I wouldn’t even worry about it man. It’s a nice setup. I got this mouse and will eventually upgrade when I find a decent deal on a high end one.
Redragon M601 Wired Gaming Mouse, Ergonomic, Programmable 6 Buttons, 3200 DPI with Red LED Mouse for Windows PC Games - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HTK1NCS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZSkwCbC032RCP
Games: Osu (every day), Overwatch (Widowmaker Main), CS:GO, Fortnite
Hand Preference: Right-Handed or Ambidextrous (I'm left-handed, but I use mice with my right hand)
Budget: Less than $80
Hand Size: About 17-18 centimeters
Grip: Fingertip (I move the mouse with the tips of my thumb, ring finger and pinky mostly)
Weight: Medium-Heavy or Adjustable
Sensitivity: 800 DPI, 1000 Hz Refresh is the sensitivity of my current mouse
Additional Details: This is my current gaming mouse. The main problem I have with this mouse is that it's slippery so my grip falls off occasionally and on top of that, the chord causes the mouse to drift in its direction. Ideally, I'd like a bluetooth mouse so I don't have to deal with the chord, but if that makes the mouse of lesser quality, than I'll take any other mouse.

Had this since last year and it's one of the best mice I've own under 50$.
ok so i tried a different mouse with no side button and that seem to fix the problem.
https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-Gaming-Buttons-Ergonomic-CENTROPHORUS/dp/B00HTK1NCS
thats the mouse that i have, it works fine with the regular BF1 though, its weird
This is the mouse I use for overwatch. Had it for about 2 years now (I think) 3 sensativity settings weighted bottom 2 side buttons and a scroll wheel. For well under 20$ it probably has some flaws I'm not aware of but I've gotten tons of great usage put of it.
I have two very similar looking mice to that one. They're pretty great. Side buttons are squishy, and they are very light (easily fixed with a screwdriver + something heavy + glue). Great scrollwheel (better than MS or Logitech office-type mice) and good left + right buttons.
Not my favourite cheap gaming mouse (that is the red dragon, cause it's got adjustable weights, and really precise feel to the buttons with a good level of force and plastic texture. It's legit almost as nice as my Logitech G402).
Looking for a cheap decent quality mouse. Must be wired and would like a decent length cable(3ft probably absolute minimum). Ideally around $20 but I can be flexible if theres a big bump in quality above that price range(hard cap is probably 30-40)
Looking at this one. Is that good? Im honestly not a fan of additional buttons in general(always accidentally pressing one and having it bring me to previous page in browser) but plain ones that arent completely junk are so hard to find
https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-Gaming-Buttons-Ergonomic-CENTROPHORUS/dp/B00HTK1NCS
15 bucks, man. Works great. I own one as a backup to my logitech 502 Prometheus.
I honestly can't think of a better price-to-performance ratio mouse. After using it, I'd stick it in the $30-60 range.
This is the mouse I use. I had a previous one that's no longer sold that I personally prefer.
Might want to look into LED strips as well
Frankly, I highly recommend getting a cheapo gaming mouse more than anything. I did pretty well for a while with this one ($15.00): https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-Gaming-Buttons-Ergonomic-CENTROPHORUS/dp/B00HTK1NCS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1497238503&sr=8-3&keywords=gaming+mouse
If you're looking for something decent on a budget, I use this and like it pretty well: https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-Gaming-Buttons-Ergonomic-CENTROPHORUS/dp/B00HTK1NCS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1496242577&sr=8-3&keywords=gaming+mouse
I see a couple of negative reviews that say it isn't very durable, but I've had the same one for about 18 months and it works just like it did when I got it.
If you want a really good keyboard, watch r/buildapcsales for deals on mechanical keyboards. You can get them as cheap as $40 if you watch carefully. I really like the MX Cherry brown switches in mine.
After that, just look for a well-reviewed gaming mouse on amazon. I don't normally recommend things labeled "gaming" in general, but that way you're pretty well guaranteed to get something with adjustable DPI at least. I'd risk the first result in an amazon search myself.
Just noticed that it's dropped from $20 when I bought it, oh well. It goes nice with my red themed build and the ergonomics are great, at least compared to my previous mouse I bought for about $8.
