Hello bf2s!

I'm looking for a new keyboard (Azerty, since that's the way they teached us to type..) and some new gaming headset.

Since I don't understand what is good dpi and which isn't, I'd need some help from you guys. For the headset, quality and performance (for shooter games) is most important.. but so is its price

I'm from Belgium and would probably buy stuff from some local store.

Cheers

AZERTY is the different layout for keyboards that is widely used in France and Belgium.

headphones + mic > headset.

Yea I've been thinking about it. Sound quality is usually better right?

I even know less about that combo for the mic part...

My budget? Idk... Have no clue what a decent keyboard + headset (or headphones + mic) costs.

EDIT: does anyone know where I can register myself at www.razerzone.com? I just can't find the register link. Thanks

DPI is for mouses (mice?), dots per inch--basically a measure of how fast the cursor goes across the screen. I like 800 myself.

For keyboards, I suggest looking at the G110. It's good, and it comes in AZERTY too.

mind you, I also learned to type on AZERTY, and switched over to QWERTY. Easier when I travel.

I like pie.

trust me, you'll type for the sake of typing if you get a blue/brown mechanical keyboard. such a joy to type on.

I LOVED my G35 when I had it. Probably a bit out of your price range though.

no it's cheap plastic rubbish with fancy lights

the razer blackwidow is probably the entry-level mechanical keyboard

No it isn't, but I'd prefer an analog headset.

tbh standard gaming headsets like the steelseries siberia do fine. even better if you can get the one with a separate mic.

razer headsets are way overpriced for the sound/build quality.

i personally wouldn't buy razer but they're the cheapest option. best mechanicals imo are das / zowie / filco
