Shift from traditional controllers to M&K devices
Shift from traditional controllers to M&K devices
You're looking for a keyboard and mouse setup that fits your needs without breaking the bank. Since you're new to gaming peripherals, focus on comfort and reliability. Consider budget-friendly options from trusted brands like Logitech or Razer, especially those with good ergonomic designs. For a mouse, look for a compact, lightweight model with smooth tracking—avoid overly complex features unless necessary. Aim for something in the $80–$150 range to balance performance and cost. Don't worry too much about specific specs right now; prioritize ease of use and fit.
The Logitech G series above $40 looks solid. They avoid poor performance and offer strong warranties and support. If you prefer the Corsair style, the RGB K70 is roughly $130, while the M65 sits near $50. DPI or CPI matters because it affects movement precision—higher values are better for 1440p+, but 2500 works for 1080p. For MMOs, higher macro counts help; around 4-6 macros should suffice if you mainly play FPS.
I don't focus on technical details for mice and keyboards. I prioritize what feels most comfortable for me. These items are inherently personal because comfort comes down to individual taste. It's better to visit a hardware store and test various options rather than settling for cutting-edge models that might not suit your needs.
I was excited about my first gaming mouse combo, which consisted of the Corsair K90 and M90. Both are great for my use case. Now I’m looking for recommendations. Here are some links to solid options. For MMO-style games, the Razer Naga is a solid pick – it has macro keys, feels light, and has a plastic look. My partner enjoys it too, especially using the macro shortcuts in her art programs. For shooters, the Corsair M65 offers great performance but doesn’t have as many extra buttons. It’s made of aluminum with adjustable weight. The Quickfire TM by GamingMaster is another favorite; I tried it at a local store and loved it. Pair it with green switches for a smooth feel. These are just a few of my top picks, but I’m happy to help you find something better if needed.
I’m not quite sure about my requirements beyond a matching set. I prefer aluminum with a solid feel. I’ve added the m6 to my list. Because I’ll be purchasing parts in mid-August, the Corsair mouse paired with the K95 RGB could fit. I’m pretty certain I don’t want a claw grip—it feels awkward.
