    Which Mouse and Keyboard?

    I currently have the Enermax Aurora and Logitech MX518.

    I fancy a change, and have been eyeing up the DiNovo Edge, and the MX Revolution.

    Does anyone have any experience of either of these with gaming? I play BF2142 the most (online).

    Also, if they are poop, what else should I be looking at?

    Thanks,

    Russ.

    For Gaming you cant beat the Logitech G15 and G5, the G15 even lets oyu monitor your hardware temperatures on a small screen whilst you play games, its an overclockers best friend!

    I upgraded from a MX518 to a G5 last year, it glides so much smoother and the laser is incredible precise!

    being a CSS player myself these were a godsend and i highly reccomend them!

    Yes I have seen the 2007 G5 - that does strike my fancy

    I'm not keen on G15 - it's too big for my desk shelf anyway - any other keyboard suggestions?

    Does anyone have the MS/Razer Reclusa?

    i have the saitek 2... the lighting sucks, sooo dim, but it is a nice keyboard, shame it only has like 8 function buttons which are already for music things... so much for 'gamers'

    ive got the saiket ecplise, first edition. i dont really care for lights that much... but i like the way this feels

    i have a mx518, have done for about 2 years.. really like it. if i were still gaming properly i would have changed it a while ago... but if you change too often you wont play aswell

    AGREED!

    I bought myself a Razer Copperhead and I can easily say its the best mouse (for gaming) I have ever had (by a long long long way). I play anything from MMORPG's through to Football Manager etc.. Not one particular type/style of game. And keyboard-wise, I use a Zboard with the FPS keyset and the default one for normal daily use.

    Razer taruntula is another option if you dont like the G15, I have heard good things about the steel keys 6G or something like that.
