What is the best keyboard and mouse for an all around gaming and working experience.

There isn't really a right answer to this question, it's subjective.

It comes down to personal preference at the end of the day. Example, I have a GB Krypton and Osmium but my mate has a run of the mill low end MS combo and we both swear by them. I can't stand his keyboard and mouse and he can't stand mine.

It's very subjective. We can't give you a proper answer without giving us more details.

Mechanical keyboards are preferred, but they have different switches. Look here.

Mice have different ergonomics which is probably the most important thing when purchasing a mouse. Give us more info on the grip you use, features you want and most importantly your budget.

Keyboard:
Corsair (idk the name) with Cherry MX Reds

Razer Ultimate 2014. I use it for gaming, school, work, and programming. Alot of youtubers use it also. It has the Razer Cherry MX Green Alternatives with 0.05 mm touch and 9 key anti ghosting.

 

Mice:
Razer Naga 2014. Great for gaming, not too good for work. Reason being is it spreads out your hand, so if you do graphic design, it's not too precise.

Razer Naga HEX. Great for non moba gaming. It only has 11 customizable buttons vs. 19. Instead of a keypad thumbpad format, it's a hex around your thumb. useful for FPS games.

Razer Deathadder. Great for design, mediocre gaming, and non professional anything else. It's the the almost exact copy of SteelSeries' rival.

SteelSeries Rival. If you can get this, get the deathadder because Razer is way more professional on warrenties and repairs, and the Rival can easily break with it's non braided elastic wire.

 

Headphones:
Just use earbuds from Walmart, Walgreens, Target, etc. BUT if you want to look professional, get the SteelSeries Siberia RAW. It's cheap and pretty high quality.

Experience: I own most all of these (minus the naga hex, which I borrowed to see how nice it was, the Corsair because I just got my blackwidow last year, and the Deathadder because my friend bought it, and I see him alot so I use it if I forget my naga.)

Ewww I've tried Gigabyte and it didn't impress me. Plus the stats aren't as good compared to Razer. Asus and Logitech just end up stealing from Corsair or Razer. Razer IMO is the best option for lasting long and meeting up with it's advertised requirements. SteelSeries is great for feel and kind of for comfort, but the products have a really bad warrently time, and the staff is bad. Corsair is really good for looks and will impress all your friends. That about all that it does though. Otherwise, treat corsair products like a normal keyboard. Logitech and Asus are just like the Razer naga or blackwidow. Just a worse version. PLUS if you buy Logitech, you're making a public statement saying "I'm too poor of a douche to afford any really good namebrand gaming perifrial." Even though some teams would "swear to" Logitech, they're paid to use the equiptment.

 

I obviously don't like logitech.

Experience:

4+ Logitech equiptment dying in less than 4 months.

SteelSeries Rival and Siberia

Razer Naga (2x) and BlackWidow

Windowshopping corsair wishing I didn't have the blackwidow so I could get the cheaper RGB version of the Blackwidow by Corsair.

What is the best keyboard and mouse for an all around gaming and working experience.

It's hard to recommend the best keyboard and mouse, because the 'best' is subjective. Some people will love mechanical keyswitches, others prefer membrane keyboards.

If you're looking for a membrane keyboard, it doesn't matter, any will do. For a mechanical keyboard, I recommend the Cooler Master Quickfire TK MX Blue as that is what I currently use. Awesome for typing and I love it for gaming. The Corsair K70 series of keyboards are also highly recommended. For Cherry MX switches, it is recommended that you try out a keyboard with them first, a local PC hardware store may stock and display them, so I'd go check them out first.

For a mouse, the Logitech G502 is a great mouse and recommended by many people (including myself). A couple of other good mice are the Logitech G402 (cheaper than the G502), Corsair Raptor M45 and Mionix NAOS 7000. Any mouse by Zowie is also highly recommended, especially for hardcore fps games like CS:GO.

Corsair K70 is a great keyboard is one of the most iconic keyboards out there. The hardware is amazing but the corsair software lets it down. Still a great keyboard, red or brown switches is up to you, both feel similar but browns have that clicky tactile feel. I would recommend the k70.

For mouse, the logitech g502 is a good bet. Although not everyone had a pleasant experience, but that applies to every single mice out there, most people were satisfied and love the g502, best sensor on the market. if you want a lighter version, then g303 as it has same sensor. otherwise the final mouse 2015 is good as well.
