This sub-forum is quite dead..so i came up with this.. no spam please

I hope all players can share their experiance .

Let me share my lousy gaming gear

Mouse:Cheap A4tech mouse
Keyboard:Logitech Deluxe Keyboard
Headset:Somic SM-890
Mousepad:I DUN HAVE one ROFLCOPTER!

Keyboard

A good keyboard allows you to control your body movement very well depending on the keys. Some keyboard have various weight on keys but I say you need no saitek. Just get a comfortable one, especially the wsad.Personally suggest Dell or Logitech.

I feel that putting the keyboard in a slanted way allows me to have a better body control . Dunno how ya all feel.

Mouse

What could be more important than a mouse? Since cs is a precision dependant game , any mistake could get you killed in the game. To perform a decent shooting , a 800 Dpi mouse should be able to do the job. With today's technology, we have mouse ranged from 400 dpi- 2500 Dpi, and laser mouse lately. I would not say much about mouse but you can refer to this site for the gaming mouse comparison.

Mousepad

Today we look at mousepads; an often overlooked part of a gamer's setup. Go ahead, run your brand new Razer Diamondback or Logitech G5 over that rough wooden desk or dirty old card table. Mousepads have come a long way from the floppy cloth-covered pads that came with your parent's old Hewlett Packard, and believe it or not, they have a big impact on the gaming experience. Getting used to your mousepad can maintain your skill during competition as you will be surfing on the same surface.

There are 4 types of mousepad currently in use for gaming purpose:
1. Clothpad
2. Plasticpad
3. Hardsurfacepad
4. Hybridpad , combination of clothpad and plasticpad

A good mousepad should have:

1. Small friction
2. Smooth surface
3. Large dimension
4. Supplied with mad dotz
5. Good grip with the mouse and table

Alternatively, some may like hard surface mousepad but it can be hard to carry around in lanparty or competitions. Soft surface mousepad is foldable but the performance is not as adorable as hard surface mousepad to certain people.

Headset

Headset can be categorized into light, noise canceling,bass emphasized and etc. For Cs, I would choose between light and packed headphone . It provides comfortable gaming experience for long term of gaming and precise sound in cs without getting disturbed by the environmental noise. Secondly, the headphone should come with high treble sound , provides high clarity of sound to our ears.

The two most desired headset in the industry

Mousepad : Xtrac Ripper
