I've been using the Logitech G600 for over a year now and it's the best mouse I've ever owned. All the available buttons on top of the "G-Shift" ring-finger click which allows for twice as many combos.

I had the Cyborg RAT7 for a while and the forward clicker was dead within a couple months, pathetic.

been changing mice way too often since I've been gaming, but currently using a Logitech G100S - with an Artisan Raiden MID mousepad.
I use a fingertip grip, none of my palm is on my mouse, so shape/size is pretty neat on this one. unfortunately for me, the Kana v2 I had before wasn't compatible with the Artisan pad, so I just use the G100s instead. I think a surface is way more important than a lot of people think. certainly is for me.

keyboardwise, I've had a ton of stuff as well, but currently using a KBC Poker with Cherry MX Red. wanted to get a HHKB2 but I do want that ctrl button placement of a normal keyboard.
so, considering the Leopold one with Topre 45g switches with a very similar layout to my KBC Poker. just not sure if/when... do want to try it first. I know 45g switches are great since I've had a topre with 45g, but the rest of the KB needs to be tested too. definitely prefer Topre over Cherry MX. however, browns are my favourite Cherry switch, not sure why I got the Red for my KBC Poker.
I also own 4 IBM Model M that I have stored away somewhere... :P

Realforce 87u 45/55g ftw! I've never had the chance to try a model M but I do have a test switch thingy with it.

At home I use the Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 3000. I generally still prefer keys with a bit more travel and slightly harder feedback as I learned to type on old noisy keyboards.

For laptops I simply adore Lenovo's for their great keyboards. Typing on a Thinkpad series just feels right. The big delete button is perfectly placed on my old T410.

What I'm describing isn't a sensitivity or DPI issue. Its a tracking issue where the mouse jumps to a downward or upward facing position.

Ah ok I gotcha, I just misunderstood what ya meant, sorry about that!

Topre switch is direct opposite from Model M IMO.
I use Model M from 2008 until now. When i try topre, i just know what "type on cloud of boobs" mean. It was too light for me, or maybe i am just fan of buckling spring.  :)p13

I use a Cooler Master Storm Spawn. It's cheap, fairly small (though not notebook mouse small), and has two thumb buttons. Which I don't use, because my finger reach is pathetic and programming the buttons is a bit irritating. Unlike say a Logitech gaming mouse (had the G700 briefly), the mouse software doesn't retain bindings for individual games, so you have to re-bind each time you boot up a different one.

Also, no option for free scroll. I like spinning the wheel and going "wheeee!".

I`m using a CM Storm Alcor (Plug & Play, no software BS) and a Keycool 84 with Mx Black (can`t recommend them anymore, since Keycool started to use Kailh ( poo ) switches instead of Cherry`s ).
And really if you don`t use your numpad a lot, you should try a compact keyboard, it`s much more comfortable.
I also have a CM Storm Recon but now they`re boxed because I liked the Alcor more.

I use razer stuff.  Can't say how it compares to most of it's competition but I've been pleased.
