Which mouse/keyboard should I get?

michaelmcgo · 03-08-2008, 06:47 PM

I am putting the finishing touches on my new gaming computer, and the mouse and keyboard are the last things to upgrade.

I definitely want an optical/laser mouse, but don't care between the two. I like cordless, but it isn't necessary.

The mouse I have right now is this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826105039

I really like how big this model is, so if you could recommend a good gaming mouse of similar dimensions that would be great.

Also I am going to get a new keyboard to replace the OEM dell one I am using right now. I am not too particular, I just want a decent one.

Thanks.

How much are you wanting to spend?

I would like to spend less than $40-$50 on both. I realize this excludes many of the laser gaming mouses. I don't need a very fancy keyboard at all, I would rather spend more on the mouse. I would honestly be okay with keeping my OEM keyboard.

You can get the Razer Deathadder Mouse from Newegg for $50, and use any keyboard you want. I just have a $30 HP Keyboard I picked up from Wal-Mart and it works fine gaming for me.

You can get cheaper keyboards than that, USB, too. And unless you really like having a gaming keyboard, the really basic ones work just fine...
