Your favorite keyboard + mouse

I'm using an MX518 and Logitech Elite keyboard...but I'm looking for a new keyboard.

Something that's

1. Black
2. USB
3. Has a USB hub
4. Has media controls
5. Works in XP x64
 
I have a Logitech MX510 mouse and a Microsoft USB Digital Media Pro keyboard
 
IBM Model M

I hope your kidding there about the keyboard.

Mx Cordless Duo over here, although I am thinking about adding a MX510 for gaming.
 
Satiek Eclipse for mouse i use the mx518 but the mouse shape that i prefer is the orignal gaming mosue / paw shaped mice by logitech (3 buttons no wheel) if they remade it in a optical verison id buy it in a heart beat.
 
I got the MX3100 set and it is the best keyboard/mouse ive ever owned. If you get it, you wont be displeased.
 
my favorite is a Logitech ELite keyboard and MX1000. I wouldn't get anything else, even if I had $1,000,000
 
The new ultra flat Logitech Media keyboard and a mx510 sometimes my Razer Diamondback...

I want a mx518 though.

I wore my mx510 out.
 
I'm typing on that M$ Pro one now and it's pretty good. Lots of media buttons but I really dig that Zoom toggle on the left. As a graphic designer I use it all the time in Illustrator and Photoshop... even in IE/Mozilla so I can read the text better at times. The Mac drivers are also pretty good for it.
 
I haven't done much thinking on the mouse. Usually I just buy the latest and greatest corded Logitec model when I need one. As for the keyboard, there's really no question- IBM Model M. Fully mechanical (instead of a mushy plastic membrane), and I hear they're dishwasher safe. I haven't used anything else that has the same key feel. They're a bit loud unfortunately. If they weren't I'd take my spare into work. Unfortunately they're not made anymore AFAIK. The closest thing I've seen to one new lately (as in a year or two ago) was $180.
 
Hmm a lot of you have mx510, why not mx1000? Also are wireless keyboard recommended? It would be a pain in the arse to replace the batteries everytime it runs out.
 
I dont trust wireless mice, scary to think of it dropping a signal in a competetive game.

Also I heard the mx1000 have a problem when you pick them up and stuff and I pick up my mouse a lot when I play(small mouse pad)
 
I enjoy using my Logitech equipment, the mx510 and Elite keyboard.

Honestly, If i gamed more, I'd want a fast mouse with fewer buttons and a keyboard with fewer buttons, kinda like the logitech basic models.

 
I wish the IBM UltraNAV keyboard (or trackpoint series) had media keys...then they would be > *.
 
MS multimedia keyboard (except for the weird delete key) and my logitech mx300... oh yes ... owned many faces with this in the last couple years :D
 
I love my Red MX510 And IBM Buckling Spring Keyboard. Mine isn't a Model M, Not sure how to describe it, Its a bit more compact :) Love it, Hope it never dies!
 
Logitech MX Duo is super sweet, I have yet to experience any lag and the batteries in my keyboard last AT LEAST 6 months they've gone almost 9-10 months before.

Before this I had a logitech elite duo, same as the MX Duo but with a slightly shittier mouse.
though I don't use the wirelessness of the keyboard often, it's nice to be able to just put it next to my monitor when I need some drawing/writing space.

Peace
 
Logitech Elite keyboard and MX1000 mouse. It's hard to get used to the mouse because it's so much heavier than a wired one. Opened it up looking for a weight and found it, 4 battery cells :p
 
I use the MX700 and Logitech Cordless Black Elite keyboard I got in the MX Duo pack. I'm still using the same rechargeables in the MX700 since I got it March 2004. I've been using the same batteries in the keyboard for a full year without changing them, both work great.
 
I use BlueMX510, and Logitech LX700 Keyboard (mouse wont charge on dock so not gonna keep spending money on lith ion batteries, or 30 bucks for that matter on a lith ion charger)

I use a generic media keyboard from the corner PC shop. And my mouse is a Logitech Marble Mouse (trackball.) And despite what some people think, as long as you clean the ball regularly it is very smooth and accurate.

Trackballs for life. :cool:
 
Microsoft Natural Elite. 6 years old and still truckin'! Every game I've ever played on the PC has been played on this baby. I LOVE this keyboard! :D

mx510 mouse + fUnc 1030 for the mousing aspect of things.

Well put LOL. If I game a lot do you guys recommend the mx518 or the mx1000? I like the wireless freedom.

Since optical mice were released the only balls I clean are my own.
 
Ahahaha, very funny guys. :rolleyes:

I wasn't kidding about cleaning often improving the performance though. After I give my ball a good washing (Oh shut up.) I can compete with people who have good optical mice when it comes to sharpshooting in FPS games.
 
El cheapo black keyboard every 6 months, and a Razer DiamondBack optical mouse. :D
 
laptop keyboard and razer diamondback mouse. the mouse cost 10-15 bucks over anything else, but its well worth it for how much i use it.
