What gear (mouse, keyboard, etc) do you use

Microsoft multi-media keyboard.
Diamondback Razer mouse.
Everyday logitech headset.
Logitech 5.1 surround speakers.
Some knock-off PS2 controller for my Roms.

Has anyone tried those copperheads (mouse)?

damn I guess diamondbacks are pretty popular mice

I almost forgot my most crucial piece of gear, my mousepad with dolphins on it...OH YEAH!

Mouse: Razer deathadder ( I also have 4 diamondbacks and a copperhead- love razer)

Upgrading to a better mouse is definitely on my horizon.

Right now, I use a logitech MX-something or other. It's a 5-button (2 standard, scroll wheel can be clicked, plus it has buttons on the side to line up with my thumb and ring finger - I usually bind those to crouch/prone and reload) plus a 6th button that acts as Alt-Tab.

Keyboard I'm using is the MS intelli-model that game with my DS rig.  I have a somewhat odd method of using the keyboard for games...

I use the arrow keys for movement, the right half of the keys for things like jump, use, etc, the insert/home/Pg Up/etc for leaning, grenades, etc.

I have never in my life used the WASD assignments.

The DeathAdder is the best mouse I've ever used.  I am looking forward to getting the Lechiss or whatever it's called.  It's supposed to make the deathadder like the logitech crap mice ;)

 

The zboard sucks.  That's why it's on my secondary system ;)

Looking at some of the mice mentioned, I didn’t know that there was a big difference between them meaning I didn’t realize that there was a difference in tracking time with them. I’m still trying to understand the specification differences between them in order to choose the best one. Looks like a good mouse pad can make a big difference in mouse performance too. But I think that even if did get the best mouse I’d still suck at Quake 4 online. I am using a Logitech Mx518 mouse and a Saitek Eclipse keyboard with blue light.

P.S.

I forgot to mention something. I got a Gyration Ultra mouse because I thought it was a great idea for a mouse for many purposes. Although it’s not meant for gaming, I thought it would be interesting for shooting games. I wish I could get my money back for it.

I use the Logitech G15 keyboard, Razer DeathAdder gaming mouse, and Cambridge Soundworks 2.1 speakers (at home) or Sony ear-enclosing headphones (at LAN parties). 

For voice chat, I actually use the cheapest unbranded headset/mic I was able to find at Fry's, because it's comfortable and all the others I've had (Sennheiser, Logitech) have had their mic crap out on me after only a couple months.

I'm using a Logitech 518 mouse I just picked up to replace my dying logitech (discontinued).  Unfortunately the page up and page down buttons seem to be much harder to press on the fly than my old one, I'm not sure if its a problem with this mouse in particular, or all 518s. I play WoW quite a bit, so I use every mouse button at my disposal.
