Mouse & Keyboard Setup...

**zigzag** · #1 10-30-2008, 01:41 PM

It's time to replace my 15+ year old keyboard (it's absolutely disgusting) and my 11 y.o. mouse (not even optical!). What type of mouse & keyboard are you guys using? I've been looking at the Logitech MX518 or possibly the G9 (very spendy). As for keyboards, the Logitech G15 looks really nice. Since I only seem to update my keyboard & mouse every decade or so I feel it's ok to spend a bit on them. What do you guys use? Any opinions on the above selections?

I use and love my logitech G15 keyboard. I bought mine from my neighbor a few weeks ago for $30.00

I tried the mx 518 mouse and didn't like it i went back to using my mx 500 mouse optical is discontinue now but i can still find it online for like $35.00 I'm even planning to getting a couple of before they all run out.

I have a shitty Dell keyboard from my first computer and a Microsoft Intellimouse 2.0 I believe (optical) and I seem to manage just fine (10.0 sensitivity spasticness and all.) Go to a store and find stuff that's comfortable (and then go home and buy it online for cheaper), all the bells and whistles won't mean shit if it hurts your hands or just feels weird.

Yea, the G9 looks kinda small from the pics so that's one I'll definitely need to try out.

i was curious about your setup, cloud! when sniping i miss a whole lot more than most other snipers, and i'm always curious if its just sensitivity or my mouse or what.

all in all i love my 5 button ms intellimouse. this is my second one, it was recommended to me by a friend of mine who was supergood at cs:s. and.. keyboard... well i could use a new one as well. a keyboard is pretty much just a keyboard, afaik.

I'm not sure the models, but my setup isn't that fancy, I have a normal 3 button optical mouse and a keyboard with a bunch of buttons that serve no purpose (like a calculator button)

I play with 13.2 sensitivity, but the sensitivities vary from mouse to mouse.
