I'm currently looking into buying some gaming gear, As of right now, I'm looking into either getting a Corsair K70 With a Corsair Sabre mouse, Or the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate with a Deathadder. From reviews, All of them sound decent, But I see alot of people hating on Razer, So I just wanted to get some opinions on them.

I was also thinking about getting a new headset, I'd prefer a wireless one. Currently I'm planning on getting the Corsair H2100 or the Wireless Corsair VOID headset as they seem decently priced for a decent headset.

Thank you for your time, It is appreciated. :) (I mostly play CS:GO, and LoL, So I don't really want a ton of extra buttons on the mouse, But I would like around 2.)

If you have a low tolerance for noise, then a mechanical keyboard like the K70 may not be your style. Otherwise go for it, from what I've heard it's a solid keyboard.

As for Razor products, I can't really speak to their quality, but I will say that some of their prices are WAY out of this world when compared to some other much better products in the same price range. At the end of the day what you should really worry more about in terms of mice, is your particular mouse grip:

Basically, when you buy a mouse, take these things into consideration rather than the brand quality:
1) how big is the mouse (too big or too small for your hand?)
2) how do you typically hold your mouse (grip style: can help you determine the shape of the mouse)
3) how sensitive do you really need the mouse to be (CS:GO player often like higher DPI mice for quick, sensitive movements)
4) how many buttons/ functions does your mouse need

Hmm. Alright, I think I'll probably go for the K70 then, Sound doesn't really bother me. As for the mouse, I'm still not entirely sure, I generally use a Palm/Claw grip, As for Sensitivity, I play CS On a fairly low DPI For accuracy reasons, And use a large mousepad for larger movements. as for buttons, Both suit my needs and look fairly comfortable. From reviews, Both of them sound great for around the same price. If I get the Corsair keyboard I'll probably just go with the Corsair mouse aswell. Also, Do you think the VOID Headset would be good? Reviews I've read from NCIX don't seem that great, But there is alot of decent ones on Newegg.

Thank you~

I was using the Deathadder for about two years up until the scroll click stopped working (I'm using a middle click button more then an average user). I think it's one of the Razer products that isn't terribly overpriced but there are still cheaper alternatives (CM Storm Mizar for example).
When it comes to headphones the Sony MDR-RF855RK works great for me. There's no built in mic though.

Not too sure about that headset. Seems like the main complaint is that it dies pretty fast, which is never a good sign. What you might want to look into doing is buying a separate set of headphones and a microphone to go with it. A lot of gamers go this route because it will give you a lot better sound quality, and a standalone mouse is usually better than having one strapped to the side of your face.

Also just as a note, a good brand of mice that I recently stumbled upon is "Anker". The mouse I bought from them is solid, and has lasted about a year so far with no issues whatsoever. They are also super cheap, so I would suggest you give them a look.
