I have a 40cm Razor mouse pad... a big ass VS logo on it would be win... else I will keep my G500 & G15

I'd pay good money for a VS themed keyboard, my last one had beer spillt on it so now im using some crapy $10 keyboard from wallmart...

What are your thoughts on the Corsair Vengeance K60 Performance FPS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard?

The other Corsair keyboard that was suggested has too many extra buttons since I don't play MMORPGs hardcore.

Tt's work fine, if you buy one for more than $20.

However i suggest steelseries if you have the cash.
Steelseries also makes good Headsets.

While cool in theory, I hate my Razer Naga mouse. Well, I actually like the mouse, but hate the software that comes with it. I will never buy their products again.

I have a razer mamba and I love it. Never going wired again.

I was actually thinking about this yesterday since Razer does that for many different games. I already want an mechanical keyboard and it would be awesome to have an NC themed one

But what I really want to see is a Logitech mechanical keyboard, with that G15/G510 display on it. I would buy that immediately.

I own a Razer Naga mouse, and it's served me faithfully for about a year now. Bought it for WoW, and I've since found that I simply cannot game without it, no matter the genre.

Never tried a Razer keyboard though, but a friend of mine has a Steelseries mechanical one, and he's more than satisfied with it. So I say YEAH!

If SOE are interested in doing something like this though, I'd emplore them not to go with Razer. I'm pretty sure all their "branded" stuff (SC2, Tron, SWTOR) is poor compared to even their own bad products.

Logitech would be pretty cool, but good luck getting them to make a branded keyboard, let alone a mechanical one...The most I'd expect is seeing a recolour of one of their existing keyboards with a PS2 logo slapped on it.

Steelseries would probably be their best bet, since their keyboards are fairly good and they have a history of doing branded products.

Cooler Master are a pretty cool company, even if they did fuck up by going from Costar to iOne. Their keyboards aren't bad for a gaming company and sure as hell beat Razer's. I don't know how inclined they'd be to do a branded keyboard, though.

Edit: Oh and fuck Corsair. I've never seen such a shitty attitude in response to criticism of their products.

No, they make comfortable headsets.

iv had the same Razer Keyboard for about 7 years and never had any problems with it. id get one for planetside 2. though mice for the games are normally the lower end ones so wouldnt bother with them as i got a razer naga hex wraith only a couple of months ago.

razer mouse mats are good though. got the battlefield 3 one and love it. even the case it comes would be awesome with planetside 2 on it.

only if it was mechanical

Goddamn dude, just let people like what they want to like.

I don't know what your beef is with gaming peripherals, but most of them aren't half as bad as you say they are. Lots of people own Razer and love the product, including myself.

Razer keyboards suck, their mice are alright.

Wouldn't be surprised if the PC gaming peripheral companies like Razer and steelseries are in talks with SOE to develop exclusive products.
There are websites out there where one can order custom mouse pads, all you need to provide is a pic.

Yes, owner's-bias is common ("I own it and I like it, therefore it deserves being recommended"

). I myself own some Razer Piranhas because I didn't know any better when I bought them. Do I dislike them? No. Would I suggest that anyone who cares about sound quality buy them? No, because everything tells me that the best equivalently-priced headphones would sound significantly better.

Also, I said Razer had bad products, not that their entire line-up was bad. The Razer Death Adder is one of the best mice available. However, their mechanical keyboards are among the worst out there. Does that mean they're absolutely terrible? No. Does that mean people who don't know better or have no better keyboard to compare it to won't be satisfied with it? Not necessarily...It does however mean I'll suggest most other companies over Razer when the subject of mechanical keyboards comes up.

I just bought the 6G V2 from steelseries and it feels awesome gaming with it. So I recommend it too!
