My mouse now won't even allow me to drag and drop an item for reforging, just moving feels like my feet are stuck as my toon chugga-chuggas to get out of things (in raid i was using the keyboard arrow when the mouse acted up - but that didn't help in instant situations.) I cleaned the mouse and keyboard but it is still acting up. SO I am buying a new set. Suggestions? Here is the things i want:

1) Something that will last.
2) my hands are tiny so any of those big bad many button mice are not for me.
3) I can use my current keyboard for work (web design and stuff) but would be great to have a more game friendly keyboard? I mash keys a lot.
4) I would like to spend under 100 dollars if possible.
5) I will probably go to our Best Buy that is about 15 min away.

I like the look of the Logitech - G400 Optical Gaming Mouse & that keyboard! Mashing keys + ol'tiny hands sometimes can cause stress - I like the way that keyboard seems to fit the way you hold your hands!

i find it the most comfortable, but makes sure you get the feel of it at BB before you buy it. I have owned a couple over the years.

I'm all about mechanical keyboards, though it would eat up your $100 budget and then some with just the keyboard.

I have the Logitech G110 keyboard and Death Adder mouse. Keyboard is pretty nice, can set up three different profiles for the set of "g" keys, and has light up keys. Think I got my keyboard for $50-ish or so.

The mouse though is fairly big but has two thumb buttons I love, especially since I have ghost wolf and wind shear bound to em. The only thing I don't like is that the sides of the mouse are glossy and makes it feel a bit odd.

My latest keyboard I got was a standard 104-key by Rosewill off of Newegg, $10. Works just lovely.

My previous mouse was a Logitech MX518, loved it. My current one is a Logitech G400.

Currently using a Logitech G510 that I love the shit out of, and my faithful Razer Lachesis (ambi-Death Adder, basically) that has been going strong for 4 years.

Also, I was browsing Best Buy's website since you mentioned them...

Thank you all for your advice. Going to get the G400 mouse tonight and look at keyboards this weekend.

@Herbie/Kegstand - good idea about the ghost wolf & wind shear to the side mouse buttons! What will we do with frequent interrupts when they change in 4.3?

I have tiny hands (anyone can attest to this) and I use a Razer Naga and love it for raiding. Nothing like having 12 buttons.

Logitech G500 is simple, durable, inexpensive, and great for small hands. It has a nice feature where you can unlock the mouse wheel to let it freely spin when you feel like facerolling.

I've got a Logitech G500 and really like it.

I recently treated myself to a Das Keyboard, and while it was expensive, it was worth it; the tactile feel of typing on a mechanical keyboard is very pleasurable, and given that I spend so much of my day writing code, I consider it to be well worth the investment.
