Fucking hell, I had a whole response written out and my browser crashed.

Rewriting, but paraphrasing this time.

---------

The CoolerMaster Storm Spawn is often recommended for claw grip users. It's cheap at $37, has a great sensor, is made of good quality materials, and is quite light and small. This mouse is for high sens players, if that means much to ya, heh.

An alternative is the Zowie EC2 eVo, quite a bit more expensive, but it has a flawless sensor, really nice rubber on it that doesn't make your hand sweat, a really light cable, no drivers to much with, large mouse feet for dat glide - also comes with a spare pair of mouse feet, and the scroll wheel is quite "notchy"/heavy which is nice in FPS games but not so great when web browsing. But this mouse will set you back $64, so it's up to you.

Keyboards...

I would watch /r/buildapcsales for deals on CoolerMaster mechanical keyboards, the good prices on those are between $50-75. The CM keyboards use a lot of the same components as in one of the top mechanical kb brands, Filco. However, if you don't want to wait for a sale on that, then I suggest Filco's rival, Leopold, which is tied with Filco in best quality for mech kb's under $150 - and they don't have the "gamer" look to them like the CM keyboards. I'd go with Cherry Red switches (they are nice and light, great for gaming). The Leopold boards are built like tanks, they will last forever.

Hope that helps.

edit - Oops, I forgot mousepads.

Personally, I would go with something big and cheap. The SteelSeries Qck+ has served myself and many others very well. But if you don't want cloth, and want something smaller with a harder surface maybe take a look at the SteelSeries 9HD or if you are a true high-sens baller the SteelSeries Experience I-2 (glass mouse pad...too bad they only have pink ones on Amazon now, lol).

>Are "good" expensive headphones, like Sennheisers for getting loud sound? Because doesn't an amp make things loud? Are good headphones worth it if I'm going to be listening quietly?

Well louder isn't technically the right word even though amplifier have that effect.

See headphones drivers in the earcups are what actually produce the sound, and the quality of those drivers is what determines the quality of the sound.

Inside the drivers you have something called the voice coil. As current is pushed through the coil, it creates a magnetic field, which reacts with another magnet inside the driver and finally produces sound. Now to simplify a bit, the thinner the coil is and the less air between individual wires, the better sound you generally have. The design is much less prone to distortion and produces more natural bass. However as other have said, the gains can be pretty marginal.

Now having longer and thinner coil, means that for certain physics reasons I'm not going to go into here, you'll need to push more power into that coil in order to produce a loud sound. This is generally referred to as headphone impedance. The higher the impedance the more power the headphones need, impedance is measured in ohms. For some comparisons;

  • Apple earbuds (as well as most other earbuds) are around 32 ohms of impedance.
  • HyperX Cloud II's are around 60 ohms.
  • Sennheiser HD 600/650's are around 300 ohms.

    Personally I'd say that you'd want an amp at around 60-70 ohms, but that's just me.

    Now all of that aside, there are tons of great headphones out there that don't need an amp at all. Like the excellent Audio-Technica ATH-M50's or Sennheiser HD 598/599's.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    However for desktop use you don't really want to get an amp by itself, you want to get a Digital Analog Converter as well. See the actual sound setup in most PC's is less than ideal. It's really easy o cut costs with motherboard audio while still making it sound at least decent. If you slap an amp on that, all the distortions and crap that your motheboard audio produces is going to be amplified by your amp and will ultimately make your new high end headphones sound like shit.

    So you want a DAC. A DAC takes the digital signal from your PC, does some fancy techno magic on it and outputs an analog signal that can be fed to your headphones. This completely bypasses the horrendously bad soundcard on your motherboard and gives you a lot better audio.

    For a simple and pretty cheap entry level DAC/Amp check out the FiiO E10K. It's a nice little piece of gear that's going to be enough to drive almost anything up until 250 ohms. Obviously there are a lot better options out there as well. But the E10k is a great entry level device that'll improve your sound significantly. Pair that with some Sennheiser HD 599's and you're set for a long time.

I'd first like to start off by saying do some research on mechanical keyboards and see if you like the feeling, but for one of those you'll have to spend a bit more.

My keyboard. I love it. The macro keys are nice, but to be honest I mostly use them for browsing, and not in game. The backlit keys are aesthetically pleasing in my opinion. It's a solid keyboard, but it ultimately has a bunch of unnecessary stuff. A simple mechanical keyboard would work just as well if not better.

My mouse. This is the best mouse I've ever used. Both interchangeable grips are amazing feeling, the weight adjustment is nice, and best of all being able to change my DPI on the fly is amazing. Crank it up in BF3 when using slower moving cannons, lower it while sniping so I can be a bit more steady. If this one breaks, or just feels worn out I'll absolutely buy another. If you have anymore questions for me just ask.

u/Cromlech · 5 pointsr/pcgaming

Definitely go with the mouse unless your keyboard is malfunctioning. Gaming keyboards are useful to have sometimes but not essential like a decent gaming mouse. Just make sure that the mouse you buy works well with how you play, the type of grip you use, palm or claw/fingertip.

