So my mouse has been serving me pretty well these past two years and you can definitely tell with all the wear and tear on the bottom of it. I had a keyboard but decided to ditch it because it was lagging behind with my keystrokes. So this is going to be a long-ish post of what I'm looking for and hoping to get.
First off, you probably need to know what I'm going to do with the mouse, keyboard, and mousepad(do i need one!?). Well, considering I only have one machine, I have to game on it, do school-related things, and program/code. I've tried discerning my way through keyboard switches but each video seems a bit too opinionated in my opinion . I don't have a way to test the keyboards or switches to see what I like. I guess the work load is about 65% typing, 35% gaming. I play games like CS:GO and LOL so something reliable is a necessity. A Num-Pad is absolutely necessary because I use it for coding. Mouse-wise, I honestly have no idea. I don't play many MMOs except for EVE online which really doesn't require many buttons on a mouse and I'm used to using the keyboard shortcuts in League so I don't want it on my mouse. Something again, reliable, but also something that's going to work and be responsive to small changes for CS:GO.
Now here's the thing: I've never used a mouse pad before. Most of my friends use them and I've for some reason never got around to getting one. If it'll improve the lifespan of my mouse, then I'll get one but the problem is. THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM LIKE PLS SEND HELP. Do they even benefit me or are they just another waste of money?
So in conclusion here's what I'm hoping for: A mechanical keyboard with a num-pad that's comfortable to type on for long periods of time and can also game on them. A nice mouse that'll last me a while and is pretty accurate with a higher sensitvity. A big mouse mat to improve the life span of the mouse???
thank you so so so much for your help :>
