You all with gaming mouse/keyboard, can you explain, why, why is it good. Sure it looks cool, but why is it so great. I see no point to have keyboard that tracks the key pressed in 0.0009 seconds, and normal keyboard in 0.009 seconds.
If you used a gaming mouse or keyboard, I think you'd understand.
For gaming mice, it's not about the input delay, it's tracking quality. With a gaming mouse, you can have a 360 in 5cm without losing the ability to track smoothly.
Using a non-gaming mouse requires you to either lower your sensitivity to the point where you can't check your angles or raise it to the point where you have to tripwire aim, which is slower than snap-track.
It also helps that I can shoot, jump, aim, heal, reload, secondary fire, and tertiary fire all with my mouse.
As for gaming keyboards, it's all about the anti-ghosting and the feedback. I have a G15, and the keypresses are
solid. There's nice feedback, I know when each key is pressed, the keys don't giggle. It's overall a good typing experience.
As for the anti-ghosting aspect, I guess this is just more necessary for my control style, as it is rather odd. Before I got a gaming keyboard, I couldn't crouch-walk backwards and to the right while still holding shift to regain stamina. It sounds pretty specific, but it was annoying enough that I chose to use some disposable income on it.
I will admit, the gaming keyboard wasn't quite worth the cash, but the mouse is worth it all of the way.
