Cheapest anti ghosting Keyboard that i know is the Everglide Keyboard about RM 99...

as for mouse i suggest u check out the razer mouse Guide http://www2.razerzone.com/MouseGuide/index.html to see what kinda mouse grip u have...

I personally think for mouses i consider this few factors

1.Comfort: your going to be gaming alot so why get a mouse that hurts ur hand
2.Durability:Gamers abuse thier gear enuf said
3.Extra macros: having the Knife button on my mouse 5 is just so so sweet
4.Looks: sexy looking mouse whats not to like wink.gif

If ur a grip gamer and ur right handed Razer Death adder is the way to go...but if u have some money to shelll out get the SteelSeriers Ikari... alot of gamers swear by it....

IF ur not sure your claw or grip....get the Logitech G5 also one great mouse for general usage and gaming....

On a low budget the MX518 v2 is the way to go.......

OR if ur feeling old skul The Microsoft Inteli 3.0 is a legendary FPS mouse

I where got rich... All biasa only... Lizra punya more imba... got his superlegend Barracuda bag!!! LOLOLOLOL.

Intellimouse is for low sensi player IMO. Ikari Optical also, because the DPI is low. If wanna high then Lachesis? But all will goes back to Holyboy's 1337zor guide.

I really don't suggest you play on such high sens if you're a Sniper. Lower sensitivity makes your aiming more precise.

I play on 1.5 in-game, 400CPI and 6 on Windows.

It's pretty low so you might want to increase it a little.

And I love my Ikari and I'm using a Mantis Speed.

I googled before I read the rest of the thread. =(

Isn't CoD4's stock sensitivity like 5? Anyway, I haven't seen a sniper play at that high sensitivity before and now I'm kind of curious. Maybe you can give flaver some pointers. It'll be such a treat. =D

1st of all... i dont think theres any EQ design for "sniper" =/


my only suggestion for you is to get an optical instead of laser... since ur on kinda high sens



other than that...what mouse/what keyboard, that you gotta try it urself... its good for sumone doesnt mean it suits you. Test the mouse from your friends & teamates if possible... and of cos... always think of reliability/consistency of the item before the performance. My 2 cents

For a sniper, i suggest a mouse that has some weight on it.

Try the Microsoft Intelli 3.0. With the right mouse pad, you'd generally get the grip you want on the surface for precision. The weight will keep your hand pretty much steady. The weight is standard however, but its pretty cheap. Very hardy and durable, unlike their OS. Palm Grip.

user posted image
should be approx RM130 or less.


Logitech G5 would be a step higher than the MS intelli 3.0, simply because it has adjustable weights. If weight is an issue to you, you might want to try it out. Weightier mouses tend to take more time to get used to. The G5 is a laser mouse, so tentatively its good, but doesn't last very long (same goes to any laser mouse). Palm Grip. See also : counter parts Logitech MX518

user posted image
should be approx RM200 or less


Razer Death Adder/Microsoft Razer Habu are pretty much the same, just that that the Death Adder is optical, the habu is laser. From personal experience, i found the habu much better with the DPI changer and the grip being a little more comfortable, but it broke just as fast. The only problem with the Death Adder is that is doesn't have on the fly DPI adjustments like the Habu. (DPI swapping during play). The Habu was a hybrid design from the previous Microsoft Intelli designs matched with the Death Adder designs.

user posted image
should be approx RM160(DA) or RM 190(Habu) less.

SteelSeries Ikari Optical/Laser both share same designs. The main difference between the two aside from the obvious laser/optical is its lift distance and skipping. See here For more info
The Ikari is a mix between the claw and the grip, leaning more towards the claw design. It may be uncomfortable at first due to its awkward design.

user posted image
Approx RM150-200 (distributor over retail)

Logitech & Microsoft

These mice were generally made for other purposes other than gaming. Newer designs lean more towards semi-professional to competitive gamers with their dpi's much higher than their older designs. I recommend Microsoft Intelli for its weight, durability and cost over value ratio. its cheap, hardy and very usuble in competitions. (Palm Grip)

SteelSeries & Razer

Both SteelSeries and Razer are gaming brands. Generally, the designs made were meant for gamers and gaming. Most of these mouses lean toward the Claw grip or hybrid (palm + claw). Razer Mice are usually light weight, palm over claw designs where as the Ikari is a claw over palm design. (Meaning leans more towards that particular grip)

Both the Ikari & Razer mice suffer from durability issues, generally in their buttons and lasers, but their functions suit most gamers perfectly.

I've pretty much used all of the above before, currently im stuck with my Razer ProSolutions PRO V1.6 (Krait With WINGS). Approx RM140 - 160 now. Im a hybrid claw + palm grip, since i swap between the two. (uber USP Spam) Generally, its only real problem is the button placement (mouse4 & 5 are on the same button), scrolling mechanism(over used becomes extremely smooth) and no DPI changer. Main reason why i loved the HABU once i got it (Basically the design was superior to the krait/v1.6, but its broken now sad.gif ).

If you need to know prices for gaming EQ, just let [ESP].Bambino.aXe (Calvin) know, he works for a distributor.

From personal experience, i found the habu much better with the DPI changer and the grip being a little more comfortable, but it broke just as fast. The only problem with the Death Adder is that is doesn't have on the fly DPI adjustments like the Habu. (DPI swapping during play). The Habu was a hybrid design from the previous Microsoft Intelli designs matched with the Death Adder designs.

should be approx RM160(DA) or RM 190(Habu) less.

SteelSeries Ikari Optical/Laser both share same designs. The main difference between the two aside from the obvious laser/optical is its lift distance and skipping. See here For more info
The Ikari is a mix between the claw and the grip, leaning more towards the claw design. It may be uncomfortable at first due to its awkward design.

