New keyboard/mouse.

[Frazzer]

Hey guys my Birthday is soon and I thought about getting a Logitech G11 keyboard and a G5 mouse and I wanted to ask if anyone has those and if they are good.

i have the the g11 keyboard (i need no display) - best keyboard ever ....

[Drofder2004]

Razer DeathAdder + Saitek Eclipse 2.

A keyboard is a keyboard. As long as their are no silly spacing issues like some companies use (microsoft used to for example) I can game on it.

aye, that windows button crashed some of my games sometimes.

What I like most about a mouse is that you can change the weight of it (No wireless mouse!). And keyboards I personally like it to have the keys glow in the dark.

I got the G15 keyboard and G9 mouse.

[Drofder2004]

Keyboards do vary actually drofder

The eclipse has backing lights as I recall - which I personally couldn't live without now - so so so handy.

Also some keyboards are restrictive on simulatenous keypresses e.t.c which gaming keyboards generally are not.

Some nice features on the g15 like a switch to disable the windows key e.t.c so you can't accidently hit it.

Ofcourse there is personally preference, but I can game on any keybaord as long as it is comfortable and the keyboard layout is shit. Simultaneous (check your spelling nub ) keypresses shouldn't be that big a problem. How many buttons can do you need at one time? Tell me one situation that often occurs and involves over 3 keypresses?

Leaning while moving forward and strafing then hitting crouch is not a valid example

[Drofder2004]

I had a keyboard that would only handle 3 and quite frequently in normal game play I would find that all the buttons would stop responding and I had to re-press them, it was a certain issue that you do encounter in normal gaming, trust me

How old is this keyboard with only 3 key presses? I have never used a keyboard with less than 4 (and I do realise its not the amount of key presses but the amount of arrays before any techie pipes up)..

I have the Logitech G15 and the MX620 wireless mouse, I love the G15, backlit keys and lcd screen are very useful for me.

The G15 for me as well, but I see no problem with the G11 if you don't want an LCD screen. I have the Logitech MX518 and don't see why you would go for anything higher. Of course, I've never really used a laser mouse for gaming so my opinion on that is pretty ignorant.

[Frazzer]

Thanks for the reply guys. And yes, I don't need an LCD display, since it has no support for CoD. ( ) Going to buy it later this afternoon.

I have both mx518 and the G5.. I have used the mx518 for a while, but it was a serious relief when I went back to the G5.. So much smoother.
Also the top plastic surface of the mx518 felt kinda sticky, while the g5's surface does not.

The G19 looks pretty nifty, except for the price.

As for me I have a Logitech keyboard and a Razer Deathadder.

I don't see the value in a G15 over a normal keyboard, VERY overpriced.

[Frazzer]

Well I got the G11 and G5 and I must say that I really like them. No need for shit LCD display.

Well I use it to display my system temps etc, I use it a lot. Whenever I get a new email it shows up on the keyboard, it sounds stupid, and trust me I thought it was before I got it, but it's proven to be useful.

Same. I also have my fps show on it so it is useful for benchmarking. Also, since the only clock in my room isn't easily illuminated I have the time displayed on the LCD. Oh, and I also have my RAM being displayed which is useful in various circumstances. Overall, I have found it is well worth the money.
