Decent keyboard and mouse?

[Omie]

I ordered this build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KBmkWX

 

I'm looking for a decent keyboard and mouse to go along with it, but I'm not looking to spend more than $100 for both mouse and keyboard combined.

 

Can someone recommend me a keyboard and mouse please?

Well if you want a mechanical keyboard you're out of luck really... Otherwise I'd highly recommend the logitech g502 mouse and some cheap-o membrane keyboard until you decide you can spend a little extra on a nice mechanical keyboard.

Is there a mechanical keyboard around the same price with a wrist rest?

Probably not, but let's see

There's this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823828012

And this

EDIT: The Ripjaws is cherry reds but they have an option for blues, and the Roccat is blacks.

Thanks! So I don't really have an idea between cherry red, blue etc. or what they really mean. Is there a certain switch I want?

during the black friday/cyber monday sales i saw the g502 core on 49.99 and the corsair strafe mech keyboard for 89.99, canadian currency, that translates to about 100 USD for both, now the specials are gone but im sure they migth come back in the future months. keep watching as your prices makes it not impossible but rather difficult.

Here's my simple guide!

 

Blues are very tactile which means they use a bit of force and you can really feel the keypress, they're also very noisy. If you've heard a streamer's mechanical keyboard be loud as all hell, chances are it's got blues in it.

 

Browns are like blues but not as noisy (still a bit though).

 

Reds are a lot more light on the touch, more gamery they say as well. They require less force to actuate.

 

Blacks, well I don't know.

Oh thanks! I really like the clicky sound so I guess I'll go with blue.

No idea. But if you look for a review it should show.

Thanks. Unfortunately I waited too long and the sale was gone at newegg. Amazon still has a sale but it's out of stock for the MX blue switches.

 

However I did find one on this site: http://www.avadirect.com/KM780R-Series-RIPJAWS-KM780R-MX-Red-LED-Illumination-Cherry-MX-Blue-Switch-6-Macro-Keys-Wired-USB-Black-Retail-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/Product/10866869

 

But I haven't heard of this site before. Do happen to know anything about this site? Im just hoping think it is a new, unopened product.