I just use this. It's not anything special but it works and hasn't fallen apart or anything. I'm thinking about replacing it but only because I want something with some serious weight to it, and I haven't been able to find anything near what I want so for now I'm keeping it.
If you are going for an extreme budget gaming mouse I'd recommend taking a look at a Redragon M601 for ~$15. I've been using it for the past 6 months over my Wireless Logitech MX mouse as is seems like I get interference resulting in mouse lag living in a apartment surrounded by devices emitting similar wavelengths. (Routers, Microwaves, cell phones, etc.. something is destructively interfering with my wireless mouse! :'( )
I'm shocked how good the Redragon M601 works at that price!
I honestly think there are better off-brand mouses for the same price out there. It seems the selling point is the superfluous 7200 DPI.
This doesn't even have any software to program the mouse. Nor does it have any weight tuning.
Something like this would be better: https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-CENTROPHORUS-2000-Gaming-Buttons-Weight/dp/B00HTK1NCS/
^ It's at a normal price too, I think it's been $9 before.
alright... I was about to rage at you fine stranger, I hate when people show me their mouse and it has 15+ buttons... you dont need that at all, 2-3 buttons is fine like what mine is lol
This is my mouse.... I know I know it's probably bad :(
Right, with enough time and practice you will get used to stranger controls.. I tried putting jump on my mouse but i've literally used space to jump ever since I started playing games, so that's something that won't change
Anythig should do, if you don't need high performance, but try this one here, it's a good one.
> RedDragon
I assume you are referring to this I think it is save to say that it is durable enough given the amount of rating it has on amazon.
Been using one for a few years now. I really like it.
I've got this one that I still use attached to my work computer. It's actually a pretty decent and comfortable mouse. Still going strong a year later.
I just use the cheap thing. It's ugly as hell, but it is comfortable and the being able to adjust the sensitivity on the fly is nice.
I had this issue. Basically, with my generic dell mouse, if I turned 180 degrees using my mouse when moving it slowly, it would be precise. But if I try to flick at a fast speed, instead of flicking 180 it was more like 30....
It's not as bad as it sounds. It was very precise at moderate speed flicks, but anything too fast and it just wouldn't register. Does that sound similar?
I fixed it by getting a proper gaming mouse. Don't worry, I've got a cheap one if your budget isn't high. I've been using it for a while now, is definitely fixed my problem and is amazing in general.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Redragon-Centrophorus-Gaming-Mouse-Buttons/dp/B00HTK1NCS
Let me know if you figure it out.
Since you have a generic mouse, it's highly unlikely that you'll be able to change the polling rate, which is usually done through specialised drivers....
Also you could just try a different usb port
I got the Redragon M601 Centrophorus earlier this year and it works fairly well. However, I don't believe it has custom software that works with Mac, although most games I've tried will recognize the extra buttons straight out of the box. It has adjustable weights, two programmable buttons on the left side, a DPI adjuster button just below the scroll wheel (although you may be able to change it to act differently, not sure, haven't fiddled with that myself), and overall is a rather decent mouse for the price.
Redragon M601 CENTROPHORUS-2000 DPI Gaming Mouse for PC, 6 Buttons, Weight Tuning Set. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HTK1NCS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_N0D1xb94CTACP Try this. It's cheap but doesn't feel cheap. At least to me. Had this mouse for 2 years now. Don't really have a problem with it :)
I feel like RedDragon is really underrated. I use a Centrophorus and have been for about a year and a half (fairly heavy use, always 75-100 hours in the past 2 weeks) and it is amazing. $13 for an amazing mouse with two thumb buttons, a dpi switch, and a braided usb cable, perfect for claw grip. I really could not ask for more.
On the off chance that mine breaks, I will be ordering another one within 24 hours.
I use Zowie AM, but you are probably not interested in it, since it's an old model and like all Zowie mice, it cost $60.
What's "pretty cheap"? Is $30 okay? Because at $30 you can get something like G302, which is generally as good as mice get, at least for FPS games. As long as you can deal with its shape.
If that's too much, you can get https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HTK1NCS
Which is not that good, but still playable and decent enough for entry level.
