Advice Need For keyboard mouse and headphones

Posted by Agitated_Eye_1325@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 4 comments

I'm looking to buy a complete peripheral setup for gaming and general use, and my total budget is ₹20,000. I need a headset, a mouse, and a keyboard.

Here are my specific requirements:

• Headset (Must be Wireless and wired): I need something that I can use for PC gaming (preferably with a low-latency 2.4GHz dongle) but also connect to my phone via Bluetooth for daily use.

• Mouse (Wireless Preferred): Looking for a solid gaming mouse. I would prefer a wireless one to keep my desk clean, but I am open to wired options if the performance and price are right.

• Keyboard (Compact): I do not want a full-size keyboard. Looking for TKL, 75%, or 65% layouts to save desk space. It can be wired or wireless, I don't mind either way.

Brand Preference: I really like Razer gear, so it would be awesome if you guys could include some Razer products in your recommended combinations! However, it is not compulsory—I am completely open to the best value and performance from any brand (Logitech, HyperX, Royal Kludge, etc.) that fits the 20k budget.

What combination of these three items would you suggest to get the best bang for my buck? Thanks in advance!

₹20,000 is going to be a bit rough to find all of this within that budget, but it is doable.

Mouse / keyboard, there's a ton of great options out there today that are reasonably inexpensive. Something like a ATX VXE R1 can be found for <₹4000 with specs and build quality that match ₹20,000 mice from major brands.

There are also some decent keyboard options from Redragon under ₹3000, or from AULA for around ₹6000 depending on how picky you are with the colors.

Ant Gaming / EvoFox aren't brands that show up in the US, but I am familiar with Ant Gaming. And everything I know about them tells me to stay away unless you absolutely cannot afford anything better. EvoFox appears to sell the exact same products as Ant Gaming with subtly different looks, so they're likely buying from the same suppliers if not actually the same company.

The hard part is the headset... though it looks like you can get a Razer Barracuda X or BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed for around ₹10,000 or less. The Barracuda X is fine, but the Black Shark V2 are quite good. It's just a matter of if you can fit them in the budget depending on what keyboard you go with.

Is ATX a reliable brand?)

ATK, and yes, they are well regarded and have been around for several years now. There are multiple versions of the ATK VXE R1 at difference price points. But realistically 99% of buyers will not be able to tell the least expensive and most expensive models apart, except for some come with a smooth finish and some come with a lightly textured finish.
