Can anyone recommend a decent wireless gaming mouse and keyboard?

[ManBearPig]

I can't find any suggestions and its starting to get annoying. I put a topic in the forum I thought was correct but I'm not getting responses so I'll ask here. ANYONE know of a decent wireless gamging mouse and keyboard? I don't really like a lot of buttons on the mouse. Thanks y'all.

Most gamers are consolites. I prefer wired KB/M tho so I have no useful info. Did you post in PC gaming?

 

[busydude]

On the top pf my head.. I can think of Razer Mamba, Logitech G700 and Cyborg RAT 9.

I don't care about KB much.. so cannot help there.

Any particular reason to why you want wireless so I can try to talk to out of it?

Man I figured most gamers here were pc gamers. I guess I could do wired keyboard if it makes no difference. So maybe just good wireless mouse.

You can talk me out of it. I like wireless mice because it just seems cleaner and I always hated fiddling with the cord and hearing it move around. No reason for wireless keyboard.

Not much point in a wireless keyboard (unless you're it's a gaming HTPC or some such).
I never got all this hullabaloo about "ZOMG t3h lagz!" for wireless mice, and I've been using them for awhile now (even competitively) :
Logitech MX Revolution, Performance MX, G700, G7 and Razer Mamba.

Thanks! I guess ill check out the cheapest one of those lol. Anything lower priced you know of thats decent?

i don't like wireless keyboards and mice for games because of crappy reception, battery life and sleep modes. even my game pad has lousy reception at 10 feet.

i also don't recommend buying razer products - the quality has crashed and burned while the hype and the price go up. apologies to anyone i previously recommended razer garbage.

I don't really care about keyboards, but it has to be an Mx 518 mouse (Logitech)....which they no longer make

They don't make Mx518's anymore? Shit, I love mine.

Also, wireless and gaming anything do not go together

I use the Logitech G700 mouse and Logitech K320 keyboard. Excellent for gaming on the plasma from the home theater seats.

Have not played fps games online with them. I can notice the lag with the keyboard, but the G700 feels perfectly responsive though.

You guys are telling me I couldnt play Skyrim with a wireless mouse?

I have a logitech wireless performance mx mouse and the thing is awesome. Never tried a wireless keyboard though. Wireless headphones are my favorite though.

I was hoping you would say that.

Mouse bungee. I bought mine 5+ years ago and Im still using it today. It basically makes your wired mouse feel like a wireless one. Never have to mess with the tangle or drag. Apparently Razer bought out the company that originally made them or something but trust me its a well worth purchase.

Edit: Yup, the inventor of the original was hired by Razer to join their development team in 2010.

Here's a nice .gif demonstrating it.

As other have mentioned, don't go with a wireless keyboard.

For a wireless gaming mouse, the Logitech G700 and the Razor Mamba are your best bets.

 

[ManBearPig]

the only real mouse i've had in the last decade is the logitech mx510...which of these recommended are the most similar to that?

 

[herrjimbo]

i second the recommendation for logitech performance mx wireless mouse.

i use a logitech k360 wireless keyboard which pairs up nicely with the unifying receiver that came with the mouse.

no lag on either and i game a lot.

Hey, the .gif is even an MX518

Apparently the G400 replaced it. I have heard of people sending their busted MX518's into Logitech for repair/replacement and Logitech sending them a free G400 instead.

I went from an MX510 to MX518 to a Steelseries Xai.

That I got the 518 for free as a warranty replacement for the 510. They were awesome mice.

 

[ManBearPig]

damn, these wireless mice are so fucking expensive and all seem to have issues.

what WIRED mouse and keyboard would you suggest?

I usually only need a replacement when mine hits a wall at a high rate of speed. I don't think I have ever worn out a mouse before crushing it out of frustration.

Amazon just recently had the G700 on sale for $50.

What problems with wireless gaming mice?

There's some pretty bad reviews that have a lot in common.

Aside from that...the g700 is $90, isn't sold by amazon and has a ton of buttons (hate the buttons!).
