Reddit mentions of CORSAIR Harpoon- RGB Gaming Mouse - Lightweight Design - 6,000 DPI Optical Sensor

Three biggest things for when people are having trouble in this game:

1. Performance.
   
   • Is your framerate stable? Capping it is a good idea if it's not. It's better to stay at 40 than be jumping between 50 and 30. You seem to have done this already!
     
   • Is your framerate high? Make sure anything CPU-bound is low.
     
     Shadow Quality, Render Distance, Particle Quality, and Effect Quality definitely need to be at absolute minimum. Counterintuitively, you'll want Texture Quality at Ultra. The game downscales the texture files at lower settings and actually puts more weight on the CPU.
     
     Avoiding large fights also helps a huge amount.
     
   • Are you getting hitching or stuttering? This tends to be tied to the same problems as having low framerate in the first place. Make sure your CPU isn't too much of a bottleneck. Planetside 2 eats the CPU alive. (And ultimately, the best fix for bad performance is a better computer.)
     
2. Mouse settings
   
   • Your sensitivity is probably too high. A good way to remedy this is by slowly lowering it a few notches every session or so. The goal is to make yourself move the mouse with your entire arm instead of with just your fingers or wrists.
     
   • Make sure Mouse Smoothing/Acceleration is off. This kind of setting makes it so moving your mouse faster makes it move further. It makes it much harder to reliably aim, so you want it off.
     
   • Turn on Raw Mouse Input. This makes the game read the mouse inputs as directly as possible without it being processed by anything like the OS.
     
   • Make sure your mouse isn't too terrible. Some mice that aren't made with gaming in mind are... questionable in how they detect movement. Good gaming mice brands seem to start at ~$30 [1] [2], which is pretty affordable.
     
3. Good discipline
   
   • You're probably not burst-firing your weapon enough. Always avoid holding down the trigger for long periods of time; its accuracy goes down the longer it fires. Letting it rest after short bursts resets the weapon's cone of fire so that it stays accurate.
     
   • Don't be afraid to disengage. It's okay to miss out on a kill and let them leave if it means staying in a safe place, or retreating to heal yourself.
     
   • Always be moving. Literally avoid stopping at any cost. You want to be AD strafing, repeatedly peeking doors, etc. This includes even if you're not sure if an enemy is around.
     
     Short of that, good practice is always good. Make sure everything is set up correctly, and that you're practicing good habits-- you should get better every day.

[Keyboard] (https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Illuminated-Industrial-backlighted-EagleTec/dp/B015MPQQ0A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1535930246&sr=8-3&keywords=eagletec+mechanical+keyboard)


The keyboard is a bit loud, but I like it a lot. Plus, it's pretty cheap for a mechanical keyboard. especially if you go with just the blue backlight instead of RGB.

Mouse

I have no issues with the mouse whatsoever. If you want more programmable buttons, you could always look at others. (I've always been a fan of Corsair mice, but Logitech has great mice as well.) You can program the color of the logo with Corsair's software to have a bunch of different effects, or stay blue since that's your theme.


Headset 1

This is the headset I've got and I absolutely love it. The sound quality is pretty good plus it's got a great mic compared to other headsets. I did link the refurbished one, though. I have a refurbished one and I've not had any problems. It isn't blue like you asked, but with everything else being blue I don't think it'll look bad since it's a neutral color scheme.

Heasdset 2

My friend has this headset and he thinks it's pretty good. I've never actually used it but he's happy. The mic quality is definitely a little worse and the blue cloth will eventually start to fray and rip. It is still a very popular and liked headset though.

Other people will probably have better suggestions for higher end gear, but if you buy all this you'll only be at around $160-$170, so you'll even have some money left over. Whatever you end up getting, I hope you like it!

Well.... here's some great mice for under your $50 minimum. The Logitech 300 series (300, 302, 303) are all 20-40 and are my personal recommendation if you're on a budget.

I have the Corsair Harpoon RGB and I love it, fairly light, 2 side buttons and a button just below the scroll wheel for on the fly dpi switches, RGB. Although It takes some getting used to as the shape is a bit odd.
And it’ll run you about 25$ on amazon.


Edit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M9DDCKD/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518821237&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=harpoon+rgb&dpPl=1&dpID=41NWfrMr-8L&ref=plSrch

It’s actually 27$, but it’s a really nice mouse for the price.

