Hopefully I will be getting a new Mouse keyboard soon, I'm thinking of getting a Razer Arctosa keyboard http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-keyboards/razer-arctosa/

And a Razer Copperhead http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-copperhead/

The keyboard is $55 at MSY. The mouse is $69

Any thoughts on this? Wink

But still... $70 for a mouse?!

I payed $14.00 for my mouse and its very responsive. It is a laser mouse. I agree, with the others to save your money but if you gotta have it, you gotta have it. When you put it into perspective, whats $70 when we have spent thousands to play a game..... or the more PC way to say it.... a simulator.

Very similar to my Lycosa keyboard and Death Adder mouse. Both are awesome and I've never had a problem with either after 16 months of use.

Have never used that brand of keyboard or mouse but I checked your links and it is a nice looking setup.

I currently have a Logitech G19 keyboard and a G9 mouse that I an quite fond of.

Make your choice and go for it.
