Pretty much says it all. Currently using a wireless Microsoft keyboard and mouse but as you may know batteries can die at the most awesome times. Have a budget for 1 or the other but cant really swing both right now, any suggestions as which would be more beneficial would be appreciated. thanks

Ok, please elaborate, currently looking into my local best buy. I examined the options they have and well razors seems nice, other gaming mice they had all seemed flimsy in comparison.

I've been using a DeathAdder for like half a year now with no problems at all. I'm thinking about getting a G9x though.

I have the g9x and its really awesome. It doesn't have much of a palm rest, but its small and light so its perfect if you are like me and use your fingertips to move the mouse.

It also stores all your mouse settings on the mouse so you can take it anywhere and plug it in and its configured the way you want it. It doesnt store the windows mouse settings though.

Ive had a razer mouse for nearly 3 years and it has yet to be break down on me. The mouse is more important for me than a keyboard.

Logitech, Steelseries and Razer all seem to be pretty solid. Just try to find one that suits you best.

I just bought a Logitech G9x mouse, fits my small hands better than an mx518. Had a G9 before those two but the right mouse button broke from too much WoW gaming (mouse look activates by holding down the right mouse button).

I wouldn't buy a G13 for Starcraft 2, you'll probably run out of keys to bind stuff to.

Not a fan of Razer after I had two Boomslangs break within 3 months, but that was a long time ago. Hopefully their build quality has improved since a lot of people use and recommend Razer mice.

Of course have to buy a good mouse and keyboard, the most simple, but wired.

Razer sponsored the first TSL - support them over Logitech and Steelseries!

... Also, their mice are fantastic. They have far stronger designs than their competitors, and they're durable as shit.

Gotta agree, Razor mice are awesome and i will always support them and advice everyone to buy them just because they sponsored TSL and helped our community

I've tried a couple of different razer mice and truly hated them all. Probably just me but they really dont fit my hand. On the other hand, I've been very happy with my logitech g5 for umm 3? years.

Razer Abyssus, or ebay a progamer edition Salmosa if you have tiny hands. It's LMO or Razer for me - anyone who helps out Day9 deserves your dollar

I would definitely recommend A Razer, a good place to start is the Deathadder

I bought a new mouse just a few weeks ago, and I was waging pro's and con's between different Razer models versus SteelSeries models. Though I finally settled with a Steel mouse, I really have nothing bad to say about Razer.
However, many people say that the Razer config software is horrible, that the lifespan of the mouse itself is low and that it attracts dirt and shit easily, but I can't confirm any of this.

The only reason I picked a Steel mouse instead of Razer was the price (I'm broke) together with the fact that Razer don't have any super-lightweight small mouse models, so I went for a Kinzu.

I've owned ~10 gaming mice in the past couple of years, and Razer has let me down every time... from the piece of junk Copperhead (it was very pricey back then... yet had an extremely bad sensor) to the silent recall of the DeathAdder (first batch had an accel issue). Their headsets are awful as well and break in a month or two... I've owned two of them, both died very quickly despite very careful handling. Reading newegg comments on the headset, I realized I wasn't the only one.

I'd definitely stick with Logitech / MS mice.

Razers arnt known for their life.

I'm still a fan of them I really like updating my mouse ever so often. They still perform very well in comparison to other mice. If you're an intense high apm player; Its really nice to put some investment into gear. Its also hard to switch from razer to another mouse once you experience the high DPI and requency settings.

best if you can try one before you buy it, ask if you can plug it into a demo computer.

I've had my logitech G5 for like 5 years now it seems, has perfect tracking, exttra buttons i never use, a scroll wheel, somewhere around ~2000 dpi, but works as good or better than any new gaming mouse. From what I've heard steelseries is for fps, razer is the best but their mice dont stand the test of time, and logtech is somewhere inbetween.

Salmosa is the best mouse I've ever owned. Also have a Kinzu and they are cheap now.

Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Razer make great stuff.. the problem is they never last. I've owned a krait, deathadder and currently using an abyssus. My krait and DA never lasted more than 2 years. I'm not exactly abusive with my PC peripherals, sometimes I bring them out for LANs and tourneys but that's about it. So if you ask me, razer makes nice stuff that looks pretty.. but don't expect them to last. If thats ok with you, then go razer.. if you want an ugly mouse that's durable as hell and lasts forever.. I recommend the logitech mx518. :D