Not sure how shipping costs work out to Australia but you can get a cheap, yet good quality mechanical keyboard from Monoprice for about 30-40 USD. They have genuine Cherry MX switches instead of the "custom" membrane switches that the Devastator keyboard features. Visit the sidebar of /r/mechanicalkeyboards if you want to learn more.
This is also a really good mice for the money.
If you don't want to waste a lot for a mouse I recommend this. It's cheap and great for it's price, Had it since 2015 and still using it to this day and won't change unless it breaks.
I don't use a wireless mouse. My mouse has shitty cables, so it randomly f*cks up. I use this mouse. https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-CENTROPHORUS-2000-Gaming-Buttons-Weight/dp/B00HTK1NCS/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1466613533&sr=1-3&keywords=redragon I should probably be getting a new one.
I bought this mouse for work. I think it's actually pretty nice for just working, but maybe I'm not picky.
Other than that, I just recently bought a Kone Pure Military for around $40 for gaming and I'm really digging it.
Good mouse isn't necessary, but a nicer mouse will feel nicer. I've never used it but this mouse is supposed to be good for the price.
I don't think you need to upgrade your CPU all too much, for gaming it should be pretty great. If you don't have an SSD, that's a decent upgrade you can make for cheap. Nice, 250gb SSDs will only cost you about £70.
Otherwise your setup is pretty solid right now. You can grab a GTX 970 used on the cheap in the next month or two.
First of all, reddit does reccomend your case, good job.
Change PSU to EVGA Supernova 550W to get a 10 year warranty for about 20 bucks extra, money well spent.
I wouldn't buy that mouse, it has no reviews. Spend another 10 bucks on http://www.amazon.com/Redragon-CENTROPHORUS-2000-Gaming-Buttons-Weight-Tuning/dp/B00HTK1NCS, it has very good reviews.
You could get this money by getting rid of the razer headset and using normal headphones and the microphone on your cell phone. Plus some razer products have bad reliability.
These changes will save you money over long run.
I just bought a red dragon centrophorus on amazon for $13. It has leds but is really well balanced. I have used it for about 20 hours of swtor and tf2 and it is much better and reactive than the Logitech ones I have traditionally used. I like that I can adjust and remove the weights in the bottom to balance it for me.

Just get something wired and possibly a higher dpi and lower sensitivity on CSGO. You may think the wireless isn't messing with your game, but once you get a proper mouse you will notice the difference. Here is the mouse I use. Nothing special, but it will be a nice upgrade for cheap.
Please don't. This company sells very low quality products. I got this mouse and it's terrible. It wiggles and the wheel doesn't work properly. Got this one instead and I think it's way better.
What's a good mouse under $15? Currently I'm looking at the Redragon m601. Is it good or do you guys have any better suggestions? I have a Microsoft wireless mouse right now.
The Mouse appears to be a Redragon Centrophorus. One of my friends has this mouse and it feels like it's worth more than $13. Light, but durable.
Yet another suggestion. Only $14 and has customizable buttons, you can change the DPI setting, and it has removable weights.
here is one of the most popular gaming mice on amazon and its red/black, for super cheap. I own one and its awesome.
There is a redragon mouse that costs around 13$ that is also very good... I have the mmo version (redragon perdition) which is more expensive but also very good.

Edit: added link
I'm really enjoying this mouse that is a really good price right now. My setup is red so I thought it might go with yours as well. Just a recommendation if you don't like your mouse.
I just recommended this to someone else as well but it seems really good and fits all of your guidelines. Redragon M601, it is normally $60 but is $14 on amazon, braided cable, 2 side buttons, #1 highest rated gaming mouse on the site. If you need anymore help let me know :)
I RMA'd a Death Adder because it suffered from a doubleclick issue when the buttons started to wear; Whenever I'd single click, a double click would register (you can actually google the issue, it's quite common). After each RMA it would work fine for about 2 months before the issue came back.
After the 3rd RMA, I said screw it and bought a Red Dragon M601 Razer copycat mouse for less than a third of a retail price of a Death Adder. Has been working perfectly for 6 mos. Never buying another Razor product.
