Qpad just got a new keyboard, looks nice: http://www.corporate.qpad.se/modules/news/
(not sure if available in the US though).



For mouse, depends what kind of mouse you like, I like palm grip mouses, so for me I would go for the Logitech g9x with the "precision" grip''.

I have the Logi G9 mouse, it's great.

I have the latest-gen G15 keyboard with the mono LCD but nicer than the first gen. A lot cheaper than the color G19.



The Jedi Master

Gents, I just got my K90 Vengeance Keyboard in and I'm loving it! The little resistance Cherry Red switches are a dream to type on. Of course it takes a bit to get used to... The features are great and fit my needs perfectly. I'm not really missing the LCD screen of my old G15.

Hi All,

Not sure if it was just my specific Mobo but it had NO PS/2 Ports built in USB ONLY.. So I would check with the Mobo to find out if it has PS/2 Ports if NOT make sure your Mouse and keyboard are USB..

Luckily I had a USB Keyboard around when I was done putting my PC together and found out almost too late..NOt sure if this is the trend with new systems and they are Outting PS/2 Connections or was it just my specific board in anycase just check your Mobo to be sure before buying the Mice and Keyboard..

What did you end up with Magnum?
PS/2 is old tech and definitely being phased out.

Funny thing is, PS/2 is generally regarded as a better interface for keyboards. Interrupt-based (not polled), most PS/2 boards with full NKRO aren't limited to 6 keys + modifiers, that sort of thing. Except these days, it's actually more expensive to implement than USB from what I've heard, so they're omitting it.

Fortunately, all the reasonably feature-rich motherboards I've seen these days still sport at least one PS/2 port, and if even that ceases to be, there's plenty of PS/2-to-USB adapters floating around, particularly these "Blue Cube" adapters the other Geekhackers are fond of because they work with IBM Model Ms.

Just an FYI, the K90 has a 20 key roll over, plus a full matrix anti-ghosting and it's USB.

From what I've read, it's certainly possible to get full NKRO out of USB, but why it isn't more common is beyond me. Some methods are kind of hacky, though, like a keyboard presenting itself as 20 different keyboards at the logical level...

On top of that, some boards which do work nicely and have full NKRO on Windows, like the Noppoo Choc Mini, don't get along well with OS X for whatever reason. Yet other boards like the Microsoft SideWinder X4 might work fine on anything...

Ooh, nice little thing. Now to find a separate numpad, that also has the other key clusters (the cursors, ins/del and prtsscr ones).

Keyboards from Keytronic - standard configuration and lifetime warranty. I've tried all kinds of brands including Cherry.

And after all the mice my cat could catch it the Logitech gaming mice that fit best and include a few extra buttons - where I use the thumb buttons for TIR Center & Pause.
This mouse

This mouse is OK but has two shells - decisions, decisions...
Have this mouse, too

I had a R.A.T. 5 and my pinky felt like it did not fit the mouse right. I prefer a wired mouse because I don't like the battery weight.
