Hey Guys,
After long time I am thinking of switching back to keyboard and mouse for gaming. Please suggest me one for 5-6K MAX for both combined ( Strict, please don't go above this budget )

I am thinking about G105 and G400

Note:
USB ( unless PS/2 to USB converter is included )
Full height keys needed, not low profile keys.
customizable button on mouse, should be able to configure melee and snipe button i.e., resolution change on click of a button..
added advantage if palm rest is included.

Roccat Kone[+] -5500
quick mass mini-500
keep the old keyboard

or if you can extend 500 more just get a Steelseries Sensei .....the best mouse out there

I cannot use the old keyboard as I am using a PS/2 to USB converter and there is ghosting issue.

then just buy a a basic sturdy keyboard....you can play any game with any keyboard....the mouse kills it everytime..............you can opt for a g500 its 3500 and with the rest 2500 you can get a Roccat Arvo should be around 2500-2800....................also i would suggest getting the roccat kone instead of the g500 which is again 300-500 higher but means a lot in games

but the steel series sensei is probably the best mouse out there in any range....its a no looks only performance mouse that delivers

i just cant stop complimenting it man trust me its awesome check it out

there is even a proccessor inside the sensei :twisted:

Buy a Razer Death Adder, it's got the most accurate sensor of all. More so than the Imperator and G500.

As for KB, any membrane KB is the same. Would suggest going mechanical if possible.

im getting G400 for ~1.6 K from golcha, im dropping gaming keyboard from various suggestions and going for a basic Logitech keyboard. only thing to figure out is what model should I choose.

also I would like to pick up a mousepad.. I think a good one will be available for ~ Rs. 600

Get a mechanical keyboard, those membrane keyboard's keys get a bit loose after about an year and typing on them becomes a bit of bad experience.

^^ I am thinking of getting a DAS Keyboard, but its expensive and not currently available in India, so I need to save a bit for that. so for stopgap time I want to use a low priced keyboard and then when I have enough dedicated money I can go for proper mechanical keyboard. ( may be after the tax returns ;) )

what games do you want to play?

ahmm... lol razer death adder is CRAP. Its the worst sensor ever made.

Take it from someone who has played cs for 6 years... yeah lol. and owned 4 mice + 3 gaming mats + 2 keyboards...


mouse : ikari laser / kinzuv2
mat : steel series Qck Heavy / Razer Goliathus - Fragged Alpha Mousepad - Speed @ 2k/1k [ im not sure of the avl of qck heavy, but its the best mat money can buy ]
keyboard : TVS gold @ 1.5k [ nothing beats this mechanical keyboard... or id suggest a 7G the best keyboard there is.

TVSE doesn't have non-clicky mechanical ones, cause I like to keep it silent at night when gaming. only a few models from other manufacturers have non-clicky ones.

I play FPS/TPS like BF3, FC3, TR, and would be going into Portal, HL2 series, TF2.

non clicks ones are pretty expensive... if you want the best.. then there is 7g... but thats 10k or something. For FPS, steel series ikari laser / kinzu v2....is perfectly fine. Skip the keyboard then.

@offtopic : doesnt it lag in BF3? online ?

Silent Mechanical will cost over 5K easily! IMO the TVSE is better than a expensive membrane.

His budget is Rs 6000 for a mouse and keyboard. You are suggesting just a keyboard that costs Rs 8813. Tell me what should I doubt in this case?

you got it wrong, i am saying that the 7g is the best. not that he should buy it... i hope you get my point :)

Guys, relax .. I will be investing more money 5K+ only on a mechanical keyboard (in future and not now) hopefully on this Das Keyboard Model S Professional Soft if not for the Ultimate Model(with no letter marking on key what so ever) ..

Now I want to go for a basic membrane keyboard for stopgap + a good quality Mouse . Once I or some one else goes to US then I will get that Das Keyboard ..

@NoasArcAngel : pings are fine, 60-200 is playable and we all play as squad..
on other note.. from the day I bought BF3 I am playing only using a Xbox 360 Controller :p KD after 200+ hrs ~13K kills is 1.01 and Win Loss is 1.45 (421 wins) (this is after stat reset)
my original overall would be 33K kills, KD = 0.89 W/L = 1 from about 760+ hrs.

my original overall would be 33K kills, KD = 0.89 W/L = 1 from about 760+ hrs.

well my efficiency or KD ratio in pub was 65~70% and in clan about 50~60% (individual score) played about 1200~1500 hrs? win loss is about 3.2 number of kills is uhmm... lol .....

1 round is usually 1.5 minutes so if i manage to kill 5 people in a round on avg, and i play 1 hour then i kill about 200 ppl / hr (adjust for time-outs, bad rounds) say i kill about 150ppl/hr x 1200 = 15x12x1000 = :O 180,000 kills :)

Just clarifying my own doubt. Would you consider Razer Abyssus instead of the G400 ? Why not the G300 ?

PS: How good is the tvse gold mech KB ? Anything better at that budget ?

its a pretty good mechanical keyboard, there is nothing there that beats it for the price. razer is generally avoided by fps gamers because they are more suited for rts / mmorpg gameers

the g400 has a very good grip, many players are fussy about their mouse size, grip and texture so thats a very big factor which influences purchase

you dont want the mouse to be too big, sweaty, slipping during intense LAN gaming sessions ...

Are you sure? I read an article that did a research on different sensors and found the one in DA to be most accurate. I believed that was the reason most people buy it despite Razers reputation for making mice that hardly last 2 years. Have never owned one since I have an Imperator, which is luckily still working.

umm yes... i have : intelli 3.0, razer copperhead, steel series kinzu, razer death adder 3G, mx 518, ikari laser. mats: qck heavy, mym qck +, everglide titan "desktrut" edition and the tvse + 6gv2.

Razer Death adder sells like hot cakes because :

1. most of the people who buy mice buy it generally for cs 1.6,
2. its the shape of the mouse which appeals
3. grip and the texture

the original da was the best mouse razer has ever produced till date. its not razer mice go kaput after a few years, if you keep them maintained they last pretty long.... and i havent heard pf such cases... it hasnt happened to me... although the mx518 left click issue did happen.... :(

Its because if i go to the market then i have 3 choices :

1. get mx518 / intelli 3.0 - which people now avoid because its old technology. intelli 3.0 - because its too large, mx-518 shape does not appeal to many.
2. get a sensei - which is pretty expensive and people who play at very competitive level only use them ...

but then i see a death adder which has all the best of 3 mice above (although in meagre amounts) for 2.6k yipeeee, and the pulsating light only adds to the appeal...

and razer makes pretty sturdy mice, so who ever told you that crap is obviously banging the mouse or something. and not since the new death adder its been since copperhead about 5 years back ...

just so we are clear, razer mice are fine if you want a flashy mouse without all the frills and technicalities of a proper gaming mouse / or if you are an rpg / rts gamer.
