I have raised the budget to 3500. Please reply asap guys.

Hi i am looking to buy a new gaming series keyboard but I am unable to decide which one I should get. I mostly play games like CSGO, Civilization 5, and FPS games like metro or gta.

I am also a programmer so would need a keyboard that's good for typing long long texts.

I have these in my mind right now :
Microsoft Sidewinder x4
Microsoft Sidewinder X6
Razer Arctosa
Razer Lycosa

I have heard that x6 has anti ghosting issues but are they still existent like in 2013 models. I really like the design of x6 so will I face any issues with the games I play?

I have not seen it but I don't like it's look. I have the images on logitech website only though.
Also I am getting lycosa and sidewinder x6 for just 2k both of which are just 2 months old. Sidewinder x6 is even having 2.5 years plus Microsoft warranty left.

keyboard and mice is a very personal choice and everyone has their different tastes.. for me I would either stick with G105 or get x4 if priced below 2.5k[DOUBLEPOST=1375603160][/DOUBLEPOST]and if typing is your main priority consider getting a mechanical keyboard around 5-6k.

I am a programmer that too a game programmer.
I have seen the Mechanical Keyboard at one of my friends place who is having a DAS S Mechanical keyboard. The only issue I am having is the tick tick sound and the looks of it. I have a system with 7970HD and all the cathodes and lighting.
So i want a keyboard that looks good too.[DOUBLEPOST=1375609586][/DOUBLEPOST]Also I love the X4 the most but I just can't seem to find it online at the right price. If you know someone selling it then please let me know, thanks.

Please don't get the Lycosa.I used one which lasted me 2 years that too with an RMA.Better go for Logitech as they are way hardier and have a ncie warranty of 3 years too.
Again as topgear said you can opt for an X4 if its below 2.5K

many people have used TVSE gold but it's good for plain typing only with no extra keys fot games. If you can live with that fine but still I prefer illuminated kb over non illuminated ones fot gaming and programming.

Now mechanical keyboards do make noise but there's aesthetically pleasing illuminated mech kbs available which looks abd works great.. only con is their high price ;)

So finally I have settled for the Corsair K70 Mechanical Keyboard. Which has created a large whole in my pocket and now my whole rig is of about ₹1.45 lacs.
So now I would like buy a new mice too as I want to retire my ₹500 logitech one. Please suggest me a good mouse within ₹2000.
The one I really like is Logitech G400 and the tt eSports Black Gaming mouse.
Please suggest.[DOUBLEPOST=1375786362][/DOUBLEPOST]Just saw the CM Storm Recon and it looks deadly. Is is a good mice?
