Was thinking of finally getting around to replacing the 2 ancient ones i have now. 

For a mouse I was leaning towards the Corsair M65. I'd mostly play shooters so the sniper button looks kinda cool. Only problem is I have bigger hands and the mouse looks kind of small. Any one got it and would like to share their thoughts or any other recomentions?

For a keyboard I only looked into that about 6 months ago so most of my knowledge is gone with that now. So just looking for sugestions on this one.

Never played with Corsair before, but I can recommend the one I'm using now; Roccat Kone. It's simply incredible at everything! Desktop work, gaming, browsing, supreme quality, tons of features and customization and it's even cheap to buy.

As for keyboards, I have had the same one for seven years so I know nothing about what new ones have to offer... I think I might get a new one this fall though, a more ergonomic one, first and foremost because I write a lot at times, which is a very static form of use.

I was gonna get the Roccat M+K since they communicate with each other. But then I looked up the keyboard and it's not mechanical. What's it like for size? And what's it built from? The Corsair is aluminum so that's one of the reasons I was aiming for that.

Would be nice if I could test them out somewhere. Oh well. I'll just have to take a chance with whichever one I decide to buy.

Mine is not built with aluminium, but it has a nice surface that is both smooth and coarse at once, making the grip perfect, even after hours of use. The size is fairly standard, I can imagine it being on the small side if you have large hands though. The weight it up to you, you get a small container with four weights in them with varying sizes, enabling you to make the mouse heavier or lighter as you wish.

I have a weight in the mid-range in it now, enough resistance to offer precision but not enough to cause discomfort over time. The lighting settings are also fun to play with and you can adjust the dpi all the way from 800 to 3200 and there are tons of other sensitivity and other features as well.
I really feel like I can set up the perfect mouse for myself with this kit and the price was, as mentioned, very reasonable (I paid around 100$ for it here in Norway, this was a few years ago so this was amazing value for money).

Nothing seems worn and the mouse still appears in mint condition, I can't even count the amount of hours its been used up to now, but it's probably about 4-5 hours per day on average, at least.

Very happy with my Logitech gaming mouse, though I know it isn't the most trendy of brands. For keyboards, I just buy a high-quality standard mechanical model. I've had a gaming keyboard and it really didn't feel worth the money.

for a mouse i really recommend picking something similar in shape to what you have now if possible, I find adjusting to new feelings and shapes quite annoying, the mouse i use its a logitech g9 and I think its very good, also nice that it comes with two grips to pick from, for keyboard i really recommend a mechanical keyboard, I feel that they are much more tactile to use and you can find ones relatively cheap quite often, for example the razer blackwidow tournament edition

I have a Saitek Cyborg R.A.T.
It's easily the best mouse I have ever used.

However, they aren't exactly reliable, I go through one every 6-12 or so months, but it's so worth it. :P

I also have a Logitech G19 keyboard and in my opinion, it is a big heap of crap, go mechanical!

I'm also after a new keyboard as the one I currently use is starting to give me problems (the A/D keys as well as the arrow keys get stuck, terrible for gaming), but I'm not a demanding user: a wired keyboard with a few media keys and that isn't like the keyboards from laptops (I hate them with passion).

Which advantage do the mechanical keyboards have over the regular ones? Stiffer keys? I've read that the keys do a "click" every time you press them, making them louder than regular ones, Is this true?

As for the mouse, I'm happy with my current one. It's a Logitech one (I don't remember which one but it was less than 20 €). Wired, works very well and man, I love the free wheel!

The Roccat is more expensive than the Corsair. Think that's out of the running for me unfortunately.

The Cyborg reminds me of the Razer Ouroboros. Except it's a lot more expensive and I can't justify buying something for 6 months worth of use.

Think I'll just order the mouse I had in mind already later.

But keyboards I have no idea whatsoever. Mechanical for definite but that's all I know. Logitech don't do any do they?