In short, you either palm the mouse with your entire hand, moving your arm to move the mouse, or you "claw" it, grabbing it with your finger tips and moving it just with your wrist. Knowing which grip you prefer and getting a mouse that fits it well goes a long way to eliminate wrist pain and fatigue.

Personally, I claw grip and use the CM Storm Spawn. Best mouse I've ever used for my style of play due to its small size and design. (So good I bought a second one for my laptop.) It goes up to 3500 DPI but IMO the 1800 DPI preset is perfect for most all games. If I need more precision I take it down to the 800 DPI preset and if I need more look speed (i.e. BF3 vehicles) I go up to the 3500 DPI preset.

Other good options are the G500 and the Deathadder , both of which many people swear by. They're better for palm grip IMO though due to their size.

TL;DR Go with the mouse and pick one that fits your hand and style of play well.

u/[deleted] · 3 pointsr/pcgaming

This I can help with my friend. I currently have the Logitech G700 wireless gaming mouse. I freaking LOVE it. It has 7 programmable macro buttons. But, it has three profiles. With each profile you can have the buttons programmed however you want. It has a visual DPI indicator which can be changed on the fly.

I currently us this as my keyboard because it was really cheap and was free with my desktop. I thought that I might have problems with it being a cheap piece of shit but I love it. It's simple, and it has really good key pressure for gaming. Also, on the top is good visual indicators if you have any locks on blah, blah, blah. I think my favorite part is the buttons along the top. I don't turn my computer off I put it to sleep when I'm not using it. The buttons on the top of the keyboard include: Sleep, Power, wake up, and Fn.

So ya, there ya go. I've only been PC gaming for about 8 months so this might be completely wrong but that's what I have. Happy gaming!

u/McDeely · 1 pointr/pcgaming

I've never been an audio guy, so I don't know what is good and what isn't, but I have found these to be way way better than I expected them to be for the price: http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-GameCom-780-Headset-Surround/dp/B00B1KJK22/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1450142585&sr=8-10&keywords=plantronics+headset

Pretty comfy too. Like I say though, I'm not an audio guy so someone else will probably be able to say if these are any good or not, or if there is a better headset in that price range.

u/mrturret · 1 pointr/pcgaming

If you don't want to totally break the bank I'd recommend one of these http://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-T-Flight-Hotas-Flight-Playstation-3/dp/B001CXYMFS It also works with a few PS3 games. Kind of a nice extra. I've had one for a while and it's a pretty nice stick. It's 50 bucks.

BTW I'd recommended Freespace 2 for any combat flight fan. It's a masterwork. Plus the game's engine is open source and fans have made major graphical enhancements to the game. It has a lengthy single player campaign and a bunch of mods. It also has one of the best tutorial systems I've ever seen, which is very important in a game with a huge number of key bindings. Don't worry about the first game. It's not as good and fans have ported it to freespace 2's engine.

u/FatS4cks · 9 pointsr/pcgaming

You can get a cheap usb condenser mic. Not ideal over a more expensive xlr mic setup (watch the video I linked at the end, it explains a lot there), but for just gaming it's better than pretty much any headset. If you don't have room on the desk, there's the Antlion Modmic. Overpriced for the sound quality imo, but it should still be better than most headsets. I'm not sure if the a40s have a detachable cable, but if they do you can also get the V-moda boompro. I've used mine for a few years before upgrading to the ATR2500, and it sounds almost as good as the standalone mic and I like the sound signature much more than the Antlion. The only downside being some hiss that the condenser doesn't have, and it needs power from one of the channels for the mic to work, so you need to adjust the center for the headphones. Ideally if you're just using voice chat in games and in programs like Teamspeak, Discord, Mumble or whatever, the most you should be spending is around $50.

Here's a video if you wanna take the plunge and get something more professional for voice overs some time in the future.

u/Zynismus · 3 pointsr/pcgaming

On-ear is also an option. Koss Porta Pro is cheap and has a lifelong guarantee, and then you could just stick an AntLion ModMic on it. Both run you just about under 100$.

Btw, a Blue Yeti is decent and also usually doesn't cost 100$.

I also wear glasses, and decent headphones aren't going to be uncomfortable, they just cost more. It's an investment, but if you want something cheaper and portable I think the Koss are very decent.

