^^No they aren't.

A super sensative mouse, to a regular mouse, as an HD TV is to a SD TV. A sensative laser tracking mouse "sees" more than your run of the mill laser mouse.

Here, just so I don't have to try and argue with you about the keyboard,  Ithink these next three links will pretty much answer all your failed rebuttle against said hardware.

Fully customizeable keyboard http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/77ba?cpg=cj You can put the keys wherever you want.

Fully programmable keyboard http://www.gogamer.com/Razer-Lycosa-Gaming-Keyboard-Keyboards_stcVVproductId26983318VVcatId444858VVviewprod.htm   With this bad boy, you can program keys to run button combo macros. so instead of hitting a four button combo, you just hit one button.

A specialized gaming keyboard http://www.cdromshop.com/cdshop/desc/p.826734003458.html This one is set up to reduce the chance of hitting the wrong key, it is also more comfortable and is "quicker" to use than your average keyboard. 

These are just three of literally thousands of specialized gaming keyboards out there.

I ask you this, if graphics don't impact gameplay and skill, why did you bring up having better graphics as a retort to my saying they don't really matter. Also, why would you say "They are all too slow, simplified, and innacurate to manage to do anything to something moves faster than 2 pixels a second on the screen." It would seem that once again, you contradict yourself. Anyway, I really don't know why you call yourself a PC gamer, you know less about PC gaming hardware than my little sister...and she doesn't game at all.

Hey, one last word of advice, please re-read your posts, it's hard to understand what you mean with all the typos.

Why are ALL you guys forgetting the ultimate PC gaming accessory? This single handedly destroys motion control and even gaming mice.

That is cool!

Don't blame the modding community for you inability to report something you don't like.  We don't scower the forums trying to find people breaking rules and if you don't care enough to press a button and explain what happenned I find it hard to care about your objections about the moderators.

A warning has been passed out.

EACH AND EVERY COPY OF A USED OR RENTAL GAME HAS GIVEN MONEY TO DEVELOPERS.  What do you not understand about this concept and how it is different from pirated games, that can have thousands of copies of a game and only one original that developers got paid from? 

With used/rental games, only one person at a time owns (or 'controls' in the case of rental) the game and only one console/PC can play it at a time*.  This is different from pirated copies of a game that can have indefinite numbers of people all "owning" and playing the game simultaneously on their own consoles/PCs based on only that one legitimate copy.  It is not the same thing.  I don't know why you are failing to hard at seeing the difference, but I suspect it has to do with legitimizing piracy in your mind (since it's 'not any worse' than renting to you). 

*Well, aside from stuff like DS download play, but that's still tied to the cartridge. 

Actually Torillian, I did report the guy, probably while you were posting that. Anyway, I have reported people for much worse, and nothing ever came of it. 

well someone else reported it before you, and that's why I moderated it. In general if you have an issue with something report it, otherwise don't complain when nothing is done.

I honestly thought you'd have atleast realized enough to throw the G15 at me (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3498&cl=US,EN) but you chose even worse keyboards. Please explain to me how the ones you showed me will "maximize keypresses." Are they any closer than the WASD and the space key? Do they somehow offer quicker response between the Keybaord and the game? I don't think so. The only thing that I can think of that it has a benefit in are RTS games or other games that have multiple hotkeys to get an action, like Stracraft for buildings/units. 

Let me show you what the best of the best when it comes to shooters uses:

That's right. DO you see any extra keybindings or anything? Yeah.... I didn't think so. All it has is LED backlight. Which is only so he can play in the dark. Yeah.... please find somethign else to whine about.

Mice: Really? REALLY? Honestly the only reason I don't use a ball mouse right now is because I don't wanna clean it all the time and the weight. And I also only bought a laser mouse so that I can play on almost any surface I want, since it's a laptop and it moves around a lot. Most of your uber mice nowadays come with weights so you can adjust to whatever you were used to beforehand and the only true benefit mice can offer are on the fly sensitivity changes. Which you can write a nice lil bind on your KBD anyhow.

You never broought up graphics outside of saying that better graphics = more skill, which is outright false. People consistently turn off things such as bloom, mouse acceleraton, motion blur, etc. because those effects make it more difficult to see people from the background. And truth, I meant that you can't do anything to something that moves faster than 2 pixels a second. Typing at 2am while working on lisp has adverse effects on my spelling.

Cool keyboards, but I still think you're making a mountain out of a mole hill with this keyboard and mouse argument. Especially if, like I said in my other post a few pages back, my Logitech G5 mouse cost about $45 which is $10 less than a Dualshock 3 and good for much more than games (Makes using software like Final Cut Pro on Macs so much better). Mainly, it offers more buttons and a higher quality and higher DPI laser engine or whatever it's called that can be used on any surface I've tried (though I don't play games with the mouse on my pant leg) and the laser doesn't stop after a period of inactivity like the basic mice do. Like I said before, I used to play my games with a standard mouse and did well. Heck, the Logitech G5 sucks in Half-Life 1 engine games since for some reason it has trouble moving diagonally.

Also, why comment about controls having simplified layouts if you're going to post a keyboard with a dedicated area for playing games (the third link)? As for myself, I'm still sticking to my old keyboards. lol, I not only used to play FPS games with the arrow keys of a keyboard, but I was also very good at Counter-Strike on an ergonomic keyboard and it had small arrow keys in the shape of a diamond (the same thing as the image below).

As for graphics, you can go in a number of ways. If you want you can get the very best out of everything, but it'll obviously cost you. You could also just turn down graphical settings if you're computer can't handle it and have fun. I've played Battlefield 2 with a mere x300 for a while and that didn't kill the overall experience one bit. In fact, since I could only display low settings, the game ran perfectly. You could also have a good computer, but just turn down some settings that can hurt your frame rate and aren't too important. Team fortress 2 might have some jaggies and doesn't always run over 60fps, but I've put in over 200 hours playing it and it's still fun as hell. You can do whatever you want and it's not like you're tied down, unless your computer can't run ANYTHING.

Lastly, I've already pointed out that the Radeon 4870 is a good card and only costs around $130-150, much less than your $500 suggestion from earlier on. Again, you don't need to spend $500 on something like a GTX 295 unless you're tower is packed with top tier hardware with a large monitor that can display your games in the highest resolution possible.

@SSJ, because it costs too much :P

I also really wanted to try it, but didn't get a chance when they had demo tents up on campus one day.... But no, I had to put my tuition to good use and go to class.
