It sounds creamy when you type on it.
these heathens do not know what a creamy keyboard is.

having said that, i do have some thoughts.

1. $90 for a random chinese mouse is a no-no. Get a Zowie Fk1 if you can, or if you speciflcally want a small mouse then a logitech G305 (which is also wireless)
2. that *poop* chinese keyboard is horrendous. Get a decent tenkeyless, even if you need to go chinese. 65 form factor is bad form factor, which i hate the keyboard community for.
3. never heard of the koss headset, but i guess for that money you can't get much.
4. forget benQ, today mousemats are all made from the same stuff, just get https://www.amazon.com/Extended-Computer-Keyboard-Stitched-Waterproof/dp/B0F1D521FR?refresh=1 for eight bucks.

i dont even know that other things what's it supposed to be for, but then again, posting in a Naer thread has its weird effects.

Me thinks the only reason these mice are expensive is because they are the most lightweight of all other mice

If more people get more mice down in weight, there will be more competition and the prices would get better

The selling point of these mice is the lighter weight.

The keyboard being 65 percent is why I am getting it. I like to have extra desk space so my mice don't hit the right side of the keyboards.

My current mouse is 3 grams lighter in weight than the mouse in the Op. The selling point is the lightness.
Why would you want a lighter mouse? Personally, I would value something fairly heavy. But that's only if you're using a pad. With a heavy mouse, it's a lot easier to feel the inertial effect.

My mouse pad is a leather, wrap-around, sectional couch. So no real preference. It can be a pain in my ass regardless. But the skid pads are pretty slippery, so, meh. I really like Logitech shit. You tend get much better support in other apps - if that's an issue. You also get better design/build quality to which you want to pay attention if you're buying online.

I just checked and it's a 9 button version but these days I don't really care since I rarely miss keystroke macros and that sort of thing.

The mouse is wired by the way. That's rarely a problem though since I have the sensitivity set moderately high.

Keyboard is some, I assume, no-name brand. It's wireless and seems to work well. For some reason, it has a shiny steel back and therefore, is magnetically sensitive. I only notice that though because I have all of these neodymium magnets stuck to coffee "table." So I know it's not stainless steel.
When getting my ass kicked in an online game, how often I have thought, "if only my mouse WERE different, surely I'd be winning."
Fixed that for you. Always use the "subjunctive mood" unless you're using was/were in a true past tense.

"Or strengthen your hand/arm"

You're missing the point of a light weight mouse in competitive gaming .

A lighter mouse will always move faster than one even slightly heavier

Does not matter how strong you are.

Have to remind myself that this forum consist of old school boomers.

lol if your reaction time is good, your arm will follow. wired mouse latency is 1ms, wireless, who knows. Also, wired mouse has much higher interference tolerance than wireless.

There is no beating physics.

also, stop mooching off your mom.

I was gaming before Naer was even a thing. I haven't played UT2k4 in years, but I'd still destroy you using my heavy mouse. Equipment doesn't replace skill.

Op you are ignoring the biggest latency, your internet connection. You should travel to LAN tournaments, makes far more difference than kb and mouse.

Oh and if you think 2g makes a diff, eliminating that battery will save you many grams.

esports? That feels like a contradiction in terms but don't ask me for an alternative, so, I guess it works.

IDK about any of that stuff, but I can recommend Ducky if you want some nice keyboards. I also have heard good things about Glorious. I like Logitech as well in general, (I have had several MX series, G5, G500 mice etc) but currently i use the Steelseries wireless/BT combo mouse I won at Quakecon, but I use it in wired mode (it has a detachable USB C cable).

Also, I will say that I have ordered custom Starcraft 2 art mouse mats from Amazon, but I don't think they are made/carried anymore. I have a pretty one with a Terran battlecruiser in space, but it is starting to wear out.

Naer must be pretty highly ranked in esports if he's at the point where a very slightly lighter mouse is going to make a notable difference.

I mean, you'd think so, right?

I don't really think so.

can't be, he would need to travel and he would be employed.