Approx RM150-200 (distributor over retail)

Logitech & Microsoft

These mice were generally made for other purposes other than gaming. Newer designs lean more towards semi-professional to competitive gamers with their dpi's much higher than their older designs. I recommend Microsoft Intelli for its weight, durability and cost over value ratio. its cheap, hardy and very usuble in competitions. (Palm Grip)

SteelSeries & Razer

Both SteelSeries and Razer are gaming brands. Generally, the designs made were meant for gamers and gaming. Most of these mouses lean toward the Claw grip or hybrid (palm + claw). Razer Mice are usually light weight, palm over claw designs where as the Ikari is a claw over palm design. (Meaning leans more towards that particular grip)

Both the Ikari & Razer mice suffer from durability issues, generally in their buttons and lasers, but their functions suit most gamers perfectly.

I've pretty much used all of the above before, currently im stuck with my Razer ProSolutions PRO V1.6 (Krait With WINGS). Approx RM140 - 160 now. Im a hybrid claw + palm grip, since i swap between the two. (uber USP Spam) Generally, its only real problem is the button placement (mouse4 & 5 are on the same button), scrolling mechanism(over used becomes extremely smooth) and no DPI changer. Main reason why i loved the HABU once i got it (Basically the design was superior to the krait/v1.6, but its broken now sad.gif ).

If you need to know prices for gaming EQ, just let [ESP].Bambino.aXe (Calvin) know, he works for a distributor.

sorry for resurrecting this thread, but i have a similar question regarding anti-ghosting. i'm not sure i completely understand the necessity of an anti-ghosting keyboard, as most ps/2 keyboards don't have this issue (at least all the samsung's i've used so far), and my chapalang rm10 usb keyboard which i bought for my laptop also has a max limit of 6keys (not due to the keyboard matrix, but due to windows' HID drivers), so it served me well for all my games except o2jam tongue.gif

i've looked at the SS7G and while the construction is completely sound and awesome (those switches are supposed to last like forever, and note that its a ps/2 keyboard), the whole anti-ghosting thing seems to be a gimmick and propaganda. any thoughts? i'd really like to learn more before i invest in a more expensive keyboard as i've used 2 samsung keyboards so far and they're still alive and well, and work just fine, the only problem being that if you go to a tourney at blitzone, you can't hook up your ps/2 devices since they've locked the boxes.

Tarantula ain't PS/2, but can press 10 keys at the same time, so play O2Jam no problem. Just that it has 2 USB ports, so be prepared xD

Not really gimmick if you ask me, just I really think 7G is way tooooo overpriced.

yeah, most of the newer "anti-ghosting" keyboards allow for more key rollover (this is the term for simultaneous key presses), like the tarantula which you mentioned has 10, and the 7G which claims that every key can be pressed at the same time. but what i'd like to know is is there any situation where you need to press more than 6 keys?

although, apparently you dont need to plug in both usb connectors for the tarantula, one is for the keyboard and one is for the inbuilt usb hub.

can you tell me why though? what makes you say that, other than personal preference perhaps?

case in point would be the razer arctosa's at blitzone. we were there for a tf2 tourney, and i have to say i do indeed prefer my rm20 anyzen samsung to the ones they had there, which i had no choice but to use.

If you say like that, means RM20 chapalang keyboard enough for you lor. If me lar, it's personal preference, can see bling bling stuff in front of my computer, good companion for my DeathAdder, and the most important when I play CoD4, I need press more like 5 keys or 6.

Because normal cap ayam USB keyboard only can press 3, and I don't like to use PS/2 because need to reset the goddamn computer after plugged in when go to LAN party or just go to LAN and that for me quite troublesome >.<.

So that's why I bought the tarantula. If you only play TF2, I don't think you need to press a lot of keys at the same time... And it's up to you.

haha, aight. i think i've got a much clearer picture now. "stick with what you know and like" is the phrase of the day wink.gif

although, i'm not sure about what keyboards you've tested, and i certainly havent tested that many myself, but my rm10 chapalang cap ayam usb keyboard is right on the limit of HID devices, which is a nice 6 keys. i'm just trying to verify the myth of the "3 key rollover" keyboard =x

okay, now THIS might be something worth looking into.

one last thing i'm a bit curious about. what 5 keys are the ones that you tend to press at the same time syNc?

I don't really think it's about how many keys you can press simultaneously. Like I've seen my friend play stepmania on a RM20 prolink keyboard, pressing all 6 keys at once. However, I think these expensive keyboards have something to do with the response time at which different keys are pressed one after the other. I could be wrong as games like stepmania also require it. So... =/

YOU WRONG. You pay for material, not for ghosting/imba hacks. Chaplang keyboards internals and expensive keyboards are basically different in the sense of the quality of materials they use. All razer products have gold plated usb connectors. RM 100 there... As for response time, so long as they are both USB, response time is pretty much the same. They only vary if :

i) your keyboard has usb ports, each port consumes power when used. Since a computer's usb port output is limited to 150 - 200 (not sure which measurement, but those are the values), each device connect to your keyboard, drains power from it. Although tentatively, your computer cuts supply off to additional devices first, depending on the device attached, the power supplied to it may fluctuate, causing response delays back and forth.

ii)you go through a USB 1.1 or USB 1.0 hub or a PS/2 connector.

iii) Your keyboard has backlights.. which are utterly useless in my opinion. These make your keyboard cost more, not more than that smile.gif

iv) consumes more power than it should or the CPU lacks the power to supply the keyboard.. which, in most cases render your keyboard unusable anyway (undetectable)

Gold plated? More like gold color. But of cos the Gold does help, hence the gay expensive headsets. T.T
