Hey guys!

 

I've been looking at some new gaming peripherals to go along with my HyperX Cloud. I will set a poll up.

I've been looking at the Corsair K70 RGB keyboard, but reading the manual (140 pages) and the software look all too complicated, but the legitimate Cherry MX key switches and the 16.8 million per key lighting effect makes me want to actually make an investment! 

 

With my mouse, on the other hand, I am looking at two of the following mice: the Logitech G502 Proteus Core, and the Razer DeathAdder Chroma. I would go for the G502 because of all its customizable buttons and its intuitive weight system. However, I am looking at the Razer DeathAdder because it's easier to control just using one piece of software and I've used a DeathAdder before, it being the DeathAdder Infrared.

 

I will leave the poll of my four most sought-after keyboards and mice; if you hate what I have on my poll, leave replies below!

I had a Corsair K70 RGB, but I returned it. Too much hassle for too much money. Good build quality though. However I like Razer Orange switches more than MX browns (my opinion).

I switched it for a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2014 Stealth.

Well, thanks for your opinion! How are the stealth switches (Orange) different from the clicky switches (Green)? Rather, what's the difference in terms of feel and actual gaming performance?

Quickfire XT: Not some silly expensive board with ultimately useless christmas lights. Quickfires are renowned for their high quality and small price. A smart buy.

G502: Flawless sensor. A handful of extra buttons. Logitech quality.

 

I wouldn't even consider the other options if I had to choose.

The difference is that they are quieter, they are still loud though but they sound nice. They also have a slightly different feel to them, they don't feel like a typewriter but rather like their own kind of feeling. They are nice switches, personally I like them a lot.

Thanks! I'm actually looking on the Razer BlackWidow Tournament Editon with Razer Orange switches. Nah. Heading back to BlackWidow Chroma with Razer Oranges.

I am totally stuck between the G502 and the DeathAdder Chroma. I'll get back to this later.

The Razer Naga is also a really good mouse that is not only good for MMO games but FPS games as well.

G502 probably is more durable. But the DA is just too comfortable (for me). I'm still to find a better mouse for my hand.

As much as i Lovew the corsair RGB I'll probaby just get a regular k70 with reds and double mouse with a razer naga and a m65.

I think I will be looking at the DA, not because I am a Razer fanboy, but easier to control with Synapse 2.0.

 

People tend to think that if you buy a Razer product you're a fanboy and that's just wrong. Sure, if you buy something from them you're probably paying some extra premium for no real advantages but it doesn't make you a fan boy.

I have the DA Chroma and love it. However, I would never buy a Razer headset or keyboard - not worth the price.
