Ideazon Zfang game board pad. As for mouse..hmm well the board pad should be less than thirty-five dollars some places, leaving you the rest to try and grab an older Razer mouse or whichever, but you can find many mice threads here on TPU. Your key focus should be the use of that gameboard pad. Buying a 'performance' keyboard is a laugh; no such thing exists.

for £15 ($30) in the uk, i bought the following m&k, trust me the mouse is real comfy just like an intellimouse (used them for 4 years at uni) it just lacks 2 extra buttons, perfect for gaming for me. the keyboard is nice and quite and mine doesnt even need the setpoint crap for extra functionaility. its the true sense of cheap and chheerful

A quiet keyboard? You mean when typing?
Who cares what it sounds like when they type..in a game? How often are you typing while playing? Keyboards are for typing, not acting as a peripheral for gaming. However I am aware he did mention "/everday." Having said that, he wants an all-in-one solution. And quite frankly that's not going to happen. The only option for a 'gaming' 'keyboard' is a board pad; hence you still need a regular keyboard to type. I imagine he already has one. Keep that, get the pad, and a half decent mouse; you're set.

Saitek Eclipse Keyboard. Cheap and decent.
And an A4Tech X7 mouse (also sold as the OCZ Equalizer). Half the price of a G5, but every bit as good. Just missing the adjustable weighting system of the G5.

you may want to spend the majority of the $100 on a gaming mouse because the only gaming keyboard you will be able to get under $50 is the Saitek Eclipse II and you don't strike me as the "Funky" keyboard type.
Take a look at this. Razer Diamondback (Optical) - Christine |

I'll put a word in for my old trusty Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboard. Ater using it for the better part of 2 years I can say its size and positioning of the keys, makes me loath the "normal keyboards".
Not much on the mouse side as my Logitech MX1000 just wont die. Just my 2 pennies!

keep a PS2 keyboard on hand for flashes and new builds as some mobo's wont recognize USB without the drivers. I dont see either as better really...they both do the same job!

i do not have a problem gaming with a Microsoft Natural Keyboard, it contours really nicely i think... whatever you get i do not recommend Wireless.. it has the tendancy to lag in games... not a whole lot... but if you are a person who can feel little things like that, you will notice the difference..

Optical Sensors are for Low Sensitivity gamers like the ones that move Slow and Smooth when you spectate them, Laser Sensors are for High Sensitivity gamers and are two even three times more precise. you won't need more than 2000 dpi.

Personally I like Logitech G3 or G5 and gaming keyboards are about useless unless you really use them in which case what do you want out of it?

G15 is crap I don't care what anybody says it has the same build quality and tactile response time as any other Logitech keyboard, the entire build cost is the LCD and not every game is supported oh and you have to keep the drivers running in background.
