Looking for a good gaming mouse and keyboard

Brachus

I'm looking for suggestions on a good gaming mouse and keyboard, mostly for MMO's. I am currently using a Razer Lycosa and a Razer Lachesis. I like the backlighting on the Lycosa, but in general, I prefer a sturdier keyboard and maybe a bit more functionality. The Lachesis mouse is nice and works well, but it has an unusual shape to it that starts to bother my hand and wrist if I play for any extended amount of time. 

As I said, I mostly play MMO's, currently play SWTOR, but I also usually have a backup MMO for when I just want something different. Just looking for something with good quality and functionality.

I have a G500 Logitech and a Logitech Wave keyboard, they are really nice.

But since everyone will say this,  I wil say that I LOVE mionix also, it's less known, but they make killer mice.

The Mionix mice look pretty good, but not so sure about the keyboard. The G500 looks decent as well.

What about the Corsair K60 keyboard? Any opinions on that model?

How about the Razer SWTOR mouse? Seems like a Naga, which I didn't much care for, but it looks like a slightly altered form, which may be more comfortable for me.

Any other suggestions from anyone?

If you have problems with the wrist you should get a trackball instead of a mouse. It will help a lot since you just move your thumb instead of the hand, and it is a lot faster as well (try to move your wrist and then compare to how you can move your thumb).

It takes a few hours to get use to but trust me, afterthat you don't want to go back.

As for Keyboard, I like the Logitech G14 a lot.

Reliable and comfortable.

I use a Microsoft Sidewinder X6 keyboard and I really have no complaints with it whatsoever. The fact that I can put the number pad on the left or right has even gotten me out of using my Nostromo on less complex games. As for a mouse, I too didn't care for the Naga because the thumb buttons were just too small to be useful for me. I currently use a Cyborg R.A.T 3 gaming mouse which I also have no problems with and it was fairly cheap as well (they have better models out there if you're into paying more).

I have a Razer DeathAdder and a Logitech G15v2. Both are good peripherals, not perfect. The G15v2 has some software issues and it's not the best keyboard for typing even compared to a regular Dell keyboard. The Razer DeathAdder is also a good mouse that is very well-rounded in terms of features, performance, and comfort. It's not the best for my type of grip (claw grip), but it works fine.

In a couple of weeks I'll be making a major upgrade as I will be purchasing a Das Silent Professional keyboard (mechanical switches) paired with a leatherette wrist rest and a Steelseries Sensei paired with a 9HD mouse pad. I have been reading very good reviews regarding these items.

If you are looking for a very MMO-oriented mouse, get the Naga/Star Wars/Naga epic/etc. mouse as there really is nothing that can match its performance in MMO gaming. However, if you play some FPS's like I do, I would a recommend a more standard mouse (by that, I mean doesn't have twelve buttons on its side).

I have a Razer Mamba (which is more or less a DeathAdder, but potentially wireless). I also have a Razer Naga, which works exactly the way they advertise it to work for mmorpg. You can use your mouse thumb to take care of most of your combat rotations. The standard Naga is a little small though - it would be nice if it was as big as the Mamba or the DeathAdder. I think the newer ones (the SWToR one and the 'Elite') are both larger than the original Naga, which is good.

My keyboard is a Saitek Cyborg II - pretty old but still does exactly what it said it would do - not break. I'd like a smaller game pad kind of thing, but so far, none of them are as cool to use as they look in pictures.

The Corsair Vengeance M90 mouse looks really cool, but I haven't had a chance to try one out, or talk to anyone who's used one so I don't know if it's as cool as it looks.
