I need help picking out a new mouse, keyboard, and mousepad

[damage424]

So, I need a new mouse, keyboard, and mousepad. I haven't been in the market for any of these in the past 10 years, so looking at the products out there - it's making my head spin.

A little background info...

10 years ago I was semi-pro in CS 1.6. I used the MX510 and 518 back then. I absolutely LOVED my Mx510, 518 was good but just not as good. I also used a cloth mat from steel series, and used Siberia headphones (steel series ) that I also loved very much.

Right now, I can't afford the PC I want. I play only on my PS4 right now and I recently started playing Overwatch and been having a blast. I want to get the Xim4 and use a mouse and keyboard on my PS4. I assume all components need to be wired.

I don't care for fancy lights, or fancy this or fancy that. I just want equipment that is going to let my skills shine. I know you guys know your stuff, can anyone help out an old time FPS gamer? I need mouse, mousepad, and keyboard suggestions.

1. Zo ...maybe i should give you my credentials first.
QuakeLive player since 2008. Plays exclusively shooters, DM win rate 90+, TDM win rate 78%, accuracy 32%.
I play QL, Reflex, where im decent, and BLR, where i regularly mop the floor.

1. Zowie FK1+ without a doubt.
There are alternatives; Logitech has some great mice (wireless included, believe it or not) in their lineup, and the Deathadder is still a great choice.
If you want a mouse with the shell shape of the WMO and perfect, driverless tracking, the FK1+ is your mouse.

2. If you dont have money, stick with a standard rubber done keyboard; of all the peripherials, the kb is the one that gives the least advantage.
Otherwise i would recommend a tenkeyless with cherry mx clear switches. No specific preference on brand, but i would look for models that come with PBT keycaps.
THIS ONE: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2751 tkl, doubleshot pbt, mx clear, from a reputable brand. $89 shipped is very reasonable.

3. Without a doubt Silent Monsters XXL - ive tried the Qck+, both goliathus, sphenx, Overclockers XXL, various hard pads, and this cheap mat from amazon beats them all. No contest. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Silent-Monsters-Gaming-Office-Mouse/dp/B01FFFSORA
