I can't recommend the chlamydia. It's not good.

Sounds to me like he's looking for action games, hence the gaming mouse, but one with historical or realistic roots. I'd say probably shooters with that gear. The Battlefield games are pretty popular as is Counter-Strike. Of course there's WWII Online which offers an array of combat options (air, armor and infantry) in a fairly realistic wrapper. I don't play many shooters myself but that's a start. If you want to get more into flight simulations you might want to look into joysticks or HOTAS setups.

Since the question was asked here at SUBSIM Radio Room, the answer must be:

Dangerous Waters

Functional Mouse and keyboard is all you need for it to bring living in your nickname...

Be shure to read both reviews before you buy it.
