Title: Your gaming mouse/keyboard?
Post by: Eel O'Brian on June 05, 2014, 07:16:30 PM
Bought the Logitech G602 today, Best Buy had it on sale for $60 down from $80. I haven't used it for very long, but so far I'm really impressed with the responsiveness:

(http://gaming.logitech.com/assets/49411/5/g602-gaming-mouse.png)

Feels nice in the hand, smooth glide, and the bottom row of buttons are easy to "rock" with your thumb. I probably won't ever use the top row for much of anything, to be honest. The only thing I'd change about the design is maybe adding a small lip on the left hand side for a pinky rest, to match the thumb rest on the right. I like that you can flick the middle switch from "performance" to "endurance" mode to extend battery life whenever you're just browsing or doing daily work (it drops the polling rate to 125 from the performance mode's 500). It also works with just one AA if you prefer a lighter mouse (it's by no means heavy, though). I also like that it's not littered with flashing or pulsing lights, just the normal indicators for dpi switching and switching modes. It uses a dedicated nano receiver, not the unifying ones Logitech normally puts in the box. We'll see how it holds up over time. This is the most I've ever spent on a mouse :lol

Got the G105 keyboard the other day:

It's not mechanical, but it has the larger mechanical-type keys with a deeper throw, which is what I was shooting for. I can handle chiclet keys on a tablet keyboard, but I don't care for them at the desktop, and my last keyboard had tiny keys. It's backlit, which is nice, and has 6 programmable keys on the side with game profiles in the software. Also has a button that disables the windows and menu keys while you're playing. Pretty basic gaming keyboard, but I mainly got it for typing, and I like the feel of the larger keys. Most standard keyboards nowadays have tiny keys and feel mushy. I'm eventually going to get a mechanical keyboard, but I don't want to spend more than $100 so I need to do some research.

Oh that looks nice.

I use a Logitech G600.

(http://gaming.logitech.com/assets/47823/g600-gaming-mouse-images.png)

Been great for me for two years or so. Only thing is I'm rough on my equipment and the left click has gotten a bit wonky it seems. This is most likely my fault, but it's been great for my high demand play. I can attunement roll and multi-shatter with ease.

Logitech G400.
(http://bignewsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Logitech-G400.jpg)

Good shape and all the buttons I need (except for the second one below the wheel, have no use for it). Made for palm gripping I think, but I claw grip it.
If it ever dies I'm going to get whatever Intellimouse copy is best.

Steelseries sensei.

Really enjoy the mouse and got it fairly cheap.

Razer Black Widow. I know its not the "cool" brand but it works pretty decently imo.

G400 (rip mx518) is great. Also have a g15 keyboard which I love for the LCD but really needs updating.

I just have a generic Microsoft keyboard that sorta looks like Rumbler's mainly because I prefer the way it types, I despise all those flat ala laptop keys kind, but I should swing by Best Buy since I heard they're giving keyboards away for free if you pester them a little.

Post by: Rufus on June 05, 2014, 11:36:33 PM
I use a generic Cherry keyboard with multimedia buttons. I kinda want a mechanical keyboard, tenkeyless if possible, but it still seems like a very frivolous purchase to me. Maybe next time I spill a drink on it I'll reconsider...

I'm not using the pc much anymore, but I've got a G600 and a Logitech Wave wireless keyboard. I'm not allowed to use our awesome Corsair mechanical keyboard since I've got "oily hands."

I have these without the COD shit.

Also have their keyboard:

They were going for cheap at Best Buy so I got them all. Paid the most for the mouse. I'll replace the keyboard with a mechanical one someday, but I'm in no rush.

Brown switches...was pretty apprehensive about a mechanical but love the small footprint. Mine is solid black without all the stupid branding.

Deathadder 2014. I had been using a CM Storm Spawn that I really liked until it broke. Really love the way this one feels....I hardly play fps games at all now so it doesn't really matter what mouse I use really.

I had a left handed death adder that I liked. I really liked the size of those things as I have big hands. But it broke down on me and I hear that's a common problem with that brand.

Still rocking a logitech g500. I've abused the fuck out of that thing over the past two years and it's still really great, super responsive. I really need to get a decent keyboard- using a shitty, ancient hp thing I've had for years.  :-\

I have a Logitech 610 from 2006 that I'm still using:

(http://images.discoazul.com/images/mx610_top_34.jpg)

Apart from a few chips on the paint, it's still in pristine condition! Looking for a new one though as it seems to conflict with my new router. The only reason I've kept this around for so long is because none of Logitech's new mice come with volume controls. I am... considering that G602 however.

I was using a G710+ mechanical keyboard from logitech. The problem is, my fingers are really fucked up from doing Brazilian jiujitsu all the time and the keys required too much pressure compared to the Apple one. So it's either that or using Dragon Dictation.

have you tried a board with cherry reds? their actuation is smoother than my tinychat game.

but whatever works for you.

logitech G700 for about four years now.  occasionally use my older logitech G9 with my laptop.

keyboard is a ducky tenkeyless.  having my mouse where the number pad would be is surprisingly comfortable.
