I just picked up the G9x...

http://benchmarkreviews.com/images/reviews/input_devices/910-001152/Logitech-G9x-Gaming-Mouse-Review-Splash.jpg

my palm doesnt rest on the mouse so it feels really different compared to my old logitech mouse from 8 years ago.. but the laser dpi is HUGE different.. i dont have to move my hand as much to turn around in BF3..

my next upgrade is my keyboard...
maybe the G110
http://www.gamingkeyboardreview.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/logitech-g110-1.jpg
or the G510
http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviewimages/logitech-g510/logitech-g510.jpg

the g13 looks pretty funky.. but can you play BF3 on it to replace the keyboard??

anyone else has the g13 would like to give some reviews?
Im mostly playing BF3, so if someone can recommend something different that might be better, something under $100 would be best... cheaper is better...

Have a G110 at home and a G19 at work, no complaints about either. My next keyboard will be mechanical since i'm curious what all the hubbub is about.

Probably this since it's one of the few mechanical keyboards that come with macro keys. There are lots of others that are sub $100 though.

Corsair Vengeance K90 Performance MMO Cherry MX Red Mechanical 20 Key Rollover Gaming Keyboard USB - Corsair - CH-9000003-NA (http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=64131&vpn=CH%2D9000003%2DNA&manufacture=Corsair)


edit: Actually i do have a complaint about the g110, I've found that the left control key seems a bit too rounded, like it doesn't stick out high enough from the keyboard, and i have trouble hitting it with my palm. I don't have any problem with that on the g19.

Awesome mouse for the price. I liked the shape better than the G9X

Keyboard G15....

I wanna try one of those mechanical keyboards next.

Using a Microsoft X5, and Everglide DKTboard. Mouse is good, looking towards a Blackwidow ultimate for keyboard though. Mechanical keyboards take a bit of getting used to, they're responsive, but they're loud if you bottom out. The trick is to learn to touch type.

Other random things I got's a Logitech G27, which is great for racing. Next thing though, a joystick; you really need one if you play BF3. Don't know about you but I can't fly worth s*** with a mouse and keyboard.

Nothing fancy. Logitech G500 bought on sale

http://www.logicool.co.jp/assets/22697/22697.png

And a cheap Logitech K340 because it's small but still has a num pad, and looks pretty cool without being gaudy like "gaming" keyboards

hey OP, i can tell you that if you are a serious gamer (fps or MMO stuff) DO NOT GET logitech keyboards. I have the G110 and let me tell you, mechanical keyboards are 1000x better. I have owned this keyboard for more than a year and I use to have the steelseries mechanical keyboard and it better in terms of feeling and typing/gaming.

for mice i went from

microsoft intel 1.1 --> Razer deathadder (too big and cheap/clunky, waste of junk) --> Steelseries Ikari (bought from typeRnammer in RS :lawl: good for casual stuff but not for gaming because it is a really big mice that fits your hand perfectly) --> Steelseries XAI (great mice but i did not like these new type of mice any more...) --> went back to my microsoft intel 1.1 .... LOL wasted so much cash on gaming mice. I am a hardcore gamer though :/ use to play a lot of competitive counter strike and DotA 1

I have the same MX5500 Revolution set, but I swapped the mouse to my iMac since the Apple Magic Mouse fucking blows and it's obviously not used for gaming, anyways. The MX518 is way better for gaming and I snagged it fucking cheap on clearance from Staples ($12).

Mouse - MX518
Keyboard - MX5500
Controller - XBOX 360
Wheel - G27
Joystick - None (don't play flight games anymore)

for me. got the g5 from NismoUmbrella on RS when he was doing the staff discount stuff years ago haha. great mouse. no issues ever.. but the backlighting on the g15 is starting to fail on me now. and seems some times it glitches out a bit. might need to replace it soon.

since everyone is on the subject I wanna ask if anybody here has the logitech g700, I'm having problems with battery life. I don't game, and I use it for normal browsing with my tv/pc setup. I'll get one day of usage on a full charge, I have two of these mice bought brand new and they both suffer the same battery issues, am I really unlucky or should I move onto another wireless performance mouse and what do you guys recommend ?
I play like one PC game a year, so I don't need crazy gaming performance


it looks like this btw, this thing is comfy as shitzz btw, and I got big hands

thanks, yea man I don't know about this mouse.... I even notice a difference when it's plugged into the computer than when it's wireless, it's noticeably smoother when plugged in...
I been using only highest quality rechargeable batteries made in japan, the sanyo and even those expensive energizers same stuff..
for kicks I just popped in a brand new value brand non rechargeable earlier this morning to see what happens, at around 1pm, been on the computer since so it's 5 now, just browsing and the battery is already dead, lol, 4 hours on just moving the cursor around and I'm 6 feet away from the computer

I had the older Logitech G7 mouse, and the battery typically last 6-10 hours of usage only. (So you have to charge the battery every 1-2 days)
I think most of logitech "wireless gaming mouse" have the same poor battery life
Luckily for the G7, it includes 2 batteries and a separate charging cradle for the spare battery.
