    Hey guys. I need to buy some new peripherals for my build. I need a mouse, keyboard, mousepad, and a headset.
    I'm not sure on everything, but tell me if these are good choices, and if not, recommend something for me? Thanks in advance.

    Keyboard
    Mouse
    Headset
    Headphones 1
    Headphones 2
    Mousepad

    I was thinking of getting headphones 1 since they are more appealing to me but headphones 2 are $20 cheaper and come with a mic (I don't know if I'll ever need one) but also aren't in stores yet. By purchasing the mouse, headphones, and mousepad, I save $15 on shipping so it's only like $5 loss anyways (Plus I don't know how much shipping would be for the pitches).

    EDIT: Also, I'm not sure whether to choose brown or blue switches.

    Do you need headphones and a headset? I feel like you'd only need one, and since you don't need a mic I'd recommend the cheaper pair.

    Buying a mouse pad from Razr would be a bit of an overkill. It looks generic, and it costs double what you can get from amazon. I like anime, so I bought an Elfen Lied mousepad for 10$. Same quality, and I love how it looks.

    I'm not expert on keyboards, but it looks like you'd be paying almost 130$ for a generic keyboard. I must be missing something, because I've got a keyboard here that I paid 30$ for... and it has just as many, if not more, buttons as the one you listed.

    As for the mouse, I think it to be overkill as well. If you're going for a truly deep gaming experience then dish out. I'm just giving you the more logical build. I just read that the mousepad and mouse combine with sensors and some sort of ergonomic crap. It all sounds like an easy way to waste your money. While it may actually have faster reactions than a normal mouse, I don't think it's worth 50-60$ extra.

    Gave a lot of critique based on smart money options, if you're looking for immersion with gaming (throwing money to the wind) go for it.

    Props for the mechanical keyboard; they're a great choice if you know what you're buying, aka the difference between nowadays' low profile keyboards and the good 'ole mechanical ones.

    As for the rest of the items, I personally abhor peripherals that either have the word "gaming" in their name or are alien-looking (no idea why people find that "cool", lol). But I guess it's just, again, personal preference. :embar:

    Look up Minoix Naos for a mouse. I have their 8200 DPI version and I also have a deathadder 2013. Prefer the the naos a fair bit more.

    the das reminds me of a black widow with the gloss and the side view. a good board should come with the thing that allows you to remove the keycaps and see the switches. Get the long mousemad so you can put your keyboard on top of it. deathadder is good design but if you wanna spend an extra $50 on the mamba it comes with a sexy charging dock.

    that being said, don't support razer, they're the apple of peripherals.
