Peripherals Discussion

I was interesting in seeing what peripherals everyone is using currently. I know a lot of people just use the bits and pieces that came with their computers. I would be interested to see what kinds of things people have been enjoying, and the pros and cons of certain devices.

I am currently using -

mouse - RAT 7 http://cyborggaming.com/prod/rat7.htm

keys - Razer Blackwidow mechanical with cherry MX blues

headset - Plantronics 777 http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/gamecom-777

mousepad - Razer goliathus speed http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.169417100


I am very happy with all of these at the moment. Although i am extremely tempted to buy:

What are you guys using at the moment? are you enjoying them?

Your kidding about the pink keyboard right?

Your mouse looks like it came from the movie Terminator lol.

I currently use everything came with my computer.

I'm using the Razer Salmosa as a mouse, and the mousepad is the mousepad I got when I bought the WoW: Cataclysm Collectors Edition. Got Deathwing breathing out fire and shit, pretty cool. And it's really nice too, nice and smooth. I'll post pics up in a bit.

Headset: http://www.clicknewz.com/img/plantronics-headset-2.jpg (Looks like it. Except mine isn't wireless and the silver part is pure black.

haha im not kidding! its the same as the one boxer uses, just pink... so better.

the razer mouses are pretty epic, i used a deathadder for ages. i have that same mousepad haha, i found it a bit sticky though.

i spend too much money on this stuff, but i enjoy trying different things out.

Hahaha alright if you say so.

Well the mouse I won over a BW tournament back when I was a freshman in college 2 years ago at a local LAN. Got second place and got the mouse with a mousepad.

The headset I bought after the old I had broke after I stepped on it :X.

I use a filco majestouch keyb with mx cherry browns, logitech g3 mouse, logitech g35 headset, steelseries QcK mousmat (zeratul v Kerrigan edition)

Currently using a Steelseries 6Gv2 mechanical with black cherry switches, razer lachesis mouse, Creative HS1100 Fatal1ty headset, and a Razer control mousepad. But ordered myself a new Steelseries Xai and QcK mousepad cause the lachesis has this awkward dip where the fingers rest, and I have a claw grip. Great internet browsing mouse but hard to control properly with. And whatever you do, don't buy the razer control mousepad with the lachesis, you'll go insane with the amount of times you have to clean the sensors.

thats epic that you won a mouse bobo haha, wish i could do that.

lucky, are the brown switches actually quiet like they say, or not really?

pioneer thats some good testing of things, let me know how the Xai is, ive heard great things about that mouse, and also that mousepad. I gave away my death adder cause it felt a bit funny too.

Im not fond of razer gear, its just poorly designed in my opinion, and a tad over priced. In terms of swithces, you just have to try a few before you find one you like. sad but true.

I'm a big fan of Razer XD It just make me play better some how.

Keyboard: Razer Lycosa.

Mouse: Before i used salmosa (which is extreemely good). But i changed to Razer Spectre

Headset: Razer Carcharias

Mousepad: Razer eXact mat

No MX switches are particularly quiet. It's just quiet relative to others like the blues for example. As for my preferred switch, I use brown for gaming at home and black for coding at work. HOWEVER, I like blacks better and would prefer to use blacks for gaming except the keyb with blacks is a weird shape and not good for gaming. If I had a filco with MX Blacks I would use that for gaming. They're both very good though.

I was almost thinking of re doing my entire peripherals but now have my eyes set on these new alienware m14x's that should be out tonight. but at the moment im using

mouse -Logitech G9
mouse pad-Razer eXactMat
keyboard -Logitech G15
headset -Fata1ity gaming headset
monitor -54in plasma >:D

raze salmosa, I'd $50 for the Razer Abyssus , but cant really be bothered when this works fine.
Razer Lycosa, I'd $100 for some mx browns, but cant really be bothered when this works fine.
23" Samsung, yea id get a 24, but cant be bothered
have headphones but not headset, some cheep ass mic if need be, meh
puretrak talent, awesome cloth pad, large, not expensive. Stealth is same thing but smaller, did not have that out when i got it. Only thing i would not change, ha.

Holy crap Novax thats one big screen u play on =0

Yeah that is huuuugee! Do you play like 20metres back, with like 1trillion DPI

i would sit further back but i was cheap and got a 3m hdmi cable so i am limited to setting up my desk about 3 or so metre back. >_< i must say it does take effort to have to bend at the neck to check the mini map and supply cap haha

omg nova that is just insane haha. does the quality look ok?

I just bought a qsenn dt-35, the old keyboard that most of the pros still use. it was 30 bucks, i just wanna try it out. im pretty sure it will just be the same as any cheap keyboard, but its so weird that like 70% of the pros still use them.

If its decent i might sell my mechanical one...

Novax...watching movies on ur comp would be epic...thats all i have to say
Btw ur screen is bigger then my television >.>

I use the best mouse ever made, the logitech G5 <3<3<3 and for my keyboard i use a g110.

I need new headphones and i don't know what to get any recommendations?
