hey guys
was lookin thru http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=100671
and i looked at all the recommended brands i saw in the 3 pages of the thread, and narrowed what i wanted in a keyboard down to the logitech g15 and the steel series merc stealth

i like the logitech g15 because the keys light up and because of the lcd screen it has
i like the steel series merc stealth because of the integrated gaming pad - i would hands down get the merc stealth if i could figure out if the key were backlit as well as the keyboard
logitech g15 http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3498&cl=us,en
steel series merc stealth http://www.steelseries.com/us/products/keyboards/merc_stealth/information

as far as mouses go im looking at the razer deathadder(gotta love that mouse configurater) or the steel series ikari optical or the logitech g500
really i think that for the most part the mouses are pterry much the same, and which one i got would kind of depend on the keyboard, so i could have a matching keyboard/mouse
