Upgrade Help!?!

[Omnifizix]

Hi!
 

I want to upgrade my mouse and keyboard.

 

I currently use a Deathadder, but the tracking is weird and the clicks are too subtle.

 

I am looking at 2 mice at the moment. I use a mix of palm and fingertip, where my palm touches the mouse but my fingers have a small space between it and the mouse.

 

- Zowie EC1-B 

- SteelSeries Rival 600

 

Which is better?

I currently don't have a keyboard, (on my laptop rn) and I am deciding between these 3:

 

- Ducky Shine 6

- Corsair K70 Lux RGB

 

What should I choose?

(Blue switches btw)

I'm not sure you're going to end up using all the features of the 600, so take a minute to ensure that its worth the extra $20 to step up from the Rival 310.

Depends on how much RGB control you want, and if you want dedicated media keys. As a K70 owner, I can easily recommend the K70. There is no K70 Platinum, by the way. The next step up would be the K95, which doesn't offer Cherry MX Blues.

Zowie and Ducky.

[Hiya!]

Rival 600 is overpriced just because it has overkill sensor and gimmicky lift off distance.

I'd just get the Zowie u wont regret it they has a really safe shape.

and it has one of the best optical sensor PMW3360.

as for the keyboard i'd get the K70 Brown

[Omnifizix]

I think I will go to a store and try out the Ducky and Corsair.

 

Does the zowie have any problems?

[Omnifizix]

What does the K70 have over the Ducky and vice versa?

The K70 has a more flexible suite of dedicated media controls (Play/Pause, Stop, Next Track, Previous Track, Mute, Physical Volume Wheel), individual key RGB customizability with community-made profiles, has a USB passthrough and comes with a wrist rest.

 

The Ducky has a detachable cable, dedicated volume keys, removable rubber feet, and has side RGB lighting.

Thanks a lot! Does K70 have a better build quality and are the lights bright? I think I might go for the K70 now  Sorry for all the questions!

@Homeless Pineapple

 

K70 LUX RGB BTW

[Omnifizix]

Difference between K70 LUX RGB and K70 RGB?

No they make the best simple mice ever without tons of gimmick like other gaming manufacturer always does.

LUX RGB has new controller for a more fluid lighting, USB Pass through and STRAFE keycaps comparing it to the older K70 RGB.

K70 LUX RGB BTW

The K70 LUX is constructed of brushed aluminum. It feels very premium and the keycaps seem to be holding up very well. The lights are bright enough to be seen from any viewing angle. The Ducky Shine 6 is plastic.

 

The CUE software has also gotten a lot better. If you're willing to spend some time in Advanced mode, you'll be able to make custom profiles in a breeze.

If you are still looking for a mouse, I can VERY STRONGLY recommend the Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum

I use the same style grip as you, and this mouse is VERY comfortable and light, and the "less subtle" clicking you asked for is definitely a feature as well, since it uses a different architecture than normal for main mouse buttons

both wired and wireless modes have a 1ms latency 

it is UNBELIEVABLY good, the battery life is insane, 32 hours on full charge, with lighting off mind you, doesn't really make a huge difference anyways

the software for configuring it is also very easy to use, you can see it at the bottom of my post. I took several so you can extensively see the software you would be using before buying the mouse. the software is free by the way and its name is Logitech Gaming Software

 

Hope my post really helps you out in your decision, this might just the the last gaming mouse I ever buy!

here are some very in depth videos covering this mouse

from LTT

this will be from the viewpoint of someone who has YEARS of experience with FPS games, and the G900 will be compared to several other mice

 

 

[TheMusicalPALADIN]

forgot to say that i have had this mouse for about 3 years, and it still performing EXACTLY the same as when I first bought it, and havent had to replace any of the feet. very strong and reliable build

[Omnifizix]

Does the K95 RGB (not platinum) have a textured space bar and a place to plugin in your headphones?

[TheMusicalPALADIN]

textured space bar - yes, looks like this

aux output port - no, not mention in the features, and no picture of the backside of the keyboard near where the main cable is, where I would expect it to be found

 

ALSO you should note that I did not see a Cherry MX blue switch version of the non platinum K95

[Omnifizix]

@TheMusicalPALADIN

Blue MX K95.

 

Also I can't really see the texture on the K95, is there a clearer picture?\

 

Edit; I just read that it was discontinued

Looks like I'll be getting the Ducky.

[TheMusicalPALADIN]

if this is the one you are talking about....

in my opinion that is a pretty fishy buy

instead of having a solid and durable attached cable, its a micro usb cable going between the computer and keyboard. honestly havent seen that before in a GAMING oriented keyboard, where you would think durability should be a focus point. Have you seen any reviews on it?

[TheMusicalPALADIN]

theres also only 4 reviews of it, which isnt a good sign, and one of them is a 1 star

[Omnifizix]

@TheMusicalPALADIN

 

I recently just tried the Hyper X Alloy Elite RGB and I really liked it!

 

And yeah the Ducky looks a little fishy, but lots of people seem to have good opinions on it. My friend has one and I'm going to try it soon.

[TheMusicalPALADIN]

did you already pick out a mouse?

[Omnifizix]

I am going to Fry's today to try out the SteelSeries and Zowie so not yet! I will try out the G903 if they have it on display.

[TheMusicalPALADIN]

the g903 isnt worth the money in my opinon

besides the extra feature you are paying more for is useless unless you also buy the expensive mouse pad

[Omnifizix]

Sorry I meant G900*
