Looking for gamers to tell me about their peripherals?

With Christmas and my birthday coming up practically right next to each other, I'm really interested in what things to buy. Here's a list

1. Mouse
2. Keyboard
3. Headset
4. Speakers
5. BLUETOOTH Speakers.
6. Mouse mat

Okay so, here's what I have decided so far and their prices

But I hear that lots of razer products are unreliable, personally I've gone through THREE razer charcarias headsets over the course of 7 months which is why I'm switching to steelseries.

if anyone can help, post what you have and how long you've had it and it'd be great as I do research. Reviews on what I chose are also useful. I play CS. Garrys Mod and Minecraft so nothing high intensity.

I use a lot of logitech's stuff. It's not the highest specs or the most buttons, but it's pretty reliable. Especially their mice. I've been using a plain old mx518 for years, it just keeps working. I've tried a few other "gamer mice," but they break down.

I've got an old logitech g11 keyboard also. The paint's worn off a few keys and it's not mechanical, but it works well enough. I could see going to a logitech keyboard with mechanical keys.

I've got an old 5.1 set of logitech speakers, a z5300 setup I think. They're not the best speakers I ever heard, but they work very well and they're dependable too. Not bluetooth, no, and I don't use headsets.

The main thing I'm glad I got was the icemat mouse pad. I don't think they make those anymore. You can get them on ebay probably, and there's a few others of the same sort, like icepad, and steelseries makes some hard plastic textured gaming pads that are probably good also.

This kind of mousepad is a huge improvement over anything else I've tried.
