Looking to go the next step to upgrade my living room setup. I decided I don't really want to switch between PCs with a KM switch and I'm fine with having 2 sets of mouse and keyboard lying around. So right now I'm looking for a wireless keyboard and mouse combo. For my SPC I'm using a cheap Logitech combo, for my GPC I'll try to get something other than Logitech to avoid crosstalk or some other nonsense.
Looking at the usual combos I can only find the regular "office" peripherals which aren't enough for me because for gaming I'd like to have a 5 button mouse. I don't need any gaming features and neither mouse nor keyboard should be bulky. Of course the keyboard should not be mechanical because I'm not an animal.
For a mouse I'll take the Steelseries Rival 3 because I love Steelseries. Sadly Steelseries doesn't have wireless keyboards so I'm still looking for that. edit: apparently nobody except Logitech and no-name brands make wireless keyboards. The only other keyboard I could find was the Corsair K57. edit: Got the K57 and I'll see how it works out. Wireless gaming keyboards seem to all be shit. |
I have a K57 w/ lapboard and G305 for living room gaming. Both work pretty well but I wish the keyboard were quieter w/ red lights (not blue) and while the G305 gets great battery life its thumb buttons suck. My living room web browsing is mostly done on an old K400, though. Typing and tracking could be better but the battery life is insane and its served me well for several years, now. |
I'm using the Logitech MK540 for my SPC right now and it's really great for that. Battery life for both mouse and l keyboard are amazing. Typing on those weird flat keys took some getting used to but is fine now. But it would suck for serious gaming. I was initially looking at the K800 but it seems to have the same keys, so I went for the K57 which has proper keys.
Good thing is I won't use my gaming KBM too often so battery life isn't any concern and neither should the RGB be a problem.
