Keyboard, Mouse, and Headset

[CyberFerno]

are the Logitech G910 Orion Spark keyboard, the Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum mouse, and the Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum headset worth it

worth is a very subjective.

If I had money to spend I would love it.

Top Tier:

Keyboard: Logitech G810 (or G910 if you like the fancy stuff) , Corsair K70, Logitech G Pro (TKL). 

Browns are regarded by most as the best switch in general, and romerG is a more stable, faster version of browns. It's great.

 

Mouse: Logitech G403 Wireless (It has no lag + No cable friction). If you want something lighter, go with the Scream One or a Zowie (Or wired g403 since its light)

 

Headset: I'd recommend just getting a nice headset (not gaming) and sticking a mod-mic on it.

 

 

Good for the price:

 

Keyboard: Corsairs new K63 is an amazing option for a budget, but it only comes in reds (which arent bad either way). Logitech's new metal plated keyboard is good for cheaper if you really want romer-g, just no media keys.

 

Mouse: Also not too sure about this one. Again just go zowie/finalmouse, or the wired version of the g403

 

Headset: Logitech G430

What are you paying for said peripherals? What is your budget?

 

The G533 is similar to the G933 but without LED lights, only DTS X, no macro buttons. If wireless is not a requirement i would suggest you get separate headphone and microphone.

Keyboard wise I'm personally not a fan of the feeling the RomerG switch has but its one of the quieter switches. 

If you want a mouse the G900 is one of the best but its expensive. If you want something cheaper but doesnt compromise in performance you can get the wired G403 or a Zowie EC-series mouse. Go here for recommendations --> http://www.rocketjumpninja.com/find-a-mouse/

Top tier keyboards are the HHKB, Topre Realforce, Customs, Varmilo, etc. Corsair is laughable in the enthusiast keyboard community; Logitech is better but still rarely recommended. The best gamery keyboards are probably Ducky and Masterkeys, with Masterkeys pulling ahead after a keycap swap.

 

Top tier "switches" are Topre, Zealio, Aristotle, Buckling spring, Matias, etc. Cherry doesn't make top-tier switches (Gateron and its modded variants are kings of the MX form factor). Browns usually aren't on top tier keyboards. Romer-G is different but not better than browns (many even group them with the bad browns like Zorro and old Kailh).

 

Agree with you on the mouse and headset, though. G403 Wireless is Amazon's deal of the day for $59.99 and would be a great choice for virtually any hand size. G900 follows in the G502's footsteps of sacrificing functionality for mostly useless features; if you do primarily office work and have a medium hand claw grip it makes sense; for virtually everyone else the G403 wireless is better.

 

Can't emphasize enough that real headphones with a real microphone will beat headsets at almost every price point (exception being HyperX Clouds ~$50). I haven't tried the 933 but the 930 was very underwhelming for the price.

I follow the whole keyboard enthusiast thing for a while. In reality does HHKB, Topre, Varmillo, etc bring to the table compared to corsair? Its really just the way those enthusiasts portray things, You know, the mindset where the smaller brands are so much better and everything else is shit

 

edit: except pbt keycaps

Topre is a $1B+ company; they're not exactly a small brand. I ranked the Masterkeys ahead of Ducky. The are objective force curves that show that Zealios are less scratchy and more tactile than Cherries. I'm not just picking small brands; I'm picking brands that make high-quality components. Corsair has failed to impress me.
