The Storyteller Singapore2486 Posts February 19 2009 12:11 GMT #41 My Razer Copperhead and Razer ExactMat. Prior to this I always used crappy mice and pads (if at all). Now I can't go back to using crap, even though I'm really not doing anything to justify such a high end mouse/pad. I like the sensitivity, the feel, and how smooth the mouse feels gliding over the surface. And since I got it free at WCG 2005 when I was doing my docu, it brings back very fond memories. My only complaint is that it's a little hard to clean without rubbing off the glowing logo. Other than that, it's great. When this one breaks down, I'm definitely going back to Razer.

Hammy France828 Posts February 19 2009 12:18 GMT #42 People get all hyped up when they want a new mouse. I know a bunch of people who bought a copperhead or a diamondback for two reasons: it's razer and it shines (but of course they won't say that ). And nowadays, what says you're a real gamer more than a Razer mouse? Well i'm the kind of guy who likes to buy stuff based exclusively on how much my needs correspond to the specs. Don't get me wrong, I think razer makes awesome mice, but I do feel they are slightly overpriced and just have too many things I know i'd never use. So when I was shopping for a mouse what was I looking for? -A small mouse (I'm used to a Fingerstyle Grip on my mouse) -A comfortable mouse (As in, a mouse I'M comfortable with) -A mouse with at least 1200dpi sensitivity (With 800dpi I already had my mouse on max speed on windows and I wanted it to be faster) -At least three buttons and a scroll -A wired mouse (Faster response apparently, and it's just a hassle to change batteries) -Not too expensive (I wouldn't spend 100Euro on a mouse) Now the price wasn't such a big issue, but what I don't like about more expensive gear is that they tend to toss in gadgets which i'm just not interested in (like mouse memory, dynamic dpi switching, 7 buttons, cable holders, gold plated usb ports etc...). It's not that these additions can't be useful, it's just that I haven't got any use for them. So basically when I buy a more expensive mouse I get stuff I don't even want. I guess you're all thinking: this guy needs a G1 or a Logitech mini-optical. Well I considered going for one of those, but I really wanted a more sensitive mouse (they're both at 800dpi) so I decided they were out. Now you must be getting bored so i'll spare the details, but i tried out a bunch of mice, some good but overpriced, some just overpriced, and some great but didn't exactly fit my needs (too large or low dpi etc...). In the end (I might be flamed to hell here) I settled for a Genius mouse! In the past I hadn't had the best experience with this brand but I just couldn't "not" try this mouse out. It was a perfect fit. I'm talking about the Genius Ergo300 Mini Wired Mouse. http://www.elive.co.nz/genius-ergo300-wiredmouse-dv0683.php This mouse is equipped with 1200 dpi optical lens technology, it's small, comfortable and light. I had tried out some cheaper laser technologies and those were just terrible. They kept on skipping pixels and stuff. With this optical mouse the tracking is good and smooth. Basically this mouse had everything I needed. The only additionnal gadget (they all have one...) is the horizontal scrolling, which I don't use, but whatever, it's not like that gadget made the price skyrocket anyways. So to sum up, I needed a simple, relatively sensitive mouse so I got just that, and nothing more, and i'm really happy they still make simple mice for users who don't need a 4000dpi, gold plated, LED lit, titanium reinforced mouse I'd say the razer mouse I hesitated most to buy is the salmosa but I just wasn't sure what more it could bring compared to the mouse i have now. And it was over double the price, so I decided pretty quickly. I think that razer should consider more mice for the fingerstyle gamers out there, and we sure are plenty. In case this thread turns into a "What mouse should I buy?" I should mention that since I've only had this mouse for a few months I can't really comment on how sturdy it is. If it ever breaks down I'll be sure to edit this post.

