Questions about Gaming Mouse and Keyboard

[djpabz23]

Well guys, after saving up money for quite sometimes, I managed to go from gaming on a laptop with a GeForce 650M to building my own beefy gaming desktop. The only parts I'm missing are the keyboard and mouse.

 

I was searching around eBay and Amazon and I came across the Corsair K95 RGB keyboard and it was like love at first sight! As weird as it sounds, I just love how it changed colors and how high people were rating it. 

So, I googled around trying to find information and I found that many people have been getting dead LED's. Does it happen most/all Corsair K95's or only a few unlucky people? I mean I know it's just backlighting, but with OCD, it sucks seeing at least 1 key not lighting up  .  

 

So, do you guys recommend buying the K95 or is there better choice? I want a full RGB that you can switch out the colors, but if they all have problems, I guess I can stick with a one colored keyboard.

 

Also, for the mouse I chose a Corsair M65, do you guys recommend this mouse or should I go for a different one? I want it to be RGB as well to go with the keyboard!

 

Yeah, OCD is a pain!

With rgb you're taking a risk. Since each key is individually lit there is more room for error. BUT i think you should take that risk as it is not common for this to happen

Better to use a Ducky Shine 4 which has multiple color options but isn't RGB than a K95 which has all the LED issues. And for the mouse, the M65 isn't terrible unless you're super competitive at something like CS:GO where having an optical sensor is important.

I'll most likely play competitively from time to time, not often. I just want a great mouse to be my daily driver which looks, feels, and handles great.

It's not a great FPS mouse TBH. The Corsair M45 is much better if you like that shape.

Thoughts on the Logiteh G910 Orion Spark?

I personally hate that keyboard a lot and it is WAY overpriced. Get yourself a nice mechanical keyboard. Look at the link in my sig for info on these switches so we can get you something that you'll enjoy typing on more.
