From an user post at Fomos

Keboard
- QSENN DT-35 (USB/PS2) - white or black
--> It has to be USB/PS2 combination. All progamers use this.

Mouse
- Logitech Mini Optical - Original, Ladybug, Soccer Ball, Football
--> All four models are not sold except in South Korea, but you can get Original from the Internet. Other three models are harder to get. All of them function the same; they just have a different design. Most progamers use this, but to give examples:
- Original - Jaedong
- Soccer Ball - Bisu
- Football - most gamers at KTF
If you sweat a lot, avoid Soccer Ball. And make sure to use mouse-wear!

Mouse Pad
- Qck mini or mass (steel series)

I thought all progamers used these mouse pads:

Except for HoeJJa, who uses the Func Surface 1030.

Sea uses the soccer ball one IIRC. I thought it was really appropriate given his young face and youngish age (not so much anymore I guess).

Isn't that because Razer sponsors WeMade FOX?

I got a Logitech Optical Mini to see how it was (I usually use a Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 -- best mouse ever). There's a problem with it if you move it too fast, it goes spastic. Very easy to see even on desktop, but especially noticeable in FPS games where you have to flick around a lot.

It also wasn't as smooth (even with the same DPI, same refresh rate (500Hz)) as my 3.0.

PS. At the same time as getting the mouse I got a DT-35. No complaints with that though. Its a nice simple keyboard with good tactile response and no issues with pressing too many keys at once. Quite nice to type on too.

this mouse is crap. koreans just use it because like all asians they have conformity hardwired into their brain-set. the qsenn dt-35 is also crap (i have both white and black) everyone uses it because 10 years ago that was the shitty keyboard and mouse that the ancients used. so everyone wanted to be like them and thus bought the crap gear. 10 years later it hasnt changed. if you want a good mouse with laser precision and no-fail tracking. i suggest razer krait.

The Razer Salmosa is the latest small 3 button entry level mouse that Razer offers. I would suggest getting that instead. Artosis mentioned that Nada uses the Salmosa because Razer sponsers Wemade. The Salmosa offers up to a 1000 hz refresh rate and I think that it really helps. Standard mouse has a 125 hz refresh rate which means it refreshs every 8ms, but 1000hz mouses refreshes every 1ms.

i have no problem with the mini optical

although it can't "read" extremely fast flicking, keep in mind:
1. starcraft is played in a 640x480 window
2. you're probably playing with a high enough sensitivity that you won't even need to flick your mouse that quickly

i even use the mini optical to play FPS games now, which isn't really a problem because I'm a med-high sens player

There can't be a mouse/keyboard thread without mention of the MX518. I picked one up a month or so ago, and I've fallen in love with this mouse. It's just perfect, well worth the $40 it is now.

I think the MX518 is too big.