Razor can't even get the issue fixed in 3 RMAs much less one and yet they're supposed to be the higher quality product? This Red Dragon Chinese knock-off has all the same functionality and has been more reliable than Razer.
well the keyboard is a good one, I'm using it right now, its mechanical and it feels great, the led is nice too. here is a link to a good mouse at a great price, also a #1 best seller on amazon. one last note, the keyboard I linked comes in blue, red, or green so if you want it to match, red is the way to go. I'm also assuming you are gaming with these. http://www.amazon.com/Redragon-M601-CENTROPHORUS-2000-Buttons-Switches/dp/B00HTK1NCS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8
http://www.amazon.com/Redragon-M601-CENTROPHORUS-2000-Buttons-Switches/dp/B00HTK1NCS/
Plenty of mice like this one on Amazon with generally favorable reviews (more so than one would expect from such a cheap mouse). Something to keep in mind if you don't find one here.
I have a logitech G302 and a G102. They are both great for CS:GO. G302 has a somewhat odd shape and is a little heavier than G102. So, G102 is your safest bet.
You can also try Redragon M601 CENTROPHORUS - Amazon Link
SteelSeries 62281 The Sims 4 Gaming Mouse (Amazon Link) is also an interesting option.
I have not used the reddragon or the steelseries ones, so can not say how good they are, but they look interesting and potentially good.
Very nice build overall, you've done your research.
>I'm debating on choosing between i5 6600k or i7 6700. Reasonable overclocking I've read can keep CPUs more current. I'm not sure how much impact hyperthreading will have for CPU heavy games. Plus I don't think my other uses are that CPU heavy.
A 4.5GHz+ OC on a 6600k will probably serve your needs better.
>Basically chosen the cheapest one.
That's totally fine.
>Plus some of the aesthetics on Z170 boards look quite nice.
You actually need the Z170 chipset to OC.
>I'm torn between the 500GB Samsung 850 EVO and the 960GB Sandisk Ultra II based on the Wirecutter. They said 500GB and higher SSD takes full advantage of parallelization. They also said anything below 250GB is a worse product. I'm also going to be sharing my 1TB external HDD with my laptop, so no need for another storage device yet. Price for storage is only going to get cheaper. Other SSDs can be recommended with reasoning.
You shouldn't need more than 500GB unless you hoard movies and do a lot of content creation. Get an 850 Evo, Samsung Magician has a RAM caching feature for Samsung SSDs which I find significantly boosts real world speeds.
> I might decide to go big on my GPU then.
You'll probably never need to upgrade from an RX480/GTX1060 at 1080P 60Hz.
>Case: The two cases I'm currently looking at is the NZXT Phantom 410 White and the Fractal Design R5. Something about that NZXT is futuristically sexy. But that Fractal Design R5 has quite the fan base here for a good reason. Plus I read that it's pretty quiet, too. (realized that was kinda punny). Other case recommendations are welcomed.
I'd recommend a non-windowed Define S, very silent case, easy to build in, etc... If you want something windowed, NZXT S340. The 410 is a bit big for what you're putting into it, and it can look at empty at times with a massive window and no custom watercooling/SLI setup.
>WiFi Adapter: I need WiFi since there is no Ethernet Port in my room. This looks like the best one for the price.
Look into getting a 75-200 ft ethernet cable from amazon for $15-30. If you can route it to your room with cable channels or a coaxial cable stapler, that'd be really good. I'm really against WiFi on a gaming PC, might just be me.
>Keyboard & Mouse: I chose this because it was cheap. I don't think I've ever tried mechanical keyboards so I'm not sure what I'm missing out. I also have a wired XBOX One controller. If there are any recommendations that can be met at or slightly above my budget please do.
Mechs are legitimately amazing, you can get a good quality Cherry MX switch keyboard from Monoprice for $30-50. Visit the sidebar of /r/mechanicalkeyboards for info.
Pretty nice mouse if you don't get the bundle.
Edit: Monitor choice is fine.
for like 17 dollars, maybe a redragon one?
Heres a good cheap mouse. Its about 10 euros. https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-Gaming-Buttons-Ergonomic-CENTROPHORUS/dp/B00HTK1NCS
The mouse i have costs about 58 euros.
