What do you use for a keyboard and mouse?

I’m looking for a new keyboard and mouse…a typing focus rather than gaming. I am thinking about the Logitech G213 keyboard and either the MX Mouse 3 or the MX518.

what do you use? is it more for gaming or typing? what made you choose those particulars?


I use a Ducky one 2 and a model 0. I chose the ducky one 2 purely for the sound and build quality as it makes blues sound nicer than most boards. I really like blues for typing not the best for gaming but keyborad for me don’t matter as much for gaming. I use my tenkey a lot so I couldnt really love it for a TKL keyboard either. I have the model O because at the time when I bought it was the lightest mouse available. and the shape was similar to a mouse I used to use and really enjoy the benq FK . it uses a top sensor and is very good for tracking and flicks.

Laptop keyboards, mostly. Well they are attached to the device.
External basic HP mouse and Logitech ball mouse. Well they where laying around.

Razer Basilisk and Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L nVidia Edition with Cherry MX red switches(it was the cheapest with cherry mx switches lol), also the most basic looking.

Main Rig: HyperX Alloy & Logitech G502
Secondary: Cherry KC4000 & Logitech G402

I have a CoolerMaster Novatouch with the Topre hybrids. I also had a Ducky One Mini with Reds that I liked for gaming, but it annoyed me to switch back and forth.
My mouse is the Logitech G Pro wired.

I am slightly dated with my keyboard setup.
Das Keyboard S Pro, I want to get a new keyboard, but I don’t need one.

I settled on an Microsoft IntelliMouse Dark Shadow, after trying several mice based on size and grip style. Replaced an age-defying Microsoft X8.

I have several mechanical keyboards (a bit like headphones i search for the perfect typing/gaming experience :stuck_out_tongue: ).

Currently i use cherry MX blue based keyboards on both my “office at home” and my gaming computer. I prefer the tactile feedback of the blue when i type, also i prefer a bit heavier switches compared to i.e. MX red (that seems to be mostly prefered by gamers). MX brown and black are both ok too, and often they are a bit quieter, but they lack the sharper feedback when you type that i prefer. The one i am typing on now is a Corsair K70.

As for mice, i use a wireless corsair Harpoon on this “office at home” computer (works very well, and the form factor suits my grip, but i can see some complaining that it is a bit small, especially if you use a “palm” grip compared to the “claw” grip i use). On my gaming pc i also use a wireless mouse, a Logitech G403. That one also works great for me. The reason for having different kinds is that both are bought on sale about 6 months apart, so i didn’t have the choice of getting 2 of the same (wireless mouse classified as “gaming” mouse and with good response/accuracy while wireless, usually are pretty expensive).

Of the two i think i might prefer the Corsair, and the software to tweak dpi and “rgb effects” i definitely prefer the Corsair one. They are quite different in form factor, but both work for me, so i guess one should try before buying to see which suits you best.

I have a Corsair K70 Lux with Cherry MX Brown switches, really nice keyboard though it does require more cleaning than I care for due to the high keycaps.
For a mouse I’m using the Steelseries Rival 100. I wouldn’t really recommend it since the skin-like top layer started to come loose way to soon.

If you really want a typing keyboard, my recommendation is a Topre Realforce. They aren’t cheap, but personally I think they are the best off-the-shelf typing keyboard you can readily obtain. I use a uniformly weighted one at home, and a variable / ergonomically weighted model at the office. If you are into modding / customising, they’re definitely not as versatile as Cherry-based keyboards, but with perseverance you can make them look so nice!

Here’s a friend’s customised Realforce R1. Note: R2 is the current line-up.

I use a Havit keyboard. I chose it, because it is mechanical switches, but has a lower profile. I do not have any complaints.

I use my hands and fingers for my keyboard and mouse.
