Came from apple

[rg4video]

I am an apple sheep, i have used magic keyboards and Magic Mouse for years. I had to sell my iMac for college recently because they require PCs for my major, photography. 

 

While i suppose I could just get a keyboard and mouse from apple again, I’d rather give the pc world a chance. I want a backlit keyboard and maybe a mouse that doesn’t hurt my hand as much.

 

Any suggestions for a mouse and keyboard for a photographer using photoshop? I do plan on gaming, but i have a ps4 controller for that. (Mostly Tomb raider).

Here’s my spec list if it’s needed

What switch do you like?

 

Wired or wireless?

The MX Master from Logitech is a really good productivity mouse

I am fine with wired or wireless.

 

I did some measurements using the forum’s guide and my results were

Length: 12.19 cm

Width: 6.86 cm

 

I definitely liked https://pcpartpicker.com/product/xgrcCJ/razer-deathadder-elite-wired-optical-mouse-rz01-02010100-r3u1

 

when I tried it at Best Buy pre-COVID.

 

They had a 50 dollar keyboard that was comfortable too.

 

I am currently using my magic keyboard for the iPad Pro and i love it... so maybe something similar? I also loved the 2015 MacBook Pro keyboard, before they switched to the butterfly ones.

For the mouse, the MX Master 3 is really solid for tasks where latency isn't a problem - so for gaming it's not ideal. For that you'd want a G Pro Wireless (or some other similarly well performing wireless mouse) or you'd have to go wired.

For keyboards, mechanical's definitely the way to go, though you should look for a switch tester to figure out which type of switch is perfect for you, as there's many different factors that differentiate each and every one of them.
