Hello
Buying a new set of accessories in EuropeEU:
65 €euro Logitech G502 = Weight added laser mouse. Need and love a heavy weight and very large size mouse because of big hand.
75 €euro Logitech G413 = Mechanical keyboard. Silent keys red "Romus switch". Mechanical keyboard for under <100 €euros.

Opinions for gaming and such with budget on mind ?

Both good choices though I personally didn't much like the Romer switches and the whole K/B felt... I don't know. Wasn't for me. Its personal I think. I went for an (also cheap mechanical) Sharkoon MK80 with brown (Kailh) switches.

The G502 though, I have used it for a while now and it is among the best mice I've owned. Easily worth its money.

Oh. I noticed G502 is only "optical mouse" and not laser...:(
This review says: "If you have very specific needs — such as tournament-level FPS play or endgame MMO content — the Proteus Core may prove passable."

I really thought all mouses have laser nowadays. I have had all laser mouses since 2005 :twitch: and optical is always the worse choice. I have: 2012 MX Performance, G5, G500, MX3100,...

You don't have to buy such expensive "rodent" and keyboard. Mechanical keyboard isn't really that much superior to a good membrane keyboard. In gaming, you'll hardly notice a difference between those two. Cheap keyboards (under 20€) are a different story.

Considering keyboard, I would recommend Sharkoon Skiller Pro +, Sharkoon Shark Zone K30, Natec Genesis RX22... They are all under 50€ and they are excellent.

There are also excellent mice under 50€, notably Ravcore Typhoon Avago 3050, Ravcore Cyclone Avago 9800, Cougar Gaming 500M / 530M, A4 Tech T70...

Ive used the G502 for 4 years now. I was having a glitch with some input device. (figured that out) but was using a Cheap Roswell Neon M55 ($22) for troubleshooting. It made me realize the G502 is too small for my hand. And I have small hands. I did some gaming and my hand was much more relaxed and it was just as accurate with the M55. (the scroll wheel sucks) but a really good mouse for the $. I'm going back to the G502 but this really messed with me. I guess I need to look for a bigger mouse.

All mice are technically optical except for the ball mouse. The G503 has the PMW3366 and is one of the best sensors out there. Dont be concerned about laser or optical. Its how it works for you