CFDragon United States304 Posts February 19 2009 13:15 GMT #43 Hmm, the Razer Copperhead is a definite contender for my favorite gaming peripheral. I've used may, many different mouses before getting one. Including a Fata1ity 110 or something like that. That mouse was crap, broke in about a week, and as it turns out from what I've read most people have the same problem with it. I've had the copperhead for about a year now and have been loving it. I really like the ability to swap between sensitivities at the touch of a button and to store different configurations. The Copperhead, unfortunately, isn't my favorite piece of computer gear. That spot is reserved for my speaker system. I have a Creative 5.1 surround system. I absolutely love the subwoofer. Actually FEELING the blast from a siege tank, the explosion from a stray frag in Call of Duty, the intensity of a multi-rocket spiral in Unreal Tournament, the ferocity of a M249 SAW in Armyops, and of course the splat of a head in any FPS. Yup, this baby really enhances the gaming experience in many, many ways. It simply isn't the same watching a movie, playing a game, or listening to music without a subwoofer of some kind. The bass is enormous. It was such an easy purchase, but it's added so much depth to everything I do on my PC. I do live with roomates though, so shaking the house at 4 in the morning in late-night ICCup sessions does have disadvantages .

inReacH Sweden1612 Posts February 19 2009 13:17 GMT #44 Steve I assume this contest was conceived to possibly help razor with future design decisions.. I have some things to say about my current mouse(salmosa) as well as my current keyboard. I have a ton of good things to say about both and also several things I would change, can the format of my submission be altered to my liking so that I can best express myself without being disqualified?

liger13 United States1060 Posts February 19 2009 13:45 GMT #45 My favorite peripheral right now would be the razer salmosa. I used the death adder for a while but after witching over i cant go back. The salmosa is rather simple, no glowing lights or extra buttons, but its so light and small... coupled with the mouse bungee its a beast that cannot be stopped... unless your a c- protoss :'(

aseq Netherlands3983 Posts February 19 2009 13:51 GMT #46 Mine would have to be the mouse. Although i'm not too picky when it comes to this, i like my Razer Deathadder. It's smooth and fast. Together with a steel mousepad it allows my apm to peak over 80^^.

jhNz Germany2762 Posts February 19 2009 14:06 GMT #47 my vote goes to my corepad magna. i got it about 4 years ago when i was part of the crew at sogamed.com. there was a survey with hardware prizes sponsored by corepad and they had a few in spare. so i got one too the pad is made of teflon-coated glass and it lays on a thin foam-mat. so it doesn't slip on the table but the friction between pad and mouse is minimized to an ideal scale. the size is in a perfect balance between big and not-using-all-space-on-the-table.

dhe95 United States1213 Posts February 19 2009 14:11 GMT #48 My favorite is my trackpad because it always messes me up, I always misclick, it always scrolls too much or too little, it always makes me off by a few cm in a FPS, it can never scroll straight, and you feel the friction while trying to move fast which slows you down. Yep. I can see perfectly why I'm so good at StarCraft and FPS games.

miseiler United States1389 Posts February 19 2009 14:42 GMT #49 My favourite gaming peripheral is my headset. Before this device, how could I berate other players mercilessly? They would never know what I thought of their mothers, nor the details of the tender moments we shared the night before. Before the headset, I could not share my music with the entire server. I can only imagine their anguish in not knowing the joys of Rick Astley played in a continuous loop. I humbly submit for consideration the Logitech USB Supra-aural premium notebook headset, without which sharing the joy of gaming with my fellow players would be so much more difficult.

Fzero United States1503 Posts February 19 2009 14:53 GMT #50 My firefly lanyard that says "Browncoat Brigade" on one side and "You can't take the Sky from me" on the other. XD It's application? To show off at work. I'm a geek.

Duke United States1106 Posts February 19 2009 15:00 GMT #51 My favorite gaming peripheral would definitely be my Razer Mantis Speed mouse pad. My Diamondback took so little effort to move - it would easily glide over the surface which allowed precise responses to be natural. My Diamondback is broken(lasted for the longest any mouse has for me, I'm like some kind of brutal mouse mass murderer), but even heavier mice have no problem sweeping across this thing. And there's so much ROOM! To start creating an efficient setup, a large quality mouse pad would be my first thing to look for.

