I have a Mx1000 Laser mouse from Logitech that's got zero lag time on it that I've used for heavy gaming before. If the battery didn't piss out in an hour of heavy use I'd still be using it, lol.

The other mouse is a basic as shit Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer I've had forever.

I have one of these, and it has served me admirably for FPSs (and really anything else in general because you can reprogram that scroll and side click buttons easily). I have a somewhat large hand and it fits almost perfectly.

Not really sure about keyboards, but unless you want some specific gadget on it, they are generally pretty similar.

 

Should I be embarrassed that I have that "mother fucking" mouse? >_>.

Craigslist prices ftw .

Anyway, save your money, you won't get anything ground breaking for 50 or less. When you get the cash pick these up-

G5-If I could take a mouse as a lover, it'd be the G5. Damn thing is just great for gaming.

Tarantula-An excellent gaming keyboard, the thing is sturdy, is blazing fast in response times, allows pressing of as many buttons you want at the same time. In a word, perfect.

Save the cash and buy something worth the money, instead of buying a cheap knock off that will die within a few months.

 

Don't feel bad, I own it to.

Can you get the G5 in the original colour? It looks so bad now... Better with the orange lights and black. and that think will last you I've had mine for 3 years now and I love that beast. Got all the weights in it and it still floats like a dream.

 

Razer mice are the most shoddily built pieces of equipment... I broke mine on LAN by squeezing it two hard. Literally cracked it down the middle.

Also, compared to Logitech's ergonomics and polling, Razer are definitely second grade.

MX518 has perfect form factor for a whole variety of grips, almost no response delay and is dirt cheap.

 

@JohnThePyro;
I may take your advice and buy the G5 mouse and the G15 keyboard.

I'll tell the parents I won it on a online competition or some shit.

Now, my Evil Monkeys, a new quest I have for ye. I currently have an ATI Radeon 2100. I don't know if that is a video card or graphics card, and I don't know the difference between the two. Wanna play New-gen FPS but once again I'm not a rich bitch like some of you £500 christmas present mofos. (Grumble stupid muslim parents)

Help please...

 

Have a look at the Support Forum, there are a few recent threads about buying a new computer, you'll find some advice on graphics cards there.

For something more specific, you should mention your price range. Although you should keep in mind that a spanking new card won't help much if you have 12 megs of ram and a hamster in a wheel as power supply.

 

@Zombie-There are no gays on the interwebz. don't try to trick me!

@ahsun92-Depends on how much you're looking to spend, and what you want to play.

Crysis is considered new-gen, but to get the most out of the experience you need to spend an arm and a leg out to play it.

CoD4/CoD5 is new-gen too, however they're much easier on your wallet. You could get away with a $30 dollar card and be fine.

What are you looking for?

 

More along the lines of Cod 5 and i have 1GB DDR2 memory and 320GB HDD.
CPU4400+. Don't have a clue what I just said. £50ish range of monies.

Running off to Support Forum!

 

You probably won't be able to run cod5, or you will probably have the lowest settings possible, and the lowest resolution possible (makes the game look horrible and unplayable in my opinion.)

 

I have been using this one for the past year or so. Picked it up at the Wally World for about $10. Haven't had any complaints about it yet. Way better then that pricey fucking wireless mouse I had for two years...

Can you recommend any good Head...

...phones?

>.>

For serious, I am in need of a set of gaming headphones and I thought it would be a good idea to ask the rabble.

At about £30-40 price range, it would be primarily used in FPS games.

...?

[Edit] I thought that I may as well ask this new question in this old thread, rather than creating a new one.

 

I could link a whole pile of headphones but really you are better off heading over to Ebay, do a refined search and look through the list yourself. With a price range of 40 pounds you might as well get more expensive brands like Sony or Sennheiser.

 

Gaming headphones? Honestly, I've played a whole bunch of FPS in my day, and I've never seen the need to punch out the cash for an expensive pair of "gaming" headphones. A typical headset does just fine.

I have a pair of those sitting maybe a foot away from me right now. Been using them for about 6 months with no issues. With the added bonus of a mic so you can use teamspeak while playing. If you're playing FPS, chances are you're going to be using TS to implement strats and play with your team competently. At least that's how I play, otherwise things go tits up and any strategy falls apart, learned this lesson when my clan tried to join a competition ladder when our TS went down. Wasn't pretty =D.

 

Best Buy will first open stores in the UK beginning 2009.

 

Im looking on Ebay, and I have found that ^, for about £15.

Deal or no Deal?
