Hey guys.

I wanna change my equipment to improve mechanics (never did it before, always used decent stuff)

And i am wondering what kind of keyboard and mouse are you using?

Also i would be grateful if you know what kind of equipment using Flash, Last, Jaedong.

Thank you

Hi, I'm sure you know this ... but it just comes down to personal comfort. A 10$ mouse could be better for one person than using some 60$ Gaming mouse for another. Here in the USA, there's computer hardware stores where they have Mice and Keyboards on display. I went to a store like that (called Best Buy) and just put my hand on the mouse to see how it feels, etc. Essentially, I tested the comfort before buying.

With that being said, I'm using Razer DeathAdder Chroma for my Mouse (if you've got slightly bigger hands, I think you may like it, thought it's on the heavier side).

For the keyboard, I'm using Razer BlackWidow Stealth (this is just a good mechanical keyboard, and slightly more quiet than some other mechanical keyboards out there).

Also, view this link to help you find sizing and weight information: i.imgur.com

I've also noticed The Logitech G series is very popular amongst gamers, so you may also want to check this line out.

For the keyboard - check out the forum - there is a thread with plenty of information and more than everything you'll need to get to know what to buy.
for the mouse - better try them all - so many tastes... Depends very much on how big your hands are but in almost any case a light weight mouse is better for apm intense games such as SC.

PS. + Show Spoiler +

Razer is overpriced garbage

edit: and what I'm using
- mouse - Logitech G Pro (light and not big mouse which a liked). i've used steelseries kinzu, zowie mico, several razer devices - i like the logitech g pro mouse most of them all.
- keyboard - some generic high-end dell keyboard which i'd like to switch with mechanical keyboard with red/brown switches. If there is a brand that I'd like to have, it is Das or Filco

yea, it is a matter of taste. I just don't want to research those technical things. First of all i want to narrow amount of mouses and keyboards by finding out what mouses pro's and tl net users are using. Then I want to try them out by myself and if i won't like them - start research xD

Here is a nice short video that explains what is the difference between mechanical key switches. It can save you time at least to understand what you aim for and narrow down the mechanical keyboards that you'd like to have

$130 - Corsair Gaming Mechanical Keyboard K70 LUX RGB - Cherry MX Red
$30 - Logitech G203 Prodigy Gaming Mouse
$30 - Zowie BenQ Camade Mouse Cable Management Device

I have no complaints with this equipment, great stuff.
I tried 5 mouses before I finally found the right one: the G203.
I have big hands (9x19,5cm) so I tried the G403 first, good mouse but in the end I prefer the G203, it doesn't feel too small.

G-pro is not g203, its same design but different sensors, g-pro is better, g203 (eu name) aka g102 (usa name) is kind of g100 next generation. However i am using g203 and its pretty ok.

keyboard is personal preference, mouse depends on your grip/hand size (the lighter the better)

here's a few good mice from a very good reviewer: http://www.rocketjumpninja.com/top-40/

I got a Logitech G9 9 years ago because I saw Flash use it.
It took me a week to get used to it, but after that it felt amazing.

My next mouse will need to look and perform a lot like this one...
The design, durability and weight is perfect to me, but would not recommend it.
The wire is very stiff and the mousecase does not fit perfectly, it's a tiny bit loose.

While I'm happy with it, I think the G9 a very overpriced mouse for what you get.
I recommend a mouse that has a solid body, not something that's customizable (only costs u extra).
And have the wire be flexable or you may want to also get a mouse bungee, if that is still a thing.

logitech g102 is a nice mouse, its the modern version of g1 which was the best mouse i've used for playing starcraft with. g102 is not as good as the g1 tho, but still fine.

I just use whatever mouse I can get my hands on tbh. I got one for playing pubg for my school team so I currently use an AORUS m3. It's solid, better than my other mice which were extremely flat and didn't mold my hand very well.

The keyboard is also AORUS k7, which is Cherry MX Reds. I love Blues for the feel but unfortunately, playing a game like starcraft means my fingers tire out very quickly while using blues, so reds are my preferred switches instead.

Actually Razer Abyssus is probably the best mouse i've had for RTS, it is perfect for BW, generic mouse, cheap, accurate, no special buttons, it was actually designed specifically for RTS.

If you have big hands think about bigger mouse (deathadder,mamba, g403, SS Rival300).

Well if you have big hands you can buy the best mouse ever made :D, bit pricey but from the reviews i read it's well worth it. It's a 67g (VERY light) ambidextrous mouse with a great cord (don't even need a bungee), sensor and good clicks.

^
that's an upgraded version of this mouse: (they improved the cord)

they're most likely gonna release a smaller version of the ultralight in the future

Logitech g102/203 is the best mouse on the market currently. This is of course my opinion. It is a gpro with a different sensor, and if anyone in this thread tells you they can tell the difference in a real world scenario they are lying.