I bought some Red Dragon 3200 DPI gaming mouse for like $15 that turned out to be great Amazon. Also there's a few dozen different types of mechanical (and mechanical-like) keyboards on Amazon for $20 or so that are just fine. Mediocre cheapo keyboard example
I buy cheap ones and just replace them frequently, though I've had better luck with the $15 no name mice than the $80 Logitech or Razer ones I've purchased. The only one I had that lasted an unusually long time and felt to be of an earnestly higher quality than the others was some 2lb aluminium Asus monstrosity.
I use this mouse
https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-Gaming-Buttons-Ergonomic-CENTROPHORUS/dp/B00HTK1NCS

Open to suggestions? I used to play with this Red Dragon; nice and light, comfy palm grip and there are DPI settings are from 800-3200. I've since gotten myself a Logitech G502 with even more DPI setting options and more button to use, though it also weighs and costs more. I got mine at Best Buy for $30 on sale, but I really like this mouse so I got another one for my brother.
This mouse is amazing for the price. You have to download X-Mouse button control, but that's free and insanely useful.
https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-Gaming-Buttons-Ergonomic-CENTROPHORUS/dp/B00HTK1NCS
My bad, its 800/3.25. Its the lowest setting on this mouse
This has more features like programmable buttons, adjustable weights, and a longer cable.
Its a Reddragon M601

If you are looking for something cheap this is the way to go. I really like it and it's only $14. Blew me away for the price.
Hey, I'd like to give some advice.
try increasing your FPS to 60. You will notice a big difference. There are costum configs which can help run the game better, but first try to lower all your ingame settings and see what that does.
go into the settings and look for head bobbing and disable this. Also lens flare, and dirt effects will only be there to block your vision and decrease your FPS.
in the video, you walk to an ammo box to get ammo. But you're skyhammer and you can give yourself ammo. So going to the ammo box on the map is a waste of your time.
speaking of ammo, http://i.imgur.com/lQtAtip.png You see that icon? that means that your teammates are low on ammo. You should give it to them, it gives a lot of XP. Throw it directly at them and try to hit them. They probably wont notice you giving ammo so they also probably wont pick it up. Everytime when you aren't really doing much, throw ammo to make use of that time where you're not fighting.
try not to ADS (aim down sight) as much on close to medium ranges.
when fighting someone, spam A D A D. This way your character will go left and right and left and right. This makes you a lot harder to hit.
never stop moving. never. I see you walk somewhere, and pause to think of what to do. When you stand still people can headshot you easily and kill you within a second.
if youre looking to play more fps games on laptop/PC, you should buy a gaming mouse and mousepad. It doesnt have to be an expensive mouse but just make sure you get something light and with a good sensor. Don't get fooled by mice with "extremely high 20.000 DPI!!!!!!". DPI doesnt mean shit and 400/800DPI is all you need. maybe something like this
try playing on a low sensitivity which will make you more accurate, but you will have to work harder for your big movements. Having a light mouse helps with these big movements.
personally I play on a sensitivity which is about 20-25 centimeters to make a 180 turn ingame.
more tips:
Dont spend your credits on anything yet. Save them up. After playing for a while and doing missions to earn credits, think which character you like most. Skyhammer, aura, proxy? Let's say you like skyhammer you can buy a bronze loadoutcard in the store. In the sidebar of this sub you can find a guide on which are the best cards to help you out. You can buy both first and second generation cards in the store.
dont buy cases unless you have spare credits to waste. Which I don't think you have as someone who just started playing ;)
Friend has this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HTK1NCS/ also have seen it around this sub quite a bit, yea it's really cheap and has the GAMER look but it seems to hold up pretty well. Just don't expect too much out of it.

The case is great, the motherboard is solid, the processor and video card are what I use and they've been absolutely fantastic, the KB is nothing special but it'll get the job done. Definitely worth looking into better keyboards if you're in to that.
I use this mouse and it's pretty great
https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-CENTROPHORUS-2000-Gaming-Buttons-Weight/dp/B00HTK1NCS
but I'm not sure if anyone sells it in the UK
edit: the motherboard comes with built in wifi which is okay, hard to set up though but not too bad. Ethernet is the way to go if you can
I've been browsing some really cheap gaming mice for myself, and haven't been able to decide on which one I should get. I play overwatch mostly, so can someone help me decide/suggest a mouse? (I've asked this before but I would like to get a few more opinions before I make a purchase)

As far as monitor goes, you can use an HD TV as one, and you can often find older LCDs at thrift stores, craigslist, or garage sales for not too much.
