deciding on peripherals

[Vascon]

so i want to get the razer basilisk v3/v3 pro (not sure yet) and a razer huntsman turnament edition cost for the keyboard is 130 usd and for the mouse its about 70 for the v3 and 160 for the v3 pro so are there any better alternatives for a simular price or cheaper? if there are any alternatives please tell me i will be very thankful

Unless you reallllllly love the Razer looks, I would never recommend Razer to anyone.

I would never, ever recommend someone buy a gaming keyboard.

 

If you're looking to spend less, take a look at this

The most important feature in a mechanical keyboard is being "hot-swappable" which, conveniently, almost all of the gaming brands don't feature. So if your board malfunctions, you're shit outta luck unless you're great at soldering. Hot-swappable let's you just pull out the switch and put a new one in.

you don't need expensive peripherals for gaming,

 

there's few good price/performance keyboards and mouses,

 

I myself used a 20$ mouse for 5+ years, that same mouse I gave to my friend which he used for few more months, then the sidebuttons broke which he needs, but said that everything else still worked

Razer is good, but you pay like almost 50% for the brand

if going dirt cheap, all you need is anti-ghosting from a keyboard

So the keyboard looks nice but the only thing is that I want a black one and is there like the same keyboard but in black?

It does come in black???

 

And really basilisk isn't that great either unless if you are dead set on egg shape and don't want either buying Chinese mice with limited post sales customer service - although beyond that they are very much fine mice - or settling for entry level Orochi or G305. What's your hand size?

I tried the basilisk v3 at a friend's house and it was very nice and comfy and my hands are 4.5 inches long and about 8 inches tall and I have a claw grip
