I use mouse and keyboard just cause thats how pc games are meant to be played and my setup is:
Razer Death Adder Mouse
Razer Black Widow Keyboard

Amazing gaming peripherals IMO

I use a RAT7 and an Logitech g110
Both fantastic for what they cost.
Also i don't have wired Xbox controllers so i cant use 'em on CP.

Nice !! im new to the PC FPS gaming scene so im trying decide if i should purchase a gaming mouse and keyboard. Im using a standard mouse and keyboard I figured I would get some input and some suggestions as to which pc gaming peripherals I should look into.

360 controller. Because the stupid game locks up when I use my keyboard and press certain buttons, making it a very frustrating experience.

I prefer the 360 controller anyway.

As I always say, if you dont like the mouse and keyboard setup, stop using that dell mouse and keyboard and buy a damn gaming mouse (dell keyboards ok :P )

I use a crappy mouse with 2 buttons and a mouse wheel (that doubles as a button) that I've owned for probably 10 years. My keyboard has absolutely no special functions and has a "microsoft" brand. This set-up is still HANDS DOWN better than controller.

Every now and then I look at the fancier mice and keyboards, but they don't really offer me that much. I'd probably use an extra mouse button or two, for convenience, but I haven't needed it yet. The combined cost of my two peripherals couldn't be more than $30 bucks.

I use a Xbox 360 Controller. I believe that the controls in Crysis 2 have been designed with the controller in mind.

Logitech M310 + Compaq SDM4700P + Sidewinder Force-Feedback Wheel (great for playing Dirt)

Even with basic keyboard and mouse controls, I'd pick it over a controller any day!

logitech G9x, SteelSeries QcK+, razer arctosa
console controller is good for NFS/Shift type of games, not FPS.

I use a kb + mouse right now I have a Roccat Kova [+] and Logitech G15, but I keep meaning to try using my wired xbox 360 controller, things like the feedback through the controller can't be replicated with a kb + mouse and now more games are offering this as a built in option, plus all of the buttons are very close at hand, it makes it quicker to do things like go into binocular mode and tag targets etc... I just think it will take a while to get used to the movement side of things.

I wish chairs had feedback. Get shot and the chair will kick your whole body. :D
Now that's the future of gaming.

As mouse I use a MX518.
I have had the G9 but like the MX518 better.

I'm still looking for a keyboard. I want an ergonomic keyboard (I don't only use it for gaming) and was thinking about buying the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 but I wonder if it is any good for gaming. You need to be able to have easy access to all keys with only your left hand for gaming and I'm afraid the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 might be to big for that.

Because a bunch of people complained it's not basically impossible to use a controller in MP competitively. As such I KB+M only, I would have preferred having the ability to use the controller though.
