which logitech g keyboard you use and why?

[Molly_Millions]

Never had a problem with a wireless mouse doing this. However, the key is finding a wireless mouse that both wired and wireless. That way all you have to do is plug in a USB cable to charge and it will still work just like a wired mouse!

The trick is to find one as you describe. All of the wireless mice I've ever used had batteries you had to take out to charge or replace, and they would always die at the most inopportune times.

Buttons are nice, but when you have as many buttons as a Naga it's far to easy to press the wrong key because there are so many! lol

I agree, too many buttons on a mouse is more annoying than useful imo. One or two extra by the thumb and high dpi is all that's needed.

My Logitech G700 is that way and there are quite a few Razers that do the same! It's a good feature to look for in a wireless gaming mouse. Buttons are nice, but when you have as many buttons as a Naga it's far to easy to press the wrong key because there are so many! lol

However I am seriously thinking about getting a Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard or RAZER ORBWEAVER or RAZER NOSTROMO. That way I can push my gaming stuff to the side when I need to do some REAL work! lol

I love my Nostromo, but the only times I ever used it for XIV were for fishing, and that was only to reduce wrist pain. I talk too much in game to not have my keyboard right there at all times.

Then again, my keyboard tray is tiny, so I have to physically push my keyboard away to use the Nostromo. Might be better for people not using 20 year old kids sized Ikea computer desks.

I own a Logitech G700 and I can say that it is capable of charging the battery while using it through a micro USB cable. It uses a plain rechargable x1 AA NiMH battery. It has a battery level indicator on the side to show when it is getting low so that you can avoid those in game mishaps. I have had the mouse die on me during game time. But since it can be plugged in USB I only have 3-5sec downtime before I can use it again. Plug and Play USB works that quickly

The Razer has an equivalent mouse Orochi I believe. It also has a charge over USB cable. I however don't have any personal experience with this mouse. http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-orochi

Good for you~

I had (notice the past tense) a friend, who i recommended G13 for her needs, but she had troubles getting used to the new layout, coming from a traditional keyboard. She later returned it to the store. Which is kinda sad, since she was a tremendeously good healer, and that G13 might have made her even better and faster.

What i'm trying to say, is, if you have the chance, try them out first. Or make sure you can return it, if you're not happy with the product, whichever you pick. It's really a learning experience. I personally killed trash mobs 2 hours straight, until i started to feel comfortable and secure about it, and still had the occasional "waitwut?"-moment some days after.

That's where the Steelseries Merc excels, the layout is really natural feeling. It beats the hell out of the Logitech stuff.

Personally, I'm more than happy with my combo of Microsoft's sidewinder x4 + revoltec's fightmouse elite. Both wired, so no weird interference with my WLAN card (both of them work on the 2.4GHz band typically). Also, once you tried a mouse with ceramic feet... you won't be going back. Using this mouse for 2 months now and other mice just don't move as smooth. Got the keyboard about 2 years ago and it's not showing any signs of wear so far.

I stopped using logitech after they started making all the weird layout changes. Like the neat "let's combine scroll lock and print screen on one key" making taking screenshots in ffxiv impossible. Or the drivers blocking me to use the media keys in foobar2000, so that I either had macros or media keys working. Or, best example yet, changing locale to Japanese crashing the logitech drivers on boot. Logitech [no, thank you].

I didn't hear much good about Razer either, a friend of mine had the whole coating dissolve on him after half a year, it looks like someone went over it with sandpaper.. and it cost him like 120€

No. They are all abominations. Every new layout, gamepad and mouse that adds features, that are specifically targeted for gamers and alters the traditional button concepts, are personal learning experiences.

[Kalsic]

That's one of the worst looking keyboards I've ever seen, lol.

The Steelseries Merc, mentioned earlier, is hands down the best gaming keyboard I have used. Being able to change the action of every single key is very nice, and the gamepad layout is very comfortable.