And for peripherals, you can get an acceptable mouse and keyboard for really cheap. Mouse, Keyboard
Here's a monitor as well Although I really would recommed getting it on the cheap.
Please note, I just looked these up on amazon and checked a few reviews. A little more research could possibly find a better option.
It happens with my red dragon And some random cheap mouse too
Well let me say a couple things first. I am not great at this game, you can see my profile here.
This is actually my first computer fps, I am used to a controller, so learning to WASD well has been something I have been working with also. I am also oldish (34) and I am missing a finger on my left hand. That said, I have climbed out of the 30s a couple of times, and here are my 'newbie' tips.
Get a mouse that feels comfortable. Because I am missing a finger on my left hand, a 5 button mouse works really well for me. I bind my specials to buttons 4 and 5 on the side. I use this one. It's quite cheap, but I was just buying inexpensive mice to see what worked for me and my hands, and when I started using this one I didn't stop. Also if you aren't using a large mouse pad, get one. Bigger mouse pad is much better for FPS because it lets you turn your sensitivity down more.
Next, look at where your hand and your elbow are when using the mouse. If your elbow is below your hand (arm tilts up), that is bad. It will make you 'aim from the wrist' when you really want to be aiming with the shoulder/arm. To fix this, get a taller chair or move your playing surface lower.
Lastly - this one 'pros' might disagree with IDK, but it will help you at your rank - don't try to 'aim' completely with the mouse. Just try to get close. Use STRAFE to adjust the crosshair left or right. If your cursor is a little low, use JUMP to line up the shot. You will be much more precise than trying to aim slightly left or right or up with the mouse, and as a bonus you also become much harder to hit.
Finally, a lot of people recommend this site to improve your aim. Personally, I'd rather practice by playing more overwatch, but you may want to give it a shot.
Probably a Redragon mouse or some other cheap mouse with a good sensor, and a decent basic keyboard.
I've not used it, but the Redragon mice have really good reviews on Amazon:
Not exactly high quality, but it's a budget mouse which seems decent enough, though i would not show it in public lol

A while ago I stopped buying expensive mice and got some cheap ones off Amazon and have been 100% happy with the decision.
Not tried it myself, but good reviews overall and dirt cheap.
You could check out this one if you cant afford it:
Its been rebranded by MSI as the MSI Interceptor DS B1:

Cheap as hell, favorite mouse I have owned.
I use the Red Dragon mouse and it's pretty fantastic. I also found a couple of cheaper mechanical keyboards, full mechanical LED, no LED waterproof, RGB membrane mechanical-like fullsize. The cheaper mechanicals are going to have knockoff cherry switches, but the reviews seem good.
You can get cheap chinese mice on Amazon. I have a few and they've been just as good as my old Razer mice, and I don't care if they break. I ordered them experimentally in 2014 and haven't had any problems.
By "cheap" I mean under $20.
I have this and I like it a lot. http://www.amazon.com/Redragon-CENTROPHORUS-2000-Gaming-Buttons-Weight-Tuning/dp/B00HTK1NCS/
This one is OK but the shape doesn't suit me so well. My wife has it in her studio now. http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Scroll-X1-Programmable-Switches/dp/B00F3L19KQ/
Oh look, a wireless mouse. Maybe I'll get it for the hell of it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XKP7P4Q
Hmm, interesting. Am I mistaken, or is this a wireless version of the Redragon Centrophorus? Maybe I'll get it, since that is the mouse I like so much. http://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-ZhiZhu%C2%AE-Wireless-Adjustable-Professional/dp/B00V34EX9Q/
I use this this one. Adjustable weight and sensitivity, programmable buttons, and it's not even 20 bucks
Before I found out about CSGO and got it, I wanted my pc setup to have a certain color scheme, black and red.