snowbird Germany2044 Posts February 19 2009 15:02 GMT #52 ok, I hope I don't get banned for this but I can tell you what's NOT my favourite gaming peripheral: Razer mice I bought a copperhead back when it came out, first of all it was ridiculously expensive, but hey that's ok, as long as the product is as good as they advertise it to be. Problem is, the drivers sucked so much it's not even funny. At first the Razer software wouldn't even recognize the mouse, I had to plug it out and in several times, try several different usb slots until it finally worked (using WinXP). I also tried another PC and had the same issue. So then the mouse worked, but whenever I rebooted the PC it was just random luck if the mouse worked or not. Sometimes even unplugging and replugging the mouse didn't work and I had to reboot again and hope it'd work this time. Another thing that annoyed me to hell was the rubber stuff on the left and right of the mouse for better grip. It wore off really fast and got kind of sticky and just uncomfortable and ugly after some time. Another big complaint I had with the mouse was that I had a super laggy mouse pointer when doing fast movements with the mouse. It was a known bug and after some time there was a firmware update which fixed this, but until then it was basically impossible to play FPS games which was the main purpose I bought the mouse for. At that point I decided that I would never buy Razer products again and stick with Logitech mice, because they just work and I have never had any problems with a Logitech mouse. Been using the G3 now for ages and it's easily my favorite mouse of all time. I'm sure Razer has improved on their drivers and plug and play compatibility by now, but it just kinda destroyed my trust in the company. On the pro side, I really liked the Razer Mantis mousepad which I used for a long time but had to can it because I spilled coffee on it.

rredtooth 5460 Posts February 19 2009 15:12 GMT #53 I have these headphones and I have to say that I love them. Solid bass (unlike another set of earphones I have from icemat) and really does block out a good chunk of external noise. My only qualm would be that the place where the earbuds split from the main line ripped but that's probably due to me flinging it around and hitting people with the buds. Yes, it does make a nice weapon. Mega durable and the case is sick (fits 2 usb drives and has a handy SD-card sized compartment as well). Well worth it. So yeah, I need a new one of these (mine still work but the ripping split is annoying me) so that's my pitch for "best product".

IMlemon Lithuania296 Posts February 19 2009 15:15 GMT #54 Got to go with my logitech G5 mouse. I loved it from the time I first touched it. It fit into my hand perfectly, and had a very nice feel to it. Also five customizable DPI options you can switch on the fly. I really like it, because whenever I want to play starcraft or counterstrike I need to adjust my mouse sensitivity, and now I can do it just one click. Also, there's a bunch of buttons, which is nice. You can really customize stuff with the software you get too, but im not hardcore enough for that. Basically, its the feel of the mouse. I dont really care how many buttons it has or whatever, those are kinda like bonuses. What I love about G5 is the way it somehow STICKS to my hand, and simply feels so accurate and natural. No other mouse has even come close to this feel for 2 years since I've bought it. I'll continue to use it until it breaks down (no sign of that yet, despite all the mashing and smashing I've done... Especially the scroll wheel, I spin it like non-stop whenever I play counter-strike) , and probably buy another one then .

Terranesque 119 Posts February 19 2009 15:19 GMT #55 Logitech MX510 I'm sure the 518 is better. Simply put it is the greatest mouse ever designed. Unfortunately for Razer, their models do not come close. Comfort and functionality. Out of all the gaming peripherals this one was chosen because if I had to compete with generic hardware except for one peripheral of my choosing. I would have to choose my mouse, everything else can be dealt with.

ScoutWBF Germany622 Posts February 19 2009 15:34 GMT #56 My favorite is the black Samsung SEM DT-35. I just love this keyboard. It has the perfect size, is neither too flat or to high and the keys are the right size for my fingers. The DT-35 is very durable. I'm using it for around 2 years and I never had a problem with it. Also it has the english key layout, so it's much better for writing in English or other foreign languages (Korean/Japanese) because I have the correct layout visable. It might not be the most flashy keyboard but one can still show off with it.:D But the best thing is the sound that the keys make when you push them. I just love the "clack, clack, clack" when I'm writing. Never had a better keyboard and I will buy another SEM DT-35 when my one breaks. ^^ But then I'll go with the white one and exchange keys to get a white/black color :D

Trozz Canada3454 Posts February 19 2009 16:03 GMT #57 I love my headphones. They are massive, black, and loud. Makes for good gaming. + Show Spoiler + Panasonic RP-HTX7

Scooter United States747 Posts February 19 2009 16:30 GMT #58 My custom Joystick is my baby. Joysticks are the only peripheral I think is still perfect at what it does other than the mouse and keyboard. In competitive gaming, playing any 2d fighter worth its salt with a pad is exactly the same as playing a professional first person shooter like Quake 3 or Team Fortress 2 with an XBox pad. Indeed, the stick is a peripheral that has withstood the test of time. Equipped with a Seimitsu LS-32 stick and PS-14 clear buttons, this thing screams style while being the most responsive parts on the market. I don't care about aesthetics, but the scary Mexican gangster I won it off of in a money match did. Having a custom stick is as important as being good at a fighting game itself. Of course it makes things a little easier, but the personal touch and flair it adds to your game can't be replicated by a mass produced product. Just looking at the art on the stick is enough to hype up your game.

