what keyboard and mouse you all using? i might treat myself to a new set for christmas so if theres any that you recommend then let us know.
the keyboard i've got is ok but its hard to see in the dark so a lighted one is what i'll prolly go for and 2 button mouse with scroll wheel (still got Good Homers "borrowed" mouse)
i play on FPSs so use my mouse a lot (i'm cack handed too so no curved right handed mice)
i've seen on ebay the Razer and Saitek keyboards so if anyone knows if their good/bad? |

Programmable kbds are handy for FPS and the Microsoft offering is the best out there at the moment. Removable Number Pad which can be mounted on the left is teriffic and the illuminated keys are superb. All that said and I use a Genius cheapie and swear by it (not at it) www.geniusnet.com
Logitech G5 is the perfect gaming mouse imo _________________

You're telling me Dan, the reciever for my trust wireless keyboard and mouse set's connect button broke months ago and the mouse had an appetite for new AAs. These days I use Mikomi (yes, from Argos) cheap-as-chips peripherals I bought ages ago for the PS3 as a stopgap. _________________

right click the keyboard profiler (task bar) select open,>setting>gamepanel manager>programs
Then deselect what you don`t want _________________ Never underestimate the power of stupidity. |
