What are YOUR computer peripherals?! (MOUSE/KEYBOARD)
« on: October 08, 2007, 08:44:07 AM »
There's a few posts on "The best gaming mouse..." etc... but here I'm more interested in what people use for a keyboard. I'm in the market for a new one since mine is having some trouble with my new computer (randomly disconnects itself?)...

For the last (4?) years... pretty much the entire time I've played Q2 I've used the:  Logitech Media Elite. I've gone through 2 of these keyboards so far (The legs keep breaking! Cheapo plastic shit). They've been good for me through those years but it's time for something new. Any suggestions? What do YOU use?

As for a mouse...

I've gone through many mice. Believe I started with the classic MS Explorer (which is still a good mouse imo). When the Razer Diamondback was released I picked that up (awesome mouse as well, I recommend it).  Then I got my first laser mouse... the Habu (Laser mice suck, stick with optical). Now I use the Razer DeathAdder which so far has been the best mouse I ever owned. Has the comfort of the IE mice with the precision and speed of a laser mouse (although it's optical). Very controllable especially when placed on a ugly ass Razer Mantis Control Mouse Pad.

Keyboard,     I think mine predates the pentium II.   :)

mouse,  Logitech g5.   Havnt had a bad time with it,  being laser I was worried on account of ppl saying they suck.
             only beef I have with it is mouse3 (pressing in on the mouse wheel) is a bitch to press without also activating
             the side scroll feature of the wheel,  or scrolling it up or down.   mx518 that was so easy.
             I dont think I even use mouse3 for anything right now.  I just moved what mouse3 did over to the sidescroll :)   

             I do miss my mx518 just on account of the button placement though.  2 thumb buttons ruled

Headphones,  logitech behing the head over the ear ones.  If they had a propper name it was on the microphone shaft
                        which didnt last for more than a month,  so I dunno.

Ended up getting the Microsoft Reclusa as my new keyboard. Old one just stopped working last night so I was forced to go to the store and buy one for 2x the cost of Newegg... besides the extra price I'm happy with it. Very responsive, has a back light for keys and does profile macroing which I'll probably never use. All in all, it gets the job done.

Plain jane keyboard (says windows 98 on bottom).
Destroyed many Logitech 510, 518 mice (mouse1 button stopped working).
Next up Razer Diamondback. Loved the diamondback also use one in office. Killed home diamondback.
Current mouse - Razer Deathadder, nice size for my hand (diamondback kinda small and thin) but its been a little different for some reason. just doesnt feel as responsive as diamondback. crosshair seems to lag behind mouse movement but not a sensitivity adjustment.   :frustration:

Killed my mk518 within a couple of months of purchase, scroll wheel completely stopped functioning, mouse1 would stick, and I'd start doing ice capades mid game, which sucks cuz that mouse really improved my movement. Bought a Deathadder. Jury is still out on it. I hated the damn thing until I uninstalled the drivers.

My keyboard is new as well, Saitek Eclipse II, gaming keyboard. Yeah, I admit, I bought the damn thing cuz it lights up funky colors. That's about the coolest thing I can say about it. I am not convinced it's as responsive as other keyboards out there. Functionality isn't worth writing about, but gosh darn it, it sure looks cool with the lights out!  :uzi2:

No, YOU are the liar, Erica had nothing to do with it. YOU sent pictures to everyone in IRC and YOU propagated the story, no one else.

What suffering are you talking about? Are YOU suffering? Is that why you keep coming here being an asshole posting dumb shit like that? Are you the victim?

Erica made up a lie 10 years ago and here you are, again, perpetuating the same lie 10 years later.

Michael, everyone eventually finds the level of suffering they're willing to learn from, even soulless evil filth like you.
