Replacement for MX518 and a new keyboard

[Mixzzz]

I am in need of a new mouse and keyboard for my 2nd workstation(actually the 2nd seat at my multiseat setup). I have Logitech MX518 and some generic Logitech keyboard that is surprisingly good but since the 2nd workstation needs upgrade really badly, I just might upgrade the peripherals for myself.

 

I still like the MX518 and I'm not sure if I really need to upgrade it though, maybe just get a new mouse for the 2nd. I don't want to spend a ton of money and I don't like gamer and transformer type stuff really, I want something that looks like a regular mouse with forward and back buttons if possible, but feels nice in hand and has a good enough sensor.

 

As for the keyboard - Also don't really need gamery and red/black stuff. Backlight would be nice, probs mech(browns? havent followed the keyboard world for quite a while now ) if I'm going to buy a new keyboard. Numpad is a must though - I use it fairly often. 

 

So start firing your suggestions

Budget? Do you prefer wireless? Try the G602.

I use a CM Storm Devastator for my keyboard and mouse, absolutely love it. It's also great for budgets. That is, if you don't require a Logitech keyboard..

Naah, I prefer wired because of the few times the mouse decided to turn off while in csgo match  There is no specific budget, something midrange probably as I dont want to spend tons of money.

I don't really require a logitech keyboard, it just happens to be so that both are logitech at the moment.

Go for the CM Storm Devastator! I've had mine for a couple years, never had any cause to regret it

Hmm, I'll think about it, was thinking about mech keyboard but seeing that they cost 100e+ I might just get this and deal with it  Rather spend the money on car

+1 to this. I used a devastator combo for quite a while, no complaints for that price. Although the mouse cable did end up getting stripped by the edge of the edge of my old desk since it didn't have a braided cable.

 

If you wan't a different mouse try the Red Dragon M601. It's what I personally use, and for $12 you seriously can't beat it. It's not too gamery looking, 3 dpi settings, little bumps on the forward button on the side so you don't confuse the two, a braided cable, and even adjustable weights.

Not thinking about that cheap either, might try out the g403 as suggested above
