Well, I am really getting tired of my M$ Bluetooth Desktop combo and was looking into upgrading to a new pair.

I really like the Logitech G7 but dont like the G15 KB. I like the Saitek backlit KB but would prefer for the combo to be wireless. That has gotten me to thinking about the MX3100 but I've heard bad things about the MX1000 mouse. A friend of mine has that combo and it looked and felt really nice....but I have never gamed with it.

Also, how are those diNovo combos? thoughts/comments??
 
I have the Logitech MX1000 and would highly recommend it to anyone. It has no lag time, super long battery life (rechargable), and awesome tracking capabilities, plus it's really comfortable. I use it for games all the time and would take this over mostly any other mouse. If you want an all around great mouse, Id say this would be a good buy.
 
Personally I recommend the following:

Logitech G7... if there is a better mouse I don't know what it is

ANY Wireless Keyboard... get one that fits your needs as far as media keys and such go

Belkin Nostromo N52... why get a gamer's keyboard when you can get a gamepad that is SOOO much more comfortable. Especially if you're not a fan of the G15. The G15 is the only thing that comes close to the N52 from what I've seen.

There you go... wireless keyboard and mouse, and the best (in my strong opinion) gaming device ever. And considering throwing an XBox 360 controller into the mix :)
 
Just picked up a G7 mouse, and I do like it. However there is one funky thing that I discoverd.

The in game performance test for F.E.A.R. drops about 10fps on the average on my sig rig when its plugged in! When using my Microsoft Wireless Laser 6000, no problem. Other than when the Laser 6000 is plugged in my screensaver and power functions in Windows won't activate! UGHHHH!

I haven't done enough testing to see if F.E.A.R.'s in game test is off or if it really is experiencing that big of a drop. From like mid 60's to mid 50's. It doesn't feel like it, at the same time, it looks like the max frame rate is getting capped, and the min rate is the same, so I guess it's possible not to actually feel the difference.

I'll keep digging.

ah nice link!!

anyways...to reply to the other post....i had that belkin nostromos and i did not like it at all. i dont really need a gaming KB since I dont really play games like CoH, WoW, etc where the combos buttons would come in handy....i usually just play FPS and I can edit a regular KB to my liking. im checking that link now, thanks again!
 
Go for the MX1000. I have 2 and I love them so much.

Even if there is a problem with it, Logitech has an excellent customer service department. I'm speaking from experience. They replaced my MX1000 and didn't ask for the old one back. Free shipping on the replacement. Great, great service.
 
didnt see any wireless KBs in that link

I really wished saitek made a wireless KB....i really like the backlight but i HATE wires. I would pick a G7 and the Saitek in a heartbeat. Looks like the MX3100 is the leading choice at the moment....hopefully something else comes out soon....before I make the purchase cause I'm not 100% thrilled with it.
