    So, I need a mouse and an headset to use with my Clevo W860CU.

    Each one should cost around 30-40€ (euros!).

    I'm looking into one of this: Creative HS-800, Plantronics Gamecon 367 (or 377) and the Senheiser PC151. Wich one you think is the best? Are there any other headset for that price better than those 3?

    For the mouse, I looked into the Logitech M510 and the M705. Are they nice? Is there any other with nice quality around that price range?


    Thanks in advance!

    I'll vouch for the GameCom 377 being an excellent headset.

    As for a mouse, if you're looking for something good for gaming, check out the Razer DeathAdder. It's very lightweight and comfortable, and has a 3,500 DPI optical sensor.

    Not only for games, but for several other things too. I would like to have a wireless mouse, and that Razer is a bit expensive to me... :p

    If you can find it cheaper, have a look at the Logitech Performance MX.

    Sennheiser PC151.

    I used to use the Sennheiser PC161 for several years... and then gave those to my wife, because I had to give them a good home. When buying audio equipment, buy from a company that is actually in the business of making audio equipment.

    Hey I'm also looking for a headset around the same price range! Tell me what you buy, and your opinions!

    The Logitech Anywhere MX is a nice little mouse. Tracks on glass, very portable. The best part is the scroll wheel, which allows you to toggle between a mode where it "clicks" every few mm like all mouse do, or a free-spinning mode that lets you scroll really fast.

    I had that mouse for a bit - but returned it for the Logitech Performance MX (the big brother of the Anywhere MX). It's just a personal preference, but I prefer larger full-sized mice over small portable mice.

    I found the X8 in a very appelative price on Amazon, around 40 pounds. I'm divided on the MX Anywhere, the M705 and the X8 and in headsets, between the PC151 and the Plantronics 367...