ModMic: https://www.amazon.com/Antlion-Audio-ModMic-Attachable-Microphone/dp/B00R98JVVU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1525683488&sr=8-4&keywords=AntLion+ModMic

Koss Porta Pro: https://www.amazon.com/Koss-Porta-Pro-Headphones-Silver/dp/B00001P4ZH/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1525683534&sr=1-3&keywords=koss+portapro

Some other recommendations:

SoundMagic E10: https://www.amazon.com/SoundMAGIC-Noise-Isolating-Earphones-Gunmetal/dp/B005HP3OB0/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1525683563&sr=1-3&keywords=SoundMagic+E10

These will actually sound amazing depending on the hardware you run them on. The better the source, the better they sound. They can sound as good, if not better, than In-Ears that cost double as much! They're rather neutral.

Yeti Blue Snowball: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Snowball-Condenser-Microphone-Cardioid/dp/B014PYGTUQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1525683616&sr=1-3&keywords=Yeti+Snowball

(Actually only 50$ right now)

u/furuta · 1 pointr/pcgaming

I buy logitech mice pretty consistently. I currently use this, which is the best mouse I have ever owned, though it is more expensive.

For a cheaper option, I used the same MX 510 for over 5+ years before I got my current one and love it. It's cheap, has customizable buttons and is incredibly reliable. Hope that helps!

u/elichondo · 3 pointsr/pcgaming

> My folks doesnt want me punching holes in their newly built house.

If you get AT&T and they have to bring a new line inside the house, they'll have to drill whatever holes they need AND you would need to run an Ethernet cable from the AT&T modem into the attic, and then into the wall into your room and you'd have to cut a hole into the wall and patch the cable in, well if you want ethernet. I had to do something similar for a friend's apartment and put one of these in the wall: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F15CKQQ/

OR you can buy some powerline adapters and see if that works to bring internet to your room. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Powerline-Adapter-Starter-TL-PA2010KIT/dp/B00AWRUIY4/

Running ethernet cables in the attic is much easier in a 1 story house, you just have to watch your footing and only step on the rafters, otherwise you'll fall through the ceiling. If you're in a 2 story house then good luck, not happening.


Powerline adapters are probably your best bet.

u/Manly_Shit · 1 pointr/pcgaming

I have a Steam Link and didn't get good performance over wifi, so I picked up some powerline adapters and they work great. I never dip below 60fps anymore. Honestly it's like playing the game straight on the computer. I don't notice any lag.

u/Tralion · 1 pointr/pcgaming

if $40 isn't too much for you, i strongly recommend the Logitech G602. It's my absolute favorite mouse and I wouldn't switch for any other mouse

And the best part is there isn't a cord to get in the way

u/Viceroi93 · 1 pointr/pcgaming

Yeah I ended up getting the Bose QC35ii and a Blue Yeti. I was intrigued by the Astro’s mix amp tho and how it could improve audio quality. It’s $170 cad for the pro mix amp but I saw something similar on amazon for $89 https://www.amazon.ca/FiiO-Olympus-Headphone-Amplifier-Black/dp/B00LP3AMC2/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1543183124&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=dac&dpPl=1&dpID=41Taa5DTsKL&ref=plSrch
I just wonder how much it will improve the quality and if it’s worth it

u/Hkatsupreme · 1 pointr/pcgaming

Hi all. New to this sub. So I have an XPS 8700 (please don't make fun of me) and these items are being shipped to me: ASUS Monitor and a 1050 Ti graphics card Im assuming the monitor is fairly easy to hook up, but what about the graphics card. Anything I need to take care of before I open the computer? Thank you@

u/daxtron2 · 1 pointr/pcgaming

I like my Logitech G9X. Easy sensitivity. Can change the scroll settings. Comes with additional weights and has this thing you can put over it to make it wider. I love it

u/shiftkey101 · 3 pointsr/pcgaming

I've had the g700 from logitech for the past few years. It has a dpi indicator, as well as a battery indicator. It's by far the best mouse i've used personally. They currently have the g700 and the g700s which has a better sensor I believe. It works wireless or wired.

u/EverGlow89 · 5 pointsr/pcgaming

I got this one

I learned about it when I was planning my PC and looking for ways around having to use wifi. thought it was too good to be true. It isn't.

u/BPeretzel · 1 pointr/pcgaming

I've had the Logitech G700 for a while now and I love it. It appears that its successor, the G700s, is available for $70 on Amazon right now.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058UUR6E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

but in monitor terms I guess they'd be considered old. Does the job though and the colors are great

u/capn_hector · 3 pointsr/pcgaming

FreeSync is worth every penny it costs - from the flickering problem that is pervasive across brands and models, to the laughable 10-hz sync range on some panels, to the lack of LFC support on most of the models.

Shockingly, it does not cost money to slap a label on a box like AMD is doing. It does cost money to get quality hardware that supports a good user experience.

u/shinigamibob · 1 pointr/pcgaming

If you set your options like this in DS3 tool it should work.

