It's alright. I appreciate your recommendation.

Umm I bought an affordable Logitech gaming mouse couple months ago. Never regret it one bit. It's only a 1800dpi mouse compared to more expensive 5000 dpi mouse but I still think the quality you get justifies the price and more because you actually use it day in day out.

Hoping a quality keyboard would get me that quality feel as well. Was considering to get a quality keyboard sometime ago but decided against it. Now I'm tempted again

Now a mouse is important, no point online playing a fps or mmo and your mouse acts like its on crack. Logitech gaming mouse are worthwhile. Have myself a lazor mouse with 5 side buttons for configuring 4yrs old now and im thinking of replacing it, 2 of the config buttons no longer respond like they should.

Got a G110 here, must say it's a very nice board. Payed far too much considering I don't use half of it's features though.

Umm I actualy need my mouse to go to lowest dpi as possible. The expensive mouses I read can go to as high as 5000 dpi. I barely ever use 1800dpi(normal mouse has 900dpi). However I do use 400dpi A LOT to aim far. I wish mine could go to 200 still but it doesn't. I think MX518 lowest dpi setting is just 400.

It's indeed nice. Aaw I'm still tempted to buy myself a premium keyboard. If not for my obsession with durability . . . Right now the all mechanical keyboard seems like a great value. All mechanical keyboard has more than twice the lifespan of the others keyboards. Even 5 times over one type of keyboard. If I buy the Lit keys blackwidow and the light went off before the keys do I'd be quite upset.


If not maybe Starcraft 2 but somehow I believe my age is well past Starcraft 2. I'm glad I found and bought Company of Heroes Anthology to fill my rts appetite.

I just realized I'm a bit silly. I think little when ordering boardgame which costs more than the blackwidow ultimate while knowing that I have almost no chance playing it(since it's a tactical wargame and no one likes it).

Overall a good keyboard could be justified for me as I spend considerable time using it. I could use the lit keys very much. The average LED life time is about 100,000 hours and I calculated that into a little more than 11 years if you keep it on all the time. Practical use could see more than that.

And I got the feeling the price isn't going to stay that low much longer. Few years from now the same quality would probably cost a lot more.

I bought a Saitek Eclipse II just before CompUSA moved out of So. Ca.

Haven't had a problem in all these years. Bought a Logitech G19 just because I like all it's toys. Never use most of them.

I like that G110 Good layout and features and, definitely a GOOD price.

If the backlite is bright I'de have bought it instead of the G19.

Ever try just scaling back the mouse sensitivity in the game? It's what I do, that way I can toggle back the dpi for precision targeting and still have the speed.

[Arclight]

^ that. Set it up so the highest DPI gives you the highest speed you're comfortable with. For me that generally means putting the sensitivity in-game all the way back.

I have a Logitech G15, has been very good but getting old, some of the ones you have listed look nice but I can't comment on them regards quality, if it were me I would search for some reviews on the final contenders.

Been a Logitech fan myself, would love to have the K800
