As the title asks, what keyboard and mouse do you use? Company? Model? PS/2, USB, Bluetooth? Probably one of, if not the least, talked about things on the forum haha. I personally prefer Logitech for keyboards and mice. I'm actually looking to upgrade my Logitech MX-510 though it has served me well. Considering the MX atm.

Logitech G15 keyboard and Logitech G5 mouse. And I'll likely get another set of both for when my current ones die.

Saitek Eclipse II and Logitech G5. I wish my Eclipse had some more multimedia/shortcut buttons, but I love the keyboard. I love my G5 too; the lack of two side buttons doesn't really bother me anymore.

I bought the Logitech S510 cordless KB/mouse set and can not recommend it highly because all the signals (caps on, scroll key on, etc) come up on the monitor instead of a light or similar on the board itself. So it's hard to know when you have caps on, etc. BUT, having said that, I do love the cordless feature - whatever you buy, don't buy a corded set UNLESS you're a gamer. I understand cordless loses you some response time and for that reason alone a corded set would be better.

I'm not sure this post will help you, but thought I'd put in my 2 cents worth if it could help. I'll be watching to see if there's a better set for me to buy :)

Depends on what your intentions are as well as budget. The MX518 would seem like a logical upgrade for the mouse based on some of the only useful information you've provided by stating that you have an MX510, but is gaming really a priority?

Gaming is definitely a priority for me, but I actually started the thread to see what people were using rather than to get advice for what keyboard/mouse I should get. I might not even upgrade my mouse but since my keyboard is a laptop keyboard and I'm working on a rig, the keyboard I'll have to upgrade. :)

Dell RT7D50, the small frame and minimalist design are nice. I hate all those keyboards with the shortcut buttons, application launching buttons and multimedia buttons. I use a Logitech MX Revolution though. I liked the MX1000 better, but can't find those new anymore.

i was about to pull the trigger on the Lycosa + Lachesis setup.... I'm a pretty heavy gamer and just love the look with the blue lights on the keyboard.....

Other keyboard I was considering was G15, but it's huge and not pretty.... also the Saitek II.... thoughts???

Thanks
