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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