Kaltes_Feuer Netherlands7 Posts February 19 2009 16:39 GMT #60 I use since 2003-2004 only Logitech! Why? For that moment there was a war between Microsoft and Logitech, the second sompany won due to the prices for the goods and innovations in design and quality of a product! It was fashionable to have an abrupt mousy! Yes-yes a mousy - it always was and remains the important factor in love to the game company. With output Intelli Explorer 4 - it is connected to many noise: yes - design super! Ergonomics-too! Characteristics - a sediment! And in fact Microsoft and the Internet shops untwisted through can this mouse promising space results =)... People was disappointed! Here also there was a qualitative mouse from Logitech МХ510! - Bright appearance, excellent characteristics! Manufacturers of other devices were in flight. It is necessary to note the important thing - distribution on the world! And?!!! The GUARANTEE!!! Running beforehand - at Logitech 3 years!!! Whether there are at Razer such characteristics and service centers??? - is not present!! Razer - it is focused on dear" the buyer. Logitech has proved superquality! For many RaZoR looks childly! As to keyboards: Sven (3235), Logitech (Internet), Mitsumi - the keyboard soft + brushes do not get tired Hands. To people to prove, that the keyboard can change or improve somehow quality of game - hard! And here again Logitech shows all world - we the first! G11, G15 have simply crushed all!!! From the experience has found out a number of defects of this keyboard (especially for not English-speaking versions - in illumination), but this MIRACLE the-keyboard! Razer.... ehhhh, like also has made where better the keyboard, but there was no desire and properties in its purchase! The important factor have left both videoclips and photos about a Starcraft of festivals in which showed a Starcraft 2!!! The Best advertising of devices! Mousy logitech g3, mx300, mx518 - rather convenient, qualitative!!! Steelpad steelseries - pud with a good covering! Many players have got used to old mouses. On reliability the best had appeared Microsoft intelli explorer 3.0 and Logitech mx300. Any like in a choice of keyboards is not present - the main thing that there were soft buttons. I shall notice, that at Logitech left Shift short is "-" The choice of my friends is Razer - quality and it is convenient! If to take mousy Razer that I choose model Guildwars for very conveniently under a hand quality the mouse and already long does not give failure + the newest models! Carpet from fUnC ind. Gives a heat!!! Simply all nice! Similar models from RaZer concede in a practicality! I shall notice, that very much carpets use a great demand rag! Legs for moses have high wear resistance to friction on a fabric. The fabric gives softness and simplicity in service - washing =). I like the form mouse by Razer, it sympathizes with me rather than mx518, but ON and buttons onside - horror =) more. From other devices I wish to note the Leader - G25 - super a rudder... Mechanics wonderful. Excellent characteristics in all (except for the price =))) and gamepuds from all the same Logitech! Headphones - KOSS (quality), SteeL (design), Razer (design), Logitech (the price, quality) so, it would be desirable. That company RaZer me has enticed =) That it can make? 1) To solve the problem with service or that I even did not ask such question, and knew that RaZer - quality always and for a long time! 2) Has solved the problem with silly buttons onside and switching dpi as on mx518 3) Carpets were more practical (to let out budgetary models of fabric carpets - A4tech X7 while in this sense is in the lead) to change packing for mice of the big size. 4) to allow know quality - and it only toutch though to something them Razer. 5) I should have such feeling at purchase, that buying RaZer even if the price of a mousy more than 50 $, that it is exact not shit, RaZer cannot be bad! 6) Servicing! Sale Сопуствующих of the goods!!! (would be abruptly if spare legs were issued as does Steel), budgetary models set (bluetooth for mobile and PC) Much still would be desirable said to all, here only my English leaves much to be desired =) I am glad, that there is such communication with a society! =) In the summer I shall think what to choose =) Logitech or RaZer
