Razer Mamba

If you're a PC gamer who has balked at a wireless mouse due to reliability concerns, Razer's Mamba has the solution. Thanks to a high polling rate, the Mamba is the first mouse we've tested with lossless wireless connectivity. It also joins Microsoft's SideWinder X8 in offering a relatively...

Razer ProType keyboard

Razer's new ProType Keyboard has two major highlights. The first is that it has a built-in iPod docking station that helps keep your desk free of cable clutter. The second is the keyboard itself, a just-feels-right design we awarded with a CNET Editor's Choice award when it debuted with Razer's...

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse (2007)

The two main competitors in high-end gaming mice have both come within a hair of earning a CNET Editors' Choice award, but both missed the mark. We held back on Razer's recent DeathAdder a few weeks ago because its on-the-fly sensitivity switching is so convoluted. The 2005 Logitech G5 Laser...

Razer DeathAdder

Razer's new DeathAdder comes very close to usurping the Logitech G5 Laser Mouse as our gaming mouse of choice. At $60, Razer's mouse is about the same price, but the DeathAdder offers much more customizability and is also more accurate. That alone will be enough to sway the gamers in...

Razer Tarantula

Editor's note: This review has been updated to clarify that only some of the keys, and not the main QWERTY keys, are backlit. (11/9/06)It only makes sense that after tuning the lowly mouse to gamer specifications, the various input device makers would turn their attention to keyboards. Razer's new $99...

Logitech Gaming Mouse G500

Razer Megalodon headset

Microsoft SideWinder X8 Mouse

Despite their cord-free convenience, wireless mice have a poor adoption rate among serious PC gamers due to lag and signal hiccups. Microsoft's feature-heavy SideWinder X8 solves that problem with a hybrid design that lets you swap almost seamlessly between wired and wireless connection. Throw in Microsoft's souped-up BlueTrack sensor technology,...

Despite its innovative approach to keyboard design, the OLED-based Optimus Maximus keyboard is best considered an expensive novelty.

Anyone who remembers when a "laptop" computer looked more like a suitcase-size nuclear weapon may recall the old IBM Model M-style keyboard.
