What keyboard and mouse do you use /v/?
Is memechanical worth it?
Do high end peripherals actually improve the quality of your experience? Does any old cheap shit do for you?

>Keyboard
The Blackwidow 2014. I love mechanical keyboards, the feeling is pretty nice. Got it for sale so it was a no-brainer. I want a bulking spring keyboard, though.
It doesn't improve performance, but I can't go back to regular keyboards because they feel like shit. I would only recommend getting one if you have tried them before and like them.
>Mouse
The Elder God tier Logitech G600. This is one of the best investments I've done in my life, I don't know what I would do without it. It makes my experience several times better. I know it doesn't have the greatest sensor, but I'll take the 20 buttons over the sensor any day -I do actually use the buttons like a madman.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely, but it got more expensive and horribly difficult to find for some reason. I got it for ~80€ several years ago and it now goes for over 90.
All in all, leave the memes aside, only get this kind of stuff if you really feel you are going to use it. I have a friend who had one of these multi-button mice and mechanical keyboards, so I had tried them before, and I wanted them. I would not recommend getting these things without trying them out before.

I got a Rosewill Apollo RK-9100 mechanical and a roccat savu mouse.
They're pretty alright. I've had the mechanical for a year and a half, and the mouse for four / five years.
I like the mechanical cause I like to feel what I type. The mouse has a few macros and I like them for browsing without having to touch my keyboard or vidya gaymin.

I can only imagine you're holding it in the most retarded way imaginable if you can't use a controller for more than 15 minutes. That or you have some major nerve entrapment issues.
Mechanical isn't worth it for gaming unless you're putting in like 8+ hours a day. The performance gans are entirely placebo effect. However, if you're coding or writing or doing something else that's going to require you to type a ton, you need a mechanical. Membrane will fuck up your joints in your fingers, wrists, and potentially arms after a few years.
I have a Ducky DKON1508S. I had five requirements for a keyboard. Blue key switches, simple backlighting, volume controls on the keyboard, no need for installing bullshit drivers and a full numpad. This does all of that and does it well.
Mouse is a Steelseries 300 Rival because I needed high DPI (fucked up wrists from using shitty keyboards for so long) and didn't need a lot of useless buttons. Razer products failed on me after only a few months, and this was the first I found that filled my requirements at a reasonable price.
>here's your controller bro
>>342163754
Mechanical keyboards aren't worth it for gaming. The only thing they offer over membrane keyboards while playing games is more pleasant feeling/sound, but you will completely forget about those things while focused. Unless you play multiplayer games with a competitive mindset, most any not complete garbage mouse/mousepad will service you fine. If you do play competitively then you'll definitely benefit from getting a good mouse/mousepad, although both of those don't necessarily have to cost a lot. You'll want to experiment with different mice/mousepads to find what works for you, you can also look up resources of what good players in multiple games use.

brown switches are shit. do not getting anything with these memekeys in them.
Keyboard: Logitech G11
Mouse: G400
Both work great but the paint on the keyboard is peeling due to excessive use. I've never had a rubber dome keyboard die on me yet but when mine does, I'll try mechanical.
love this thing, keys are a bit gaudy with that custom font but it feels great to use
Deathadder Chroma for mouse, got it during a sale for like $35, pretty good deal and nice mouse
>>342166879
>Not as comfortable and satisfying to type on as blues
>Not as comfortable for gaming as reds or blacks
Why anyone ever goes for browns is beyond me.
My mouse is a Logitech g502 proteus core, my keyboard is a Logitech g910 orion spark. I swear I'm not even a Logitech fanboy, but they're both really nice and I got them on good deals.
>>342166451
I have the DC keyboard but not the mouse.

I just ordered this https://amzn.com/B00DOWCQ0I
It's my first mechanical keyboard, and I just wanted something cheap. Looking forward to it.
My mouse is pic related. I've had it for 4+ years and I've had no problems with it.
I bought a Logitech G710+ a year back when it was half price on local store. The only real difference to my 10€ keyboard is that the lights on the buttons are nice so I don't have to guess where the map and inventory buttons are when playing wasd games in the dark.
>>342164614
I agree compretery about the mouse. It's great, it's great if you game (I play mmorpgs...) but also great if you do work so you can attach macros and shit into those buttons. It feels great in your hand. I recommend cleaning the mouse every day couple of times with washlets / alcoholic wipes so the surface stays dry and crisp. Great purchase.
It feels heavy first and you'll probably need to adjust the sensitivity + customize the buttons of course but after you learn how to use it it's awesome.

>>342164614
I think mechanical is better than membrane in maintenance. I like the tactile feel of it.
My keyboard is the Corsair K95 RGB version.
My mice are Logitech G900, G700, G502, Razer Naga Epic Chroma,

My controllers are Xbox one regular, Xbox one Elite, DS4, Steam controller.

Any difference between it and the first one? It's fairly cheap for a decent seeming gamer orientated combo.I'd be inclined to fall for the LED meme too

The lights are customizable, anyhow, from color to arrangement. They don't have to be on at all. It's fine, though, I can smell how jelly you are through this series of tubes we're communicating through.

