Suggested Gaming Periphirals

[Guest]

Hello! I just built a new gaming rig, and I'm looking for three specific items, potentially four.
1) First, I need a gaming mouse that is solid and works well. It doesn't need too many buttons or anything fancy, it just needs to be accurate. I would prefer a wired connection, and also would like the cable to be braided.
2)Second, I need to get a keyboard. I've looked at multiple options and would like to get a mechanical keyboard, one with a satisfying click when you press the buttons . Like the mouse, I would like it to have a braided cable.
3)Third and finally, I would like to get a good gaming headset, preferably wireless. I would like to get one with surround sound capability, just for determining directions, but audio quality is not a big deal to me, I just need to know where the sound is coming from. I don't want to drop $200+ into a headset alone, so please try to keep it under that.

Note: My rig's color scheme is black with blue lighting, so I'd also like to get peripherals that match this lighting scheme if possible. Thank you in advance!

For a mouse i'd probably go with a Razer DeatAdder.

For the keyboard, which switches do you prefer? Do you want Tenkeyless, backlighting or macro keys? I find Mechanicals loud enough without the extra click from Blue switches. Personally I like Reds which do not have a tactile actuation point but if you do a lot of typing i'd recommend Browns.

Are you in the US?

Yes, I am in the US. I don't know about different types of mechanical switches, sorry. All I know is that I LOVED the feel of the Razer BlackWidow when I went to BestBuy the other day and tried it out, so whatever those switches are, I guess.

Get the blackwidow then? I have it, they're chiclet, like laptop keys no?

You're not going to want a braided cable for your mouse. Braided cables are a gimmick and they restrict movement. if you like clicky keyboards, you're going to want to look for a mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Blue keys.

It looks like the BlackWidow uses MX Blue switches, so I'd like to go with those.

The BlackWiddow comes with a few different switches, Blues, Browns and Razer Green and orange. Did they make a 'Click' sound or could you just feel the clicking point at about 2mm?

They made a definite click sound, which I love.

Well, I would get the blackwidow, but I'd really like something with a black and blue color scheme. I'll probably go with the deathadder for a mouse, since I know I can get it in blue.

Yeah i have the deathadder 2013 edition, the blue one and it's really comfy and nice, razer are releasing a pricey version of the blackwidow aswell, where you can change the colours

OK they are Cherry Blue or Razer Green. I'd probably go for Cherry switches just because they are a proven switch. The Razer switches only came out this year and I don't really feel like they've been on the market long enough to prove themselves reliable yet.

Here is a list of the keyboards by price in brands that are known for good mechanical KB's. I'd probably go with the CM QuickFire Ultimate, given the blue backlighting and price.

I have this for a mouse, not too expensive and works great:
