A peripheral overhaul

[UnknownEngineer]

As the title says, i am planning on a complete peripheral overhaul, that means Mouse, Keyboard, Mouse-pad and even headphones.

 

Current

Mouse, Logitech G300 (i like it because it has so many buttons, if i am going to get something new it should have the same amount of buttons, i play ARMA 2-3. DPI? higher please. Size? slightly bigger  :wub: )

price anything south 60€ if possible, although i am just in planning now so don't mind going over slightly.

 

Keyboard, an OEM Emachines thing, it uses membranes (something with MX reds, for gaming mostly but i do type alot. otherwise as long as its Nordic and has a short LShift it is probably fine.) Price same as mouse.

 

Mouse-pad, currently an office use mat. (anything is better pretty-much, for gaming size? i have a carpet already thanks.) 10€ max

 

Headphones, creative Fatal1ty. (something better, Mobo Z77 Pro 3, on-board audio device). Price? same as mouse and KB.

 

i am really getting tired of my current ones because the mouse is shuddering some times, the pad is distorting my mouse movements and probably capping it accuracy as well. The KB, well it is almost broken in half, but that's a whole different story, i have changed, i swear.

G500, Sidewinder X4, Steelseries mouse pad, and you won't get any headset that is worth upgrade to for that price

Logitech G600 (way more buttons than you need, but you'll never hit one accidentally and it is fantastic) or G500s, CM Storm Quickfire, Steelseries QcK or 9HD, Headphones I'm not too sure in that price range.

SteelSeries Sensei [RAW], non [RAW] or Deathadder 2013 if you can find it cheap. Cheapest mechanical keyboard you find (SteelSeries 6Gv2 and Tesoro Durandal should meet your pricepoint). SteelSeries QcK mousepad, headset--SteelSeries 5Hv3 or Siberia V2.

Mechanical keyboards usually start at 80 euros but I found the Meka for around 60. Its not MX Reds but Blacks are same linear style but only with a bit higher force required.

 

If you want a mouse with lots of buttons, it seems you will have to increase the budget to 80e or so. The G600 and Naga prices start at around 75e depending where you buy them. The Inferno I linked has quite a few buttons but not tons of them. The Inferno also has the "only" laser sensor without acceleration or prediction, but has a lift bug instead (the cursor moves a bit when lifting the mouse).

 

You can usually pick a SteelSeries QCK mouse pad anywhere for around 10e. Its a good basic pad.

 

Headphones + External Mic is usually superior AND cheaper combination than a headset. And for your budget you aren't getting anything amazing. The Superlux headphones are amazing for their price and the Zalman clip-on mic is good enough and really low price. You won't need any sound card with them either, on-board is good enough!

The Sidewinder X4 is currently discontinued IIRC but you could probably snag one for a cheap price.
