Hi kfuchs,

How much are you willing to spend on the speaker?

For keyboard and mouse, I think its subjective, I currently have the Logitech G15 2nd Gen and the Logitech MX518 and I love it however my brother hates them and he got the Razer Lycosa and the Razer Deathadder. I like the feel of the keys on the Razer Lycosa however the touch pad/media button's I've heard to not work properly. I've also heard people getting the Saitek keyboard. If there's a local computer store near you, I suggest paying them a visit and try out their keyboard/mouse to get a feel to it and just buy it online if that's the cheaper option.

Just a comment about mice and mousepads, there have been numerous complaints about having a Razer DA with a QcK mousepad. The Razer DA's laser does not work properly with the surface of any of the SteelSeries mousepads, so I'd advise not to get a Razer DA and a QcK. I currently have a Ms 1.1a and a QcK+ as well as a QcK Heavy, and I find it works wonders.
