Getting back into p.c gaming after a bit of time away.

Still using my razer copperhead and Microsoft reclusa keyboard (old school cool)

Looking at maybe refreshing them to something a bit more upto date (though I still love my copperhead)
And it annoys me that my Reclusa rgb is blue and not green.

What kind of setup do you guys have/ recommend?

 

[Solidus_T]

Wooting 60HE and a Logitech G502 Lightspeed.
If you can't wait for the shipment of the Wooting keyboard, a Skyloong GK61 with Gateron yellow switches is also a good option.

 

[amigastar]

Logitech G502 Hero is the best mouse i've ever had, so my recommendation goes to that. Really a superb mouse.
I also have the G502 X which is a successor to the hero. It's also good but not as good as the hero layout wise so save your money.

 

[BossLackey]

Surprised people are still recommending the G502. I had one for years and it's a great mouse, but it's kind of old fashioned at this point. Logitech's newer offerings like the G Pro Superlight are significantly more modern and minimal (and is just a fantastic mouse in general).

Just get a mechanical keyboard in a layout you like (60%, 75%, 100%, etc.) with Chery MX Red switches or equivalent. I'm actually using a really cheap one at the moment by Red Dragon that's...surprisingly good despite the awful name and logo. So there are some cheaper options out there.

 

[near]

I switch between two keyboards, a Ducky Mecha Mini, cherry brown switches, and a Leopold FC750R. A 60% and an 80% keyboard. I'd highly recommend topre keys for the Leopold if you can find it, if I could, I would get the FC660C instead. I use a Logitech G Pro Wireless mouse, it's comfortable. Pick a keyboard to suit your needs, any mouse will do.

 

[tmlDan]

I tried switching to new keyboards but the blackwidow ultimate is my fav keyboard.

It's old, prob from 2013 but these new ones are just not it.

I guess the RAZER BLACKWIDOW V4 PRO is prob the best comparable now but im not sure how that one feels.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Old beige Microsoft ones only for me.

Especially the mice, Intellimouse will last you forever

 

[proandrad]

Screw that gaming branding bs, MX master 3 by Logitech is the best mouse ever made.

I've recently buy a SteelSeries Sensei Ten. Before, I have Steelseries Kana V2... very good mouse but now discontinued.
Sensei Ten, looks like this

He is simple in appearance. So I like it and can disable old RGB stuff.

I'm search a keyboard too... I have this one :

And yes, I can playing gaming with this.

I dunno much Mechanical Keyboard and is pretty expensive + don't like some "RGB GAMER BUY ME" vibe, I prefer something "simple" or sober.
I type much outside gaming and i'm playing sometimes OW2 / HOTS (many games too, but this one is the most I played with many many many hours)

 

[tylrdiablos]

Just a small heads-up... avoid the Logitech software. (Ghub/Gaming Software.)
I was playing a game of Battlefield 2042 against bots last night when the anti-cheat kicked me back to my desktop.
I did some searching and apparently it was down to the Logitech Gaming Software that my G15 keyboard uses. (The anti-cheat flags it because it can record macros.)
The G15 was only being used because my Aukey kept randomly disconnecting.

If you Google "logitech gaming software Easy Anti Cheat" you get all sorts of problems across a variety of games. (Rust, FIFA, Battlefield, etc)

[HeisenbergFX4]

Big fan of the Razer Huntsman V2 IF you can get used to optical switches

 

[Calverz]

I had the Logitech g915 tip but upgraded to the apex pro tkl and it’s a big upgrade imo. I have a matching aerox 3 mouse but wouldn’t recommend the mouse. It’s hard to quickly double tap the scroll wheel while holding down right click.

 

[nemiroff]

Screw that gaming branding bs, MX master 3 by Logitech is the best mouse ever made.

I've heard good things about it. But that form factor is not for everyone (either). If I can't completely palm the whole mouse and feel the table surface I just can't deal with it. ..Which is why I for one use a G Pro instead.

 

[Papa_Wisdom]

Big fan of the Razer Huntsman V2 IF you can get used to optical switches

Just had a quick look at this,
Can you change the rgbs to a single colour (Green)? Also bit of a random one but I don’t suppose it has any usbs on the keyboard, one thing I love about my reclusa is that it has 2 usb in it that I can connect my mouse to which frees one up on my pc.

 

[SmokedMeat]

My setup after a ton of research

Nuphy Air75

Low Profile and lightweight, with Bluetooth support as I wanted to also use it with Steam Deck.

Logitech G502X Lightspeed

I tried going lightweight with two side buttons on a Glorious O2 but I need my programmable buttons. Logitech is still the king in that regard.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Microsoft reclusa keyboard

For work I needed an easy switch between laptop & gaming PC, I dreaded the idea of a KVM switch as they never really support all you need especially when you get into GSync and displayports for 120Hz support, etc etc. I also used to have a couple of mechanical keyboards but I was starting to find it annoying especially to game at night with the CLICK CLACK sounds while children are sleeping.

