I'm looking for peripherals

Hello, i'm looking forward to buy a mouse and a mechanical keyboard. I'm not really looking for something ultra expensive, just some recomendations.

I play mostly mobas and i want a responsive mouse (around 4000-6000 dpi would be good, although i dont mind a higher dpi count). For the keyboard, it's not my intention to get a shinny keyboard with a lot of lights, instead a responsive and possibly cheap mechanical keyboard.

So far my pref choices are:

Mouse:

-Steelseries sensei wireless (I dont love it becouse its expensive and you have to unplug the base to use it wired, without an actually long live battery)

-Razer Ouroboros (Its kind of weird becouse as far as i've been told, razer sells overpriced things with lots of lights, no hurt feelings, i dont really know, that's why i'm making this post)

Keyboard:

-Logitech G710

-Razer blackwidow ultimate 2014

 

PS: Excuse my bad english, not a native speaker as you might notice.

PSS: I'm open to all kind of suggestions.

the correct use would be PPS for the second one, sorry had to point it out.

also im not even going to pretend i know much about peripherals, i just buy what looks good to me and fits my use/budget.

If you don't care about flashy keyboards, you could get the Steelseries Quickfire I. Or the newly release one (forgot the name but it's by Steelseries and it's like 70 bucks). If you want, I'm going for a k70 (non rgb) don't care about those lights. And a corsair m65.

To extend on what PS actually means:

 

Post Send. You'd just add it on at the end of the letter, back in the good old days where you couldn't exactly backspace what you wrote down. The reason for PPS and not PSS is because Post-Post-Send would mean After the After Note. A Post Send Send doesn't really make as much sense, because it's not meant to.

 

TL;DR English is a hodge-podge of everything and everyone should just speak binary.

 

Anyway, onto the mouse and keyboard.

 

I don't actually know what your budget is for this, so I'm going to pick out what are just the best for some price ranges.

 

reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards is much better with keyboards than me, and they have this http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/wiki/mechanical_keyboard_overviews really handy guide to buying that should link you to several places that you can look over, to see what you like. You could also try ordering a test kit to find what switch works best for you. You can also buy used keyboards for much cheaper than retail (off /r/hardwareswap, I got a DASKeyboard which usually goes for $120 for about $70. A good deal indeed!)

 

For mice, you'll want to look into Logitech, Zowie, and Steelseries. Most people can agree that they make some pretty decent mice. I'd recommend wired over wireless if at all possible, because wired is generally more dependable and batteries are usually more of a pain, unless you plan on using the mouse with a travel laptop. Razer is *okay*, and I use a Razer Deathadder right now, but those other manufacturers I mentioned make just as good products without as many needless functions. Don't underestimate Razer, though, because that shiny comes with good quality as well.

 

Wish you luck on your journey to find some better peripherals!

I write books for an unliving.

You kinda threw out information in an interesting sense, with the stuff in your first paragraph contradicting what peripherals you mentioned...

 

 

...But that's besides the point. 

 

Starting with the mouse- 

If you play mostly MOBA's, the Ouroboros is not a very good choice. If you are right handed, the Ouroboros is not a very good choice. It is a good mouse, but it's too much of a "jack-of-all-trades" (something that does lots of things not very well) to be worth it. I can, however, recommend a few other mice. The Logitech G602 is one of the best wireless mice I've encountered. It has 6 side buttons and on-the-fly DPI adjustments up to roughly 2500. This is lower than your requested range, but unless you have a widescreen monitor, or a multi monitor set up, that's about as much as you will use. It's main downfall, and the reason I don't use it, is the button placement. It is an amazing mouse, and the buttons are easy to reach, but the way I use a mouse, I accidentally push the bottom few buttons a lot. This happens when I pick it up to move it around using force with my thumb to hold it. Other than that, it's not a problem

 

What I recommend the most is my current mouse, the Corsair M95. It is a wired mouse, which bugs me now and then, but it is such an amazing mouse that I have come to accept it. The scroll wheel feels incredible, even to push down, there are 9 fully programmable buttons on the side, all easily reached without accidentally pushing one, DPI up to 8200, and multi-profile storage. In the end, the thing you want to consider the most is ergonomics- how it feels in your hand. That will determine what you buy.

 

Keyboards-

I can't say too much in this category, except that the two keyboards you picked out are most definitely "shinny keyboard(s) with a lot of lights", and will run you the price from $120 to $150. If you want something not too flashy, and under $100, check out CoolerMaster, Ducky, or Corsair. These are all great companies and you can find what you want between the three. 

 

Happy (peripheral) Hunting!
