    Finally looking at picking up a mechanical keyboard since ive wanted one for ages.

    I can get the above keyboards for £85 and £95 respectively. Which would yous say is the better of the two?

    Also need a good mouse recomendation in the £60 or leas range to replace my razed copperhead.

    Cheers

    Well, I have a 6GV2 - AMAZING keyboard. I absolutely love it, after coming from a G11.

    However, you're kind of comparing two different keyboards. The BW has lights and macro stuff. If you
    will ever use the macro stuff and like fancy lights. Then maybe it would be better for you.
    I've never liked any Razer stuff myself.

    It all depends what you want from your keyboard. Simple working "anti-ghosting"(on PS/2) keyboard
    or a lit up, macro-full keyboard. They're two pretty different things.

    As for a mouse - Steelseries Xai. No drivers and works amazing. Or a Logitech G400. But obviously
    they're very much personal preference.

    Do you need the numpad? If not you could have a look at some ten-key-less keyboards. The Filco's are very popular.
