Best mouse /keyboard

Post by sheepdog »

Hi Guys,

I saw Nexy's new computer thread, did I sense that that you all for the most part concur on the keyboard? Microsoft optical pro, right?

I am such a poor keyboarder though that I am thinking that a mouse with some extra buttons might be helpful. Do those of you who have a "gaming mouse" like them? Would a mouse with extra buttons be helpful to an old woman who was a klutz even when she was a young woman?

Thanks for any advice you might give me. :)

The Logitech MX900 is nice and im about to grab it soon. I'm replacing my Razer Boomslang which has been in service for nearly 4 years (the third revision of the origional 2000 series.)

I have the MX 1000 (cordless laser), and its pretty nice. I prefer my old MX300 for games though, because its smaller and lighter.

mx 500/510 is pretty good for gaming/flight sims. cos its corded it doenst go to sleep saving the embaressment of getting blown to bits if you stop moving it for 2 mins or so. also its a pretty blue colour :)

Keytronic Lifetime Series keyboards are excellent. They have a denser wire matrix therefore you can push more keys in one area without one dropping out.