Mouse : Redragon M601 CENTROPHORUS-2000 DPI Gaming Mouse ; Cheap and I believe that it is worth the price, I'm not pro after all. (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00HTK1NCS/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Keyboard : Redragon Karura K502 USB Gaming Keyboard, fits the scheme. (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00LSGKEC4/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
http://www.amazon.com/Redragon-CENTROPHORUS-2000-Gaming-Buttons-Weight-Switches/dp/B00HTK1NCS
Has worked as well as any Razer I have used.

Its not the most high-end but I love it!
edit: linked wrong product
Not OP, but here you go: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HTK1NCS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_nRuPwbJNQ6209
i have started playing CS:GO and hence looking for a new mouse. i have ordered this. http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00HTK1NCS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Additional Question: 5. What peripheral/s should I buy? These are the ones I'm looking at...
Mouse: Redragon Centrophorus
Headphone: JVC HA-S500-B
The Redragon is $13.99 on Amazon
here you go
I would recommend this. Redragon M601, normally $60, but it's $14 on amazon. It has two extra buttons on the side, is wired, will work on any surface according to multiple buyer reviews, and it is the #1 highest rated gaming mouse on amazon. If you want to stick with Logitech, I would recommend to G502. Looks very impressive, has many programmable keys, weight tuning set, it is wired, but it is more expensive at $70. If you need more help just let me know :)
I put up with the problem for way longer than I should have.
Literally just got a new mouse yesterday (not because of this, just tired of the double click).

I love that this might be a new direction for MKBHD. I found his channel because of his Audio Technica ATH M50 review. Expanding to more simple/cheap tech products is great. I didn't watch any of Linus's videos like this but I already worry that MKBHD will be limiting himself with this format. He should review exceptional products that are a good value. Too many of his reviews lately have been inaccessible in price. This is a mistake because it bypasses a lot of his target audience young people. Young people now more than ever don't have a lot of money to spend.
Products I think should be reviewed
Budget mouse: I bought the Logitech MX master after the MKBHD review. I don't use it anymore I use the Redragon M601 because it is more responsive. It's a great value at nearly a tenth the price of the MX master and I didn't use the MX features all that much. The Redragon still has macros so I'm really not missing out on anything
Large Bluetooth speaker: Small Bluetooth speakers are very popular and you can find a good one easily since they're so limited in size and thus form. The real challenge comes when looking for a larger Bluetooth speaker with some real pressence and most importantly sound quality. I looked for one for a year. The sound quality on every large speaker is terrible. You get a ton of bass and a ton of treble. The middle is ignored by most speakers except for one. The original Harmon Kardon Onyx was the only speaker I could find with decent sound quality. The new ones all sound terrible. It's no longer on sale so if he found a new alternative that would be amazing.
Computer speakers: computer speakers are currently the best value speakers on the market. In college every other apartment has a pair of Klipsch speakers. They are a seriously good value. A nice runner up would be the Logitech Z200s. They are cheap, sound good for what they are and seriously good looking. If you go to r/battlestations you will find these used in at least one post a day
Monitors: I know very little about how to judge a good screen aside from vividness and black levels. MKBHD clearly knows a lot about what makes a great screen it would be nice to see reviews for a budget friendly bunch of screens. His monitor reviews in the past were great but not budget friendly. I think he could do the PC community a great service by educating us
I highly recommend this one. 4.5/5 stars, fantastic specs. It has 6 buttons and a weight tuning set, it is normally $60 - on sale on amazon for $14.
Wait what the fuck you're using the shitty little touch pad? You have a god damn gaming laptop you can afford a real fucking mouse! $14 on amazon and it's perfectly fine for playing smite! Holy shit man did you honestly think people were going to feel sorry for you because you're too lazy to go on amazon and buy a fucking mouse?
I am just discovering the world of Chinese brands. Hi-Fi sound, gaming peripherals, you name it. It's all a scam. Bose, Sennheiser, Corsair, Razer etc. put insane mark-ups on their product for a quality of materials, design, and overall product that is just as good for less than half the price. Check out Bluedio for audio products. I've just bought this. If the reviews for it are worth anything it should be pretty good.
EDIT: Plenty of downvotes but nobody saying why they disagree. Your all a bunch of brand snobs.
A Redragon mouse is a lot better, and only $12. I have one myself.
