I have a couple of those around here.  I also have a couple of Intellimouse
Explorers that are very similar in function but differ slightly in shape
(and they are white).  I've always been pretty pleased with them, but I'm
due for something different.  Right now, my workstation has a logitech mx310
attached to it.  I've been OK with the logitech because the buttons are the
same and can be bound the same as the microsoft mice.  It's a little
narrow... but the real issue is exactly what you (Folk) wanred me about a
year and a half ago when I asked about a ratpadz.  My ratpadz has worn out
and has worn the feet off my mouse.  They are both more or less trashed.

So, I popped by the NG today to get a little advice on replacements.  I'm
giving some consideration to a razer copperhead and the razer pro pad
mousing surface.  I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the matter.  I
haven't tried anything new in a long time but the other ones I thought
looked interesting were the new logitechs with weights and free spinning
wheels etc.

I think I'm also ready for a new keyboard.  Some of the games I've been
playing are beginning to make me feel like I don't have enough fingers
(Crysis and BF4 for instance)  I've been using Microsoft Ergonomic keyboards
for about 5 years or maybe a bit longer.  I use the regular $35.00 USD beige
PS2 one with nothing fancy.  I don't even know the model number.  I'm
starting to wonder if one of the keyboards out there marketed as a "gaming
keyboard" are worth the change.  I like the idea of programmable
macros/keybinds etc, but I've seen a couple of boards now that have like a
gamepad on the left side.  Does anyone have anything to say about new
keyboards as well?
