtual is ok, usb wired,

Please help me out here guys, gimme some suggestions. :)

Personally I think, if you want to get yourself some decent stuff, your budget is a bit too low. Might want to reconsider and save up some more cash!

Morning

I was looking into buying a keyboard and mouse myself.

What I was looking at:

RAT 7 Mouse goes for around R820
and
Cyborg 7 Keyboard goes for around R710

I haven't done my homework around the Headset and Mouse Pad yet though....

Yeah, valid point, just want to see if there isn't something that I'm missing, I have a shopping cart of razer stuff for about R1500, so I'm just looking around abit more.

Hi thanks, I've looked at them and they aren't for me unfortunately, I also need a headset cause mine is pretty worn out :)

I love the razer brand. Mind sharing what items you've got in your cart?

Razer Lachesis - R495.56
Razer Goliathus Speed edition Omega size - R99.35

Sub-Total: R1,620.74 off rebeltech.co.za

It seems to be the best combo for me

These are all products i own and are all awesome: (mice all depend on your hand size aswell)

Mice:
Gigabyte M8000x Mouse R600
Microsoft X8 Mouse R800
Roccat Kone R800 (you can go for the Kone+ for only R100 more)

Headset:
Roccat Kave 5.1 headset R1000

Microsoft X6 R800
Plain Mecer Keyboard (for Starcraft 2) R50

Mouse pad:
Roccat Sense R200

You can find most of this stuff @ www.computersonly.co.za.

Yeah your budget is a bit low for all those components.
R1500 is fine if you remove one component from the list.

Atm im using

Keyboard
Microsoft Sidewinder X4 for its price its an awesome keyboard.(like R500 or less)
Back lit keys,macro keys,anti ghosting and the keys are quiet and soft to press

Mouse
I had the Razer copperhead and now the Lachesis.
Both awesome.

Mouse Pad
Razer goliathus Speed edition(biggest 1)

Headphones
Razer Megalodon these are amazing! Virtual 7.1 and usb so surround sound on any pc,even with no sound card. And the mic is clear as day.

Thanks, swapped the Lycosa for the x6, the price difference isn't much.