If you use Better DS3 tool (which is mentioned in that post you linked), if you create a new profile and select the XInput option, then autofill for Xbox 360 controls, it should work.

I use a random Asus BT adapter I bought for a couple bucks. I think its this model.

u/SpiveyArms · 1 pointr/pcgaming

Ok so this is the monitor


https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YD3DBOC/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1



It says it has the AMD freesync, but I have the 1070. So am I out of luck or would that work?

u/sniper_fox · 1 pointr/pcgaming

My advice is to buy some inexpensive audiophile headphones ($100) or mid-range audiophile headphones ($150) and a decent clip on mic ($55) (a less expensive alternative ($30)).

For around the same price as a overpriced gaming headsets ($200), you'll get all the comfort, durability, and audio quality of nice headphones, plus you can chat with buddies while gaming! Plus, you can actually use them for music and stuff besides gaming.

u/Cerealkillr95 · 1 pointr/pcgaming

I'm currently looking at getting an Asus VS248H-P. It's got great reviews and is a decent price.

u/a1blank · 2 pointsr/pcgaming

The mouse OP linked to is $20, the G700s is listed at $70. Totally worth it, though. And if OP can tolerate wired, the G500s is another good option at $50.

u/k5josh · 2 pointsr/pcgaming

I have pretty big hands and use a logitech g500. It's definitely my favorite mouse ever. The g500s (link) is almost identical but half the price.

u/Manaaniwanderer · 3 pointsr/pcgaming

Been using the Plantronics 780 for about six months now, no complaints. 5.1 sound. Comfortable, sounds great.

u/pandapanda730 · 1 pointr/pcgaming

Do you need them to be on the headset itself? If you do, I'd suggest you look at the Astro a40.

If having the headphones and mic separate don't bother you, get sennheiser 558's and a proper DAC like this one with a separate mic.

u/vorin · 1 pointr/pcgaming

I've had two mx518s, and one of them was replaced by my G9x. I use the G9x at home and the mx518 at work. It's not the same feeling, but I do like it a lot.

u/danhm · 0 pointsr/pcgaming

Wifi? Yuck. Run a wire if you can or use HomePlug to convert your electrical outlets to ethernet cables.

Even the best, latest-and-greatest wifi will drop.

u/acondie13 · 3 pointsr/pcgaming

most of the time yes. to give an example, look at titanfall 2's store page. There's a thing that says DRM: origin which means that the game will come with a code that you activate on origin and can essentially toss the discs. the discs will just save some time downloading and then be useless after that. whatever DRM form the amazon page shows will be where you activate the key (if at all). For some games they don't have a DRM listing and you'll have to look online to find out if it includes a code but as a general rule they list it.

u/Kalivos · 5 pointsr/pcgaming

If you are dead set on a headset rather than going for a pair of headphones and a microphone, I would recommend the Plantronics GameCom 780 Headset. They should last you quite some time and are very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.

u/murphs33 · 2 pointsr/pcgaming

I have an an ASUS Bluetooth adapter similar to this one (I think it's the same one). And nope, no lag.

u/milkonym · 6 pointsr/pcgaming

Yes it is.
Amazon Link

Usually when a game offers early access with pre-orders, I pre-order on Amazon and then cancel as soon as I get the beta key. That way you get to try it out but you're not locked in to buying it.

It's also $22.32 for a boxed copy exclusively for Amazon Prime members.

I'd argue that these would work better because these include the thrust controls and aren't much more expensive.

Less than half the price, more buttons, and won't fall apart within a year.

$20 at Amazon

Edit: If you switch to "Buy new' and back to "Buy digital" it should let you purchase it. Not sure what happened there.

u/ROKITF1NGR · 3 pointsr/pcgaming

G500s is the updated model, half the price too.

Also for OP, I got the G400 a couple years ago and have had no complaints other than I wish it had a braided cable.

u/Pufflekun · 0 pointsr/pcgaming

Zowies for palm grip, CM Storm Spawn for claw or fingertip grip.

(Don't get the black one, it's a cheaper model with an inferior sensor.)

u/IndigoMoss · 1 pointr/pcgaming

Well I have a solution for you. Due to the way I've used my PC for the past 7 years, I absolutely needed a wireless mouse (HTPC setup). I started off with the G7, which had the hot-swappable battery setup. Unfortunately, it had a lot of the other issues. Moved on to the Razer Mamba, what an inconvenient piece of shit that was. Now I have the Logitech G700.

The Logitech G700 uses a standard microUSB charger, so the same charger that will charge your phone will charge the mouse. On top of that, it uses a standard AA Enloop 2500 MaH battery, so you can buy extra ones and charge them and swap them out on the fly.

Here's my suggestion:
