$170? I've never understood why people need to spend that much on a keyboard/mouse. Don't get me wrong, I love nice computer equipment, and considering it's the hardware you are physically interacting with to control your computer, it better be nice. But a $30 apple keyboard and a $15 Razor mouse (both on sale) is absolutely perfect for me.
Not gonna comment on the apple keyboard...
Razor products break fast
I bought a CoolerMaster QuickFirePro Cherry MX Reds and a R.A.T.5 Mouse
Both are gonna last me Atleast five years, The keyboard i expect to last 10, Things built So tough, Its almost like your supposed to hit it with your fists and toss it
Why? That Apple keyboard (the wired one with the numpad, I can stand the wireless ones) is pretty decent. I like the low profile not found in too many other keyboards. It's taken a lot of abuse, and is even slightly bent (damn little brothers), but works great after 4 years now. The Razor is very comfortable, has been going for about 3 years now, and is solid as well.
Granted I'v never used a R.A.T.5, but they've always seemed overengineered, and overpriced. What makes it worth 5x the cost of my Razor? Will my games be any less fun if I don't?