Picked an MX keys

Low profile keys, feels good, aluminum body. Etc. Will last me for a while.

For mouse I also picked something that has long battery life, can switch between devices (wifi dongle for gaming, bluetooth for work laptop), Razer Orochi V2. Has excellent latency. Its main feature is that it has like 4 times the battery life of the competing products at least back when I bought it, market changes so much that I wouldn't know now.

 

[skit_data]

I've had my Logitech MX510 since 2003 or something so if you want the mouse equivalent of a Nokia 3310 that's a good choice.

Edit: Just look at this:

It's almost 20 years old and still works like a charm. My icemat is also in pretty much prime condition, I bought it a few years later but it too is almost 20 years old

I love my G502X but the G7 button is too long and the G8 button is a little bit too short. Something the G502 Hero did better.

Logitech G502 X Plus with optical-mechanical switches:

If you want a smaller mechanical keyboard with pretty rgb lights, I can recommend: RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK84 Wireless RGB

Thats the one (MX Keys) I use in the office, it's great

You can totally customize the RGB through their software Razer Synapse but it sadly does not have any USBs on it though Razer now has a V3 that may

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Btw for a very decent mechanical keyboard on the cheap my older PC I bought a Redragon K552 on Amazon for like $40 and that thing is still perfect and have been using it off and on for 5 years or so

The RGB is customizable as well but again no USB from what I remember off the top of my head

 

[nikos]

Bit of an older setup but I've been happy with my Logitech G915 + Viper Ultimate that I will probably upgrade to a V2 Pro soon.

[Needlecrash]

I have the Gaming Gear XM2WE mouse. It's pretty good. I stay away from Logitech, Razer and Glorious products now.

 

[Puscifer]

Wooting 60HE + Logitech G Pro X Superlight

 

[LazyParrot]

Just use whatever you think looks good and feels good to use.

Pretty much all gaming mice have decent sensors these days, even the super cheap ones.

For keyboards, feel free to jump on the mechanical keyboard hype train, but just keep in mind that other than the feel (which is very subjective) there really aren't that many advantages. The 523 key rollover and super light-speed switches with 0.0001 mm travel distance and god knows what else they're putting on the box these days are all marketing gimmicks.

 

[Gudji]

Bruh I had that mouse like almost 20 years ago or something. Impressive that it's still working.

Speaking of replacing peripherals my keyboard starting acting fucking weird yesterday. Gotta buy a new one but I don't want to spend a ton of money.

 

[Aces High]

Logitech is best quality and best price in my experience.

 

[newtypepilot]

currently using Filco Majestouch 2 brown switches + g304 KDA edition

No frills keyboard but built like a brick. I don't care for the LED shenanigans.
I wanted to try a wireless mouse after my corsair died. I got g304 for free technically (paid with expiring airline loyalty reward points). Can't imagine ever going back to a wired mouse. Strong battery life (I only have to change it every few months). The g304/305 is comfortable and responsive, although people with large hands might find it a bit small.

 

[Jedge]

I'd recommend the brand: "Ducky" for keyboards. Im using the ducky TKL one 2 Mx brown and I absolutely love it. I've spilled half a water bottle on it before and it's still working fine. The keycaps are super durable and I haven't noticed any wear after many years.

Sensei ten is ideal if you have smaller hands. Love this mouse. I’ve had it for 3 years through thousands of hours of dota, league, valorant, and counterstrike. Just a banger mouse.

My keyboard is a limited edition Logitech with league of legends theme. Really great. Has auto light features for games like CS built into it. Lights tick with bomb plant etc.

I'm using Air75 v2 at the moment and I was also using Halo 96 before.
Very nice quality + for me it was important that it works over cable and wireless (it has 2.4 GHz and BT).
Looks awesome and RGB is pretty cool.

Logitech G915 Keyboard

Same here basically.

- G915 keyboard w Num Pad and linear keys (to keep it a bit quieter)
- G Pro Mouse for gaming
- MX Anywhere 3 mouse for general browsing/PC use for GOAT battery life and feel

Same as my copperhead, I bought it around the to me burning crusade came out, me and this mouse have been through many a raid together, as well as countless hours on unreal tournament, quake 3 and cs.

I don’t want to get rid of it tbh but just seeing what’s available these days.

Many thanks for all the suggestions guys it’s going to keep me busy comparing everything, by all means keep them coming though the Razer Huntsman V2 is winning atm keyboard wise!

I have the mini linear optical Mercury white and it’s my fav keyboard ever.
Except I have sticky keys with synapse open. Common optical razer issue

 

[RoboFu]

I've got the minimal mac version of this and by far the best keybord I have ever owned and I have had all the "popular" keyboards.

I didn't have this model but a similar vertical mouse at work for years and it probably saved my wrist considering the time I spent on it making drawings.

I'm rocking a Steelseries Apex Pro TKL Keyboard and a Razer Viper V2 Pro mouse.
