I was thinking of getting at least a mouse with programmable buttons so I can do most of the actions on the mouse "Weapon groups, Override shutdown, Shutdown, etc..."

So I want to know whats the best mouse and keyboard because a keyboard with the game maybe nice too.

Greetings,

I use a Logitech G700s for the mouse, it's wireless and rechargeable but can be used with the included plugin cable (the way I use it). Has 4 programmable buttons for thumb action, (again I use one for "push to talk") and "on the fly" DPI change buttons (I have 5 set but normally use only 2 for MWO) additionally there are "profile" setting that are programmable.

If you go for a Logitech mouse you'll need to also download the gaming software from there site, here's a example image of some of the features. (many other programmable options available)

I also use the G110 gaming keyboard, It has backlighting for all the keys, which is excellent in a darker room. And 12 left side programmable G keys, volume control, headset/mic plugins, and the "gaming mode" button which disables the "windows" key and media buttons.

This is a loaded question, mostly because people tend to be very passionate of the junk THEY use, and very hostile towards the other guy's top pics.

In my case, the weapon of choice is the Razer Naga 2014. Best mouse ever! The macro software known as synapse can be finicky, but I prefer it to logitech. Also prefer Razer's laser tracking, logitech mice always feel stuck in between settings.

For keyboards, anything mechanical. Ducky, corsair makes a few good ones, Razer has an overpriced one, logitech keyboards are overloaded with gimmicky junk....

The best weapon is the one that has everything you need, and nothing you don't. Of its got104 keys and precision travel, it's the best.

Of course, the next guy to come along is going to call me a complete id10t, so take with a grain of salt ;-)

Looks nice but you have left out one thing. The coding for the Joystick has not been enclosed yet. This will not happen until I.U.
2.0 has been installed.

Everyone has their own ideas about what works including mice and keyboards. When the coding is done then we will get a better
idea what really is the best. I am glad in whatever works for you.
