Looking to upgrade

[HowlingStein]

So I have a razer huntsman and razer viper but I'm looking to upgrade, I play fps games like r6s and cod. Anyone got any ideas on what keyboard and mouse I should buy, not razer.

I quit buying razor stuff some years ago because the springs for the buttons kept breaking.  I took them apart and the problem appeared to be the springs for the buttons were  made of plastic.  They may have fixed that bit.

do you have any preferences? i.e wireless, size, weight?

That stuff varies by a lot of things including body type.  I’m a big guy with big hands that don’t sweat much.  I’ve had some variable weight mice and found no difference between a heavy one and a light one myself.  I don’t play twitch games much because even when I was young my reaction time sucked and now that I’m old it’s much worse. 

Keyboards are if anything more personal.  I personally am fairly keyboard insensitive and as a result I buy cheapass $8 rubber dome keyboards and throw them away when they die.  I’m kind of unusual that way though.  A lot of people really prefer the behavior of some mechanical keyboard costing more up front, but they last so much longer that effective cost is about the same.
 

Things that I have seen make a difference for others:

 

Hand dominance:

some mice are made exclusively for right handers.  If you’re left handed the mouse selection drops.

 

Hand size:  some ice are for small hands, some mice are for big hands.

 

grip type:

the way you like to hold a mouse makes a difference

 

hand sweat level:

some people who produce a lot of hand sweat buy mice that are ventilated and have little fans in them to evaporate sweat from their hands. 
 

weight:  

people who play twitch games often want a lighter mouse because it takes less energy to move and stop quickly

 

all of these are going to be personal for you.

 

as someone immune to many limitations common to many other mouse users my prime interest is reliability and cost.
