Total: $145

Anybody have any suggestions or do you have any of that gear and can recommend it? Thanks.

Forget that crap, Drivers are where it's at.

No seriously, why play a game when the whole thing is laggy?

A mousepad won't do stuff about that.

My friend actually has nearly this exact same setup, its pretty sweet.

Why pay that much for a mousepad?

OH GOD MY PAD ISNT SLICK ENOUGH FOR THIS MOUSE, forget THATS WHY I KEEP DYING IN TF2; NOT BECAUSE I SUCK.

My friend has a huge mousepad and I really like it. I like the entire right half of my computer table to be mousepad surface, not just a small rectangle of it.

Lol, that's actually what my friend said once. I was at his house and we were playing TF2
I told him he was sucking and he went "No it's my mouse pad, I dont suck."

My mousepad actually blows, gets in the way of typing with books on the table.

G15 keyboard sucks, my friend has it. You'll never use the macro keys.
Mousepad won't do jack stuff better than one you get at a dollar store
Mouse is an overpriced piece of stuff, all you'd need is just a wireless mouse without any of that extra bullstuff

My setup:
Mouse: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice_pointers/mice/devices/6811
Keyboard: http://www.xoxide.com/superslim-illum-keyboard-black.html
Headset: http://us.store.creative.com/Fatal1ty-USB-Gaming-Headset-HS1000/M/B001EVBUSK.htm

I got all of that stuff on a discount though so I didn't waste a lot of money on it

What's wrong with the G15? All I've heard is good things about it. Macro keys are great, along with progammable keys on mouse. I used to have a mouse with programmable buttons and I used them. The LCD is a sweet touch and backlit keyboards are awesome.

I want to get nice stuff because I just finished a gaming computer. So far i'm using a crusty old PS/2 Dell stock keyboard from six years ago and the stock Dell mouse. Is it wrong to want flashy stuff to go along with a flashy computer?

If you think buying expensive processors, and graphics card is a stuff idea, and this isn't, you aren't really that smart. I have been using a basic keyboard and mouse for 5 years now. It's not much of a change. And what's the point of a pad?

I personally would never even think of paying that much for a mousepad, of course I don't play many games.

To each his own I suppose.

I'm not going to go into justifying myself or explaining how this is different, no ones opinion is going to change and people are just going to get pissed off in the process. Instead I will answer the only question you asked me.

My friend has a pad. It covers most of the right half of his computer desk and it's very nice as opposed to a mouse pad that covers a small area. I wouldn't buy it just because it supposedly has better materials, I'm just looking for something larger than my current mouse pad.

Edit: this isn't a little 8 inch by 9.5 inch mouse pad. It's 17.5 inches by 12.

And that justifies it being $25? I've got something that can be as big as I want and be less than that, it's called a piece of fabric with rubber on the bottom.

you asses quit complaining about what he spends his money on, its not like he is taking this stuff from your life savings or your inheritance.
