Mousepad + mouse (maybe keyboard)
I am looking for a new mousepad and mouse. I have a Naga and don't like it all that much. The bottons on the side are too small and the damn drivers keep needing to be reinstalled, it only happens with this one input device.
I might want a new keyboard too, but that is optional.
Price up to $150. I think that should get the mouse and the mousepad easily, not sure if I can fit the keyboard into that too.
Please post suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
“It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”

been using my logitech g600 for 4 years now, hasn't let me down.
as for keyboard, anything with WASD works just fine, since the g600 has so many customizable buttons.
Im a big guy, so i guess if your hands are small the g600 might not be optimal, but i've been very satisfied with it. To each their own.
Just my 2c.
The Deep Web is sca-ry.
I use a Steelseries Icemat. Its a frosted glass surface thats easy to clean and really smooth. It sometimes has issues with certain mice detecting the surface. It did work fine with my Logitech G5.
For mice, I like the Corsair M95 for your particular needs. The buttons are a bit meatier and easier to distinguish, but some people report its uncomfortable.
For Keyboards, I like the Corsair Vengeance Keyboards. They are mechanical and don't have a surrounding bezel so they are really easy to clean. The material is also a metal instead of a plastic making them feel not so cheap.

Mine is going on 4 years no - no sign of any wear at all. Excellent no-frills but high performance mouse pad, couldn't recommend it enough.
For the mouse/keyboard, that's up to your personal preference more than anything. I will say I'm in the camp that has had a lot of Razer products die earlier than most, but a lot of people will swear by them. I'm using a Logitch G500 mouse and G710 keyboard now, I've very pleased with the keyboard, the mouse is ok (the G5 was my favorite of all time, this one is good, but not quite as good as that one was). I'm thinking hard about jumping to a G600, but typically I'm a 3-button gamer and haven't really used any buttons past that (like the 5 or 6 other buttons that already exist on the G500).
If you want a mouse you should first determine what grip you have.
Many people who think they are palm grippers are fingertip grippers, and they buy palm grip mice, and then say they're oversized. That fingertip mouse is kind of small on the pic, but make sure you don't buy a palm grip mouse if you hold your mouse by your fingertips, fingergrip mouse are slightly smaller than palm grip.
there are tons of massive MMO mouse, but they are only suited for palm grippers, fingertip and claw grippers, and people with smaller hands, need smaller mice
another issue is that many fingertip and claw grippers LIFT their mouse, you might not realise you're doing this until you keep an eye on yourself and catch yourself doing it, only palmgrippers never lift their mouse, another reason many palmgrip mice are unsuited for fingertip grippers, they're too heavy
For example, the G600 MMO mouse from logitech is a palm grip mouse, it's too large to finger or claw grip.
So I went looking for a brand that supported my fingertip grip and found Roccat.
Anyway, this mouse is nice for fingertip grippers like me. It allows macros, use shift key to get extra functionality, scrollwheel + shift changes should, etc. They also have palm grip mice
roccat kone, fingergrip mouse.
they released a new mouse that is between palmgrippers and fingergrippers a few weeks ago, suited for both, slightly larger than the roccat kone afaik, it got very good reviews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3baifyG58OM
roccat tyon, although I haven't tried that one
