You can spend 10 dollars for any good non-mechanical keyboard. If you want a good mechanical one, 50+ is pretty ideal.

For a mouse a lot of people use the DA, G400, or some Zowie mouse.

I've been lusting after a new Razer Deathadder for a while. I'd recommend that mouse. As for a keyboard, I dunno. I don't use mine for gaming.

The DA and g400 are probably the best mice you can get, but they have tend to have bad build quality and stop working after a few months. if you want to take your bet with one of them, I would go with a g400. The Zowie mice seem to be the best if you're willing to pay ~$60 for one.

In terms of keyboards, it depends on what kind of switch you want. It may seem trivial, but take some time to look at the various types and find the one you prefer.

For mouses, anything mentioned above is really good.
As for a keyboard, This is a really good mechanical keyboard for the price, considering most mechanical keyboards are at least $80 plus http://www.amazon.com/Azio-Levetron-Mechanical-Keyboard-KB528U/dp/B008CXTW42/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1379989240&sr=8-3&keywords=azio+levetron .

I've used the 2013 DeathAdder since it came out.

Get it - it's awesome.

I wouldn't get this board. Looking at the product description and everything else there, I can't tell what kind of switch it uses, which is a pretty big deal. Even shitty 35 dollar mechs have the switch kind listed.

For mice, are you palm or claw grip?

If claw, get the zowie fk or am

If palm, either DA(no 2013 version, synapse is shit) g400s(I'm pretty sure they fixed the problems, but as long as you still have the original receipt, they will replace broken mice). Other than that, get the zowie ec1 evo.

For the keyboard, either go all in or a cheap one. If you can't afford a 60ish dollar Cooler Master Quick Fire Rapid or any of the other CM storm mechanical keyboards which go on sale frequently, just buy a $10 logitech rubber membrane keyboard, and use that until you save enough for a mechanical.

If you do go down the path of a mechanical, first buy a switch sampler to pick your switch of choice. Buy the WASD sampler, and figure out which one you like the best.

But generally speaking, reds are best for gaming(get blacks if you have strong fingers) blues are best for typing (get greens if you have strong fingers) and browns for in between (clears for stronger fingers)

If you want the keyboard now, for reds:

$40 after 20 MIR

and browns

$60 after 15 MIR

Alright, DA it is for mouse (at least it looks and sounds fine). Still up for recommendations in case I change my mind.

What is this stuff about a switch sampler for a keyboard? Never heard of it before.

Mechanical keyboards have a shit ton of different switches, each with a different feel and activation force.
The switch sampler is used to pick your favorite one

Also get the DA black, it doesn't use synapse, and synapse is one of the worst drivers ever

G400 + Coolermaster keyboard of your choice.

Won't break the bank and it will be very nice.

For a mouse, my CM Storm Spawn hasn't failed me, and was <$40
Claw grip, although palm works well for browsing. Three dpi switches. I believe it was recommended by Boink or Technosex on Reddit, I was surprised to see his name pop up

G400 is about $40, and a CM board will be around $60.

Definitely cheaper than my latest purchase, the WASD CODE, for 175 shipped and taxed

i'd get a real nice CMstorm keyboard and an IME 1.1a

DeathAdder + any keyboard thats not wireless.

Check out my threads on mice and keyboards!

G500 and any keyboard.

You can easily find an old mechanical keyboard such as an IBM, Wyse or something like that in any flea for like 5bucks.

G500 has a lazer sensor with built in accel
