CS:GO Hardware

[Blicky]

Hello boys (and girls for those feminists out there)

I am upgrading my peripherals for my computer and I want them specifically tailored for games such as CS:GO. I'm not particularly sure in what to get and I was wondering if anyone could give me some recommendations into mouses, keyboards and monitors for CS:GO. If you recommend something please give a little bit of justification as to why it's good, obviously not a whole review however just a short sentence.

I am currently thinking about buying these peripherals

Mouses:
Logitech G502 Proteus
SteelSeries Rival 100
SteelSeries Rival 300

Keyboard:
Corsair K70 w/ MX Cherry Red Switches

Monitors (As I want a dual monitor setup)
AOC 21.5 Inch IPS

Get a Razer Naga for quick switches for CS:GO and its sick for binds on PERP

No, the naga is garbage.

Get the Logitech G502, lovely mouse. You can also get the Zowie FK1.

Razor Abysuss 2014. Good mouse and Razer allows you to in-depthly change the settings.
Downside is that their are no macro's.

It really depends on what you are used too. I am used to having a mouse that is not really that complex but just basic like a standard HP mouse. My friend owns the Steelseries Rival 300 and it is a pretty good mouse, I enjoyed playing CS:GO with it and it feels good in my hands. Might be different if you have bigger or smaller hands though, mine seem to fit perfectly.
I myself use the Logitech G403. It is a nice mouse which doesn't look complex at all. It feels nice in my hand + they gave me a free mousemat with it.

I myself don't like the Logitech G502 for the feel it has, it just feels different. But it might be different for you.
What I suggest is you go to your local gaming shop and test out some different mouses.

(I'd suggest the Steelseries Rival 300 though)

Oh man that mouse is a beast, I had the 2012 one for like, three years, never once failed me.

Razer Deathadder is £40 roughly, it's amazing and perfect for CSGO, and be sure to get a huge mouse mat so you can look 360 with a decent DPI.

Had the G502 Spectrum (the Core and Spectrum are the same but the Spectrum has RGB lights so why not amirite) since August, best mouse I ever owned in my life. You can customize it how you want, have an accurate as fuck sensor, very high and low DPI settings, 6 DPI settings if you ever need that etc. Lovely mouse, well worth my money.

My mouse is a CM Storm Xornet that I've had for maybe 3-4 years now and it's done me satisfaction, it's also about $20-$30 and when I bought it I got a copy of Bioshock Infinite, it was the gift that kept on giving.

I bought the G502 for 50 quid, about 6 months ago. It works perfectly and got some dank lighting. @Creepis can back me up. Just get it.

I have been using the Rival 300 for about a year now and if you do not have small hands I feel it would be a nice mouse to use.

Don't get the rival 100 though it is not very good, neither is the sensei.

I'd recommend the Standard Microsoft mouse and keyboard.

Razer is good if you just care about looks...
I personally have a corsair k70 and m65 and love it.
Don't need anything else tbh... no extra buttons or keys etc.
Mechanical keyboard with cherry red is the best purchase I ever made

Get g502, so comfy if you have bigger hands
