In preparation for inevitable exclusive Pokemon and Zelda. Currently I only have Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance and Tales of the Abyss though

lol yea Foede wtf, that did not look huge to me at all, in fact it seemed downright HTPC, microATX size to me.

@ Kaze; mechanical keyboards are so meh. May I know why you changed to the white keys though???

I wanted a blank set of keys. I already had blank black keys on my das and I kind of liked the few white on black examples I saw on geekhack/ocn. I also could checker my keyboard later if i wanted to I suppose haha.



Though it might be too much.

Build quality is great on both boards. They both have different switches (blue on das, red on my filco.) so they both feel different to type on. I like the tenkeyless form factor because it's more ergonomic. I can have my keyboard/mouse a lot more centered with my body. As far as the switches go..the reds feel a lot more fluid and smooth to type on vs the blues and prefer them for almost every game except for starcraft 2.

That's a nice monitor. Even has a nice stand so you can rotate it to portrait if you need to which is a big plus. Lot cheaper than what I paid for my u2412m's (although 1920x1200 and an inch bigger could explain that)

Dell U2412M? Well currently I looking to buy myself a new monitor too to replace my current 1600 x 900 monitor and I looking forward to Dell.

Just this three caught my eye.

Dell Professional P2412H
Dell U2410
Dell U2412M

Just which one is better anyway?? I looking for the gaming one.

While that Yamakasi 27" monitor does appear to be able to ship to my country through ebay purchase, I not sure if I wanted a 2560 x 1440 resolution.

[K a z e]

None of them are really for gaming but will run games fine.

The professional model looks like a u2412m non-ips model and only is only 1080 vs 1200.

The u2410 is the most expensive one becasue its true 8bit IPS. The u2412 is the "economy" version as it doesn't have all the features of the u2410 but has LED backlight vs CCFL. The u2412m is also only a 6bit IPS panel.

Decided to get 7850 as 4870 was too weak to run GW2 decently , even though it did run D2/CS:GO on high without issues.

Spilled juice on my cheap crap keyboard yesterday and now it's all sticky.
So figured it was a sign to gear up.
While i was at it i ordered the mouse as well since mine has started to act up.
It's been faithful to me for about 6 years almost haha but now it's acting up.
Can finally play DotA effectively with these babys!

Razer Imperator 2012 mouse and Steelseries Merc Stealth keyboard

Are these gaming keyboard/mouse really worth the extra price they have? I mean, they sure look pretty sweet, but do you really notice any difference playing when compared with normal stuff?

Mice are better. More accurate, and you can have extra buttons.

Keyboard, not so much. Some MMOs may need the extra buttons for macros, but other than that, it's just a convenience feature.

Mechanical keyboards are pretty nice for writing and stuff, I like the feel much more than a high-quality membrane keyboard like Logitech K800. Some nice features include backlit keyboards, usb hubs, some even have extra screens. Other keyboards have onboard memory to keep your settings the same on every computer.

But really, when it comes to a keyboard, "better" keyboard just brings convenience. With mouse, you can also get some performance.

First of all, again i don't have these yet.
I have had better and worse keyboards and mice's.
When it comes to keyboard it really is a big difference.
The one i have now i can barely play with, and its a cheap keyboard.
I have trouble using it in DotA for example.
When i had a gaming keyboard it did make a difference.
It's more responsive, so yeah this one happens to be flashy as well, but it wasn't all that expensive.
I've read reviews, and a friend have it as well.

When it comes to razer there isn't really a question about it, they make great stuff.
At least in my opinion.
I've never had a problem with a razer product, although some do somehow.
I've had a Razer Diamond 3G for about 5 years.
It just recently started acting up (not responding when i click so i haven't been playing DotA lately or.. anything really).
again, this wasn't all that expensive either.
Just because its "flashy" or labled Razer or Steelseries doesn't mean it's expensive or crap.
It's all worth the money from my own experiences anyways.
But then again, it's all a matter of opinion.
