    1. I need a decent headset, has to be comfortable and aesthetically pleasing (NOT UGLY AS FK) with a mic ofc. ~€60 budget.
    2. Mechanical keyboard. I'd like backlit, don't want to spend over 85 preferably. Not too fussy about tenkeyless/full sized as I don't use side numpad much.
    3. Anything else fun to spend money on to make my rig nicer? :o

    1. Lol, aesthetics wut
    2. You'll probably need a bit more. A basic Ducky is £80.

    say 100 for keyboard so. What switches are best for an equal measure of typing and gaming? Blues or browns?

    The Plantronics GameCom 780 USB headset with Dolby technology is a good headset with mike. Comes with a built in sound-card which has a decent, if not perfect, surround sound effect. Microphone is nice and clear.

    Seems fitting. Thanks!

    Coolermaster have some decent mech keyboards in that price range, backlit and pretty compact (tenkeyless).

    I got the CMStorm tenkeyless ... very happy with it.

    One small thing is the cursor keys are in the home,end,pgup ... etc block ... is a little confusing at first.

    I got it for £69 pounds (I think) on Amazon, can't see it for that price anymore.

    Edit: I got the brown switches ... they work for me. A little loud, but I like that.
