I believe the Logitech gaming keyboards are very good.

I got a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard. Been using it since about Thanksgiving or Christmas, It is awesomely comfortable. It has a lot of features, not so much for games, but the shape and contour of it is more like a game pad. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1515763&CatId=142 and I just use a fair sized Logitech mouse.

I use Razer mice. My current one is the Death Adder and I've never had a single issue with it. I don't go for gaming keyboards. (Too many gimmick buttons for me). I use a standard Microsoft keyboard.

The wired vs. unwired talk is now of na avail. The response times of unwired are about 2 milisecs different slower than a wired. Not enough to matter. As for the keyboard Ii have a Saitek Cyborg. It's ok for FPS but if you play WoW or other games where you need to see hit-points or other the G19 seems to be the best. Go to Maximum PC and check out the best of the best area. Up near the top of the site there is a small red stripe that has how-tos, software, reviews and Best of the best. Click on the tab and scroll down to keyboards then to mice to see their picks. A good keyboard has a built in function called anti-bounce. This keeps the keys from accidentally hitting twice. Have you ever been typing and seen two letters pop up when you know you only hit the key once? Thats bounce. In a game if you do something like throw a grenade and the key "bounces" you waste time throwing two grenades. Not good and rare but it does happen. Buy a good gaming keyboard. Check the fit of your hand against it if you have a Fry's or Best Buy around. I played with the Microsoft Ergo style for a while but found the distance from the wsad keys to the hjym keys too far. It splits at athese letters and you need them closer together for speed. Get a good head set too. Speakers sound good but don't give good accoustical feedback as where an opponent might be. In a game of 6-8 people I can hear people very far away with my Creative Fatal1ty series headset. A definate advantage in a small game. Cheers and good luck!

If you don't want to do that then I would go with what they suggested, a Logitech http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.235197900 Awards

The most important thing is to be skilled with the mouse and keybord you have. I'm playing with a standart (EX100) logitech wireless mouse and keybord (howl package for 20€) without any extra buttons (only left, right and wheel ; eventhough you have different suit modes in Crysis wars), but I really like it and always have a good score.

Keyboard = I am really hard on keyboards so --I just get one that has spill proof coating --think current one is from logitech , if you wanna go higher end the G series from logitech or the razer gaming keyboards are some of the best .
