Introduction :
After years of use my old pc peripherals had worn out. I was using the same old bog standard keyboard and it was time for change, i have been gaming for about 3 years now and it was key that i had a sutible mouse and keyboard for the job, aswell as a mouse mat (if you can call it that)
Razer Lycosa:
After trailing trough review after review one manafacturer kept popping up, Razer. My dad has used these before and i like the look of them. I wanted a keyboard that was design wise, nice to look at but also performed well. The board has one USB 2.0 port on the rear of the board also with audio I/O ports. It has backlick keys and a handy touch screen panel to adjust volume and backlight settings.
Key Features:
Backlit Keys: For those midnight gamers out there
Touch Pannel: For switching between light settings
My Thoughts:
After using this keyboard for around two weeks I really Like the feel of the board. The rubber keys make keystrokes feel that much more comfier than you bog standard palsic ones. The backlighting is really good and couldnt have asked for more. I really like the touch screen feature as it allows me to adjust the lighting to the occasion. One thing that could be improved is the fact that the lighting is not changable it is set stricly to WASD were as some gamers may use the arrow keys.

Razer Deathadder:
Aswell as a new keyboard it was time for a new Mouse, a mouse is the key to gaming. I have used few mice before and didnt know what to look for. After searching through reviews and sites I knew what i wanted. A razer mouse to match my Razer Keyboard. I went with the Razer deathadder as i got it bundeled in with a mouse pad (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-001-RA) for a cheap price. The mouse has five buttons which are easily programable using the Razer Deathadder Software. It has the same blue leds as the Lycosa and fitted in perfect with my desk theme. With the capability of 3500dpi and 1000mhz polling rate this mouse was perfect for those fast turns.
Key Features:
3500dpi: for presision aiming under close combat
Non-slip Keys: Rubbers texture to feel and look good while playing, and to keep correct posture with no slipping
Five Programable Button: Set-up how ever you like
Braided Cable: Snapping or strectching the cable is a big no with the braided cable.
My Thoughts:
Also after using this mouse for around two weeks it has really grown on me, the shape of the mouse fits perfectly with my Larger hands, the mouse buttons are the perfect length and the rubber coating makes them real comfy. The leds in the razer mice are the Pristine blue and look perfect on anybodys desk. One thing that is rather buggy is the mouse is a finger print magnet, o and dont try wiping it off with a wet cloth you end up with a bigger mark
User Setup:
Setting up the razer deathadder is real easy with the help of the Deathadder Program. It allows you to Change DPI, Polling rate, Sensitivity and even X+Y axis movement all at a click of a button. All the mouse button are changable giving the user room to experement. A key feature is the save and load giving the ability to save profile as you go along.
Whats in the box:
Of course will all razer products the mouse came supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity, Razer Stickers, Razer Product Catologue, Master guide and a Quick Start Quide.
Rating:9/10
Boogie Bug XL:
What would a mouse be without the perfect mouse mat to go with it. Well that is if you can call a 3ft long pad a mousemat. The mat came bundled in with the mouse and was quite cheap considering. The mat is cloth and would fill most peoples desk space. It is also a soft touch material and is easy on the wrists.
My thoughts:
This mat is perfect for my usage, it holds not only the mouse but also the keyboard and comes in a nice black finish. The mouse glides perfectly along the cloth and the mat dosent move atall. The mat is very big so make sure you measure up before purchasing this mat.
