Okay guys, about my budget first of all... I'm currently in the middle of saving money. I have around RM170 right now and above, and of course it is still growing. I'm just another typical Malaysian kid undergoing exams, saving money, you know... Then, planning on buying some gaming products after the exams during the holidays. One of the products that I prefer the most is Razer, of course. Based on my calculations, I think I'll be having around RM270 to RM300+ and above by the time. For now, the products I am aiming for are Razer Hammerhead Pro/Hammerhead and Razer Arctosa. These are the products that I find it the cheapest of all among the ones I like most. Just a newbie here looking for suggestions and opinions from the professionals. So, if you had any info to provide it will be very much appreciated and thank you.

By the way, I hope someone could also tell me the difference of Razer Hammerhead and Razer Hammerhead Pro. I want it sort of a Razer Hammerhead versus Razer Hammerhead Pro review of something similar, thank you very much!

One last thing to confirm, I heard that Razer Arctosa doesn't come with extra USB port... Is that true? If it is, then Razer Arctosa is really off from the list.

if budget concern/maximum budget.

hh vs hh pro , their major dif are the mic which pro package come with audio splitter for older version of laptop too .
imo , if u r looking for more performance , suggest you take the electra . price vs performance. anyhow , if u feel like gettin hh for maximum portability , go for it since ur smartphone will use phone as mic and ur headset as speaker same goes to laptop unless desktop .

for keyboard , yes arctosa dint come with usb prot , u cant get a usb-enabled keyboard with that price . even the blackwidow tournament edition . but the usb port is not the main concern , is not like u cant live without it , arctosa is the only choice for u with ur price range . what best for arctosa is the design/anti-ghosting/macro programmable but the bad things is , its abit flat aka chic-like , regular gamer would understand the keystroke feeling.

if im you , i would take HH(non pro) and arctosa . alternate choice , electra and arctosa  biggrin.gif

ohya , cm storm recently launch a new product which is devastator keyboard+mouse combo only at rm150
best thing is , alot multimedia keys with backligthing  drool.gif .

Alright, thank you very much for the suggestions and all. To talk about Razer Hammerhead, I actually find myself to prefer Razer Hammerhead Pro more. Maybe it's because of the mic functionality and portability cool.gif. About the keyboard and mouse combo, I find it amazing with such price. I think I will go for that for now and to be honest... I prefer keyboards with mechanical keys and back lighting actually because of the sound it makes when you type and of course, the lights patterns.

Hammerhead Pro comes with mic. If you don't use mic, take Hammerhead. Here's some of the keyboard list that I think is affordable :

Razer Arctosa = RM179
Roccat Arvo Compact = RM169
CM Storm Devastator Gaming Bundle = RM159 (Mouse + Keyboard)

But if you ever think of getting a mechanical keyboard, just in case you save a lot, these would be my recommendation :

Non-backlit:

Rosewill

RK-9000 (Mx Blue) = RM269
RK-9000BL (Mx Black) = RM269
RK-9000RE (Mx Red) = RM269
RK-9000BR (Mx Brown) = RM269

Razer BlackWidow Tornament Edition (Mx Blue) = RM279

Backlit:

CM Storm QuickFire TK Full Blue LED (Mx Blue) = RM299
CM Storm QuickFire Pro Partial Red LED (MX Black) = RM289
CM Storm QuickFire Pro Partial Red LED (MX Blue) = RM289

Call me crazy but who knows what you end up wanting  biggrin.gif

Yeah! What you suggested are all some pretty cool badass stuff. I like it really much. Plus, for your information. I saw Razer Arctosa selling for RM169 pretty much everywhere right now. As I mentioned earlier, I prefer mechanical keys and back lighting more for now. So, any more suggestions? And once again, thank you very much for the help.

He sell Arctosa at RM149 only. If you want more suggestion I'm afraid you have to make your budget a bit higher. Also, the price of the keyboard I state I only refer from Heavyarm. It may vary on the seller. Do more search and I believe you can get a better price.  biggrin.gif