I'd say a mechanical keyboard shouldn't really be high on the priorities list, but if you've got some cash to spare they're pretty nice. You can easily get a keyswitch tester for like $5-10 online if you wanna try the feel of different switches as well.
>>342167973
I agree with him, it looks like overdesigned crap.
There are a great many other keyboards that can light up that look a lot better than that.
>Does any old cheap shit do for you?
Yes, as long as it has a good feel. I've been using the same Dell keyboard since 1998 and I buy a new cheap USB mouse every 3 years or so.

Is that the 3440x1440p monitor? I'm rocking the smaller brother; 2560x1080. 21:9 was also one of the best purchases I ever did.
Blue with blue switches.
I love this thing. Its comfy and compact as fuck.

I wish I didn't have huge hands. Sensei is like perfect for me, but it doesn't have enough buttons.
>>342167731
Is actually decent? I was thinking about it. Isn't there a cherry switch version coming out?
>>342168407
Yep. That's the Dell U3415W at 3440x1440. Disregard those who call it a meme, because 21:9 is good productivity wise, is a resolution that's practical to be driven by a single card, and that it's not too wide that it goes beyond your peripheral vision.

>mfw people get Corsairs and Cooler Masters when Ducky keyboards are available for the same price point and of higher quality
>>342168694
>Disregard those who call it a meme,
I never saw it as a meme, I always hated 16:9 and wanted more horizontal real state. Games look much more immersive than in 16:9 and current cards can actually run these resolutions. This is the kind of monitor that I've wanted since 2006.
NKRO is almost a necessity for gaming I think. My opinion has changed.
>>342166803
my membrane keyboard doesn't have as many multiple key presses, plus i like how sturdy my mechanical is, feels like i spent money on something well built.
>>342169305
Well my fingers don't tighten up anymore after a day of typing. So the objective has been achieved for me. I used to type an assload on membrane keyboard and have stiff knuckles and joints for the entire night.

First of all, why the hell do you care about other people? If you are in an office setting, then get the ones with more silent key switches if you have absolutely give a fuck about others.
Second, why is this even a concern given the usage scenario?
>>342169305
Don't most not complete shit membrane keyboards go up to 6 key presses? There's not really any scenario where you'd be pressing more than 6. Only thing that might matter I think is being able to use ps/2 for improved latency, although I'm not sure if a convertor would work for that.

>My mouse is pic related. I've had it for 4+ years and I've had no problems with it.
I have the same mouse, I find it retarded that I can't customize the thumb buttons like with Logitech mice.
>>342169891
the whole idea of a "gaming" device is rather silly.
honestly it's better to just get a mouse and keyboard that you enjoy and will last a long time.
The only thing a good keyboard can do to help you in any meaningfull way is how mnay multiple key presses it has, so long as it has enough for you to never trip up while typing, the rest is either for your own comfort or aesthetic desire and serves no meaningful purpose.
but that would be obvious to anyone with a brain.
>>342170678
There are pros that play on membrane still.
Even professional fgc commuters that play on really shitty peripherals still. It just comes down to what you like, I guess.
>>342170995
yeah exactly, it's all up to your own personal prefrence, this is why if someone asks me what kind of mechanical keyboard they should get i'd tell them to learn about switch types first because the whole point of mechanical keyabords is what you like and want out of your keyboard, it's like reccomending someone shoes based on what you find comfortable, can't do it, has to fit them.
>>342171489

Same, this keyboard it's pretty good.
Ducky Shine 9008S with black switches, white backlight and Zowie FK-1. I keep the backlight on the Shine off since it's annoying when I'm not looking at it directly (I think it's related to the pwm LEDs.)

mechanical keyboards are just nice to use
a mouse with at least a decent sensor is required for fps games, and one with adjustable cpi is required for games involving lots of scrolling at high resolutions

>>342174708
>>342174794
Aren't you supposed to hold both shifts or something while typing that?
>>342174908
THE QUICK BROWN DOG JUMPED OVER THE LAZY FOX
yeah okay, what does this signify?
>>342168578
It's extremely comfortable and typing on it feels awesome.
Mechanical keyboards are only good for vidya if you're some crazy RTS or fightan player.
That said, they're fucking orgasmic to type on and greatly improve your words per minute and accuracy.
>>342169220
Can't tell if your a female or a male, cause niggers never clip their fucking finger nails.
For fucks sake, that is gross!
>>342167567
Yo how is the elite controller? I was thinking of picking one up I heard it feels amazing, is it worth it
>>342175001
you need a keyboard with good rollover to do that
most keyboards won't let you press more than 2-4 keys at once depending on how the circuits are arranged
>>342166451
There's something appealing about this.
>>342175263
Not having any fingernails is just as confusing and nasty.

It feels better than any other Xbox controllers. It's a lot of money to pay. Some people have reported qc issues that I never experienced. You may want to get the $60 Xbox one S controller instead if you don't want those paddles.

mechanical is worth it because it ensures your fingers will never ache no matter how long you use it.
There's also the longevity factor. The only thing that'll 'deteriorate' is the keys getting loose over time and popping out occasionally.

Today might be your lucky day
I've used a G15 since 2005, went through 3 of them. Recently my last one bought the farm. I was lucky to even find it, even though it was used. I got a good deal for it too because the person selling it couldn't figure out how to get the display to work. The thing finally started freaking out like all the others, mismatching keys, spamming certain keys. I just couldn't deal with it randomly cutting out on me anymore so I finally got a Corsair K30 and I nigger rigged the palm rest from the G15 onto it.
I looked for another one with a display, but they just don't make them like they used to.
