    After some plenty research I was just wondering what is the general census of your preferred Gaming keyboard and mouse combination.

    For another post about gaming mouse reviews can be found here
    Mouse Benchmarks: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1265679&page=10


    I was wondering what you guys use to game on your laptop.

    Can you guys post like this??:

    1) Genre/Games Played (FPS, CS:S, TF2, CoD4)
    2) Keyboard used (eg. Laptop keyboard)
    3) Mouse used (Logitech G7, Logitech MX518, Razr Diamondback)

    Belkin N52 speedpad $37 at Bestbuy and a Razer Deathadder $60 Bestbuy. Hard to beat for $97. The N52 is hard to beat. ;) ;)

    Logitech gaming desktop , EX110 series,wireless.
    Best thing to have a wireless keyboard and lay in bed while playing :D. Also I use an A4tech wireless mouse ,battery free, and worked like a charm for the last 2 years on 3 separate computers. Needless to say back in the old days this thing would make me a helluva quake3`er... :D

    Get a G5 mouse its cheaper now and its adaqute for most people. No need for G7 I don't think anyone really uses 3000 DPI unless you are into professional gaming or sumthing

    Call of Duty 4, Battlefield 2/2142/1942, Oblivion, Orange Box, Call of Duty 2, World of Warcraft, Unreal Tournament 3- Notebook keyboard and basic Microsoft Notebook mouse. Mouse is small, effective, and 800dpi is plenty for anything on a 17" screen. Sometimes, if I wanna feel fancy, I'll use my Razer Daimondback... but due to the mobility, the Microsoft mouse is always in my bag! (I also use a World of Warcraft "Fragmat", and for some reason, it feels A LOT better than any other mousepad)

    All Genres except sports, pretty much every game in those genres. (500+)

    I use a Razr DeathAdder these days, great tracking + precision + accuracy and it feels great in my hand! I am left handed, but it is worth learning right handed mousing for this one.

    Keyboard...don't care...right now I use my MacBook Pro keyboard.

    Thanks guys for sharing your setups

    Unfortuantely I got a Saitek Eclipse II with my Logitech G5. I got a sweet deal on them both combined for $50 by a local retailer of mine.

    I used the Saitek I at a local gaming pub and I grew fond of it. The Eclipse is extremely smooth to type on, defined, with a little ordinary tap when typing. Confident strides, and with an great LED type glowing keyboard!!!