I'm using the Corsair Harpoon, works very well considering the price

The Corsair Harpoon looks good. I'd also recommend the DeathAdder Elite and Raptor M45

$1500 is not really the budget for a 144Hz build. You can get a PC that plays those games and you can also get a 144Hz display, but it won't be a PC that is suited for 144 FPS in new games. But in older games it will work, so maybe that is okay for you.

With https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160177 as display. That will leave you enough money to get a keyboard like https://www.amazon.ca/Redragon-KUMARA-Backlit-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B016MAK38U and https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-CH-9301011-NA-Harpoon-Backlit-Optical/dp/B01M9DDCKD as mouse. Step down to a 60Hz display if it gets too expensive.

But you maybe should experiment with ergonomic mouses instead. https://www.amazon.ca/Anker-Wireless-Vertical-Ergonomic-Optical/dp/B00FGI2QVC/ is one common form, https://www.amazon.ca/M618BU-Optical-Ergonomic-Vertical-Connector/dp/B00AYXUIO6/ goes a bit further (and wow, that's cheap). They aren't necessarily great for shooters, but for slower games they work well, and the second one especially is great as soon as you are used to it.

There are also ergonomic keyboard. With mechanical keyboards you have to consider that the keys can be harder to press (for the Redragon one that is actually unlikely). That can be good or it can be bad, depending on the user.

I have a $50ish corsair keyboard and $30ish corsair mouse I use with my mac mini. They are awesome. Plug and play. Nothing to fiddle with. Sleek and satisfying. They're seriously great.

I included monitors, but it's way over budget and that's without peripherals besides those monitors or the operating system or any computer building tools.

Operating system

Amazon links to the download or the USB. If you pick the first option, you'll have to make a bootable USB drive.

Useful videos

Step by step PC building walkthrough.

What to do after you finish the build.

Updating the BIOS (necessary for getting the RAM to run at correct frequency).

Tools you'll need

Screwdriver. Magnetic tip is optional (but useful). Number 2 size Phillips head. Here's one if you don't have one.

Scissors/Wire cutter. You probably have one already.

Zip ties for cable management.

Optional Mini screwdriver for hard-to-reach places.

Optional Velcro straps to assist cable management further.

Other peripherals

Entry-level, non-mechanical keyboard from Logitech, or a mechanical like this Cougar MX Cherry Black switch keyboard.

Entry-level gaming mouse from Corsair.

QcK Gaming mousepad.

Feel free to ask anything.

Note: all Amazon links are to the US site, not the Canadian one. The PC build, however, has all Canadian links.*

EDIT: Formatting.

EDIT 2: If you pick one of the two monitors, pick the BenQ one. It's a nicer monitor.

everyone here is just asking if you have done research or saying things you already know like "it depends on your preferences" no shit it does

should be the price your looking for

If you are looking to spend $30 on a mouse go with a reputable brand like Logitech, SteelSeries or Corsair.

The Corsair Harpoon is a good small mouse with RGB lighting placed on RocketJumpNinja's top 40 list.

Without diving too much into detail... Basically, you will definitely experience an improvement with a better mouse. However, if you're expecting to go from bronze to Taimou because of a mouse, you're probably going to be disappointed.

I would recommend the following as an extremely reasonably priced, respectably performing gaming mouse:
Corsair Harpoon -

Pixart PMW3320 Sensor, 250-6000 DPI, 1000Hz polling

What about these 2?

• https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M9DDCKD/ref=psdcmw_172487_t2_B01D63UU52
  
• https://www.amazon.com/Cougar-MOC600O-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00PNKJLBG?th=1&psc=1
  
  Price and shape seems right. I need to look at reviews and comments, but does anyone have first hand experience with any of the above? They are Corsair Harpoon and Cougar M600.

Logitech: keyboard
mouse

corsair: mouse
keyboard

either should be solid options. Don't feel like you need to buy both logitech or both corsair, can mix and match. I typically like to keep things the same brand so I don't have too many software utilities running on my computer at once.

I use this https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CH-9301011-NA-Harpoon-Backlit-Optical/dp/B01M9DDCKD/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1499828199&sr=8-2&keywords=gaming+mouse+corsair

The Corsair harpoon is a good choice that is a bit under $30.

What are your guy's thoughts on this keyboard and mouse?
I am just looking for a budget mechanical keyboard and decent mouse. Is there anything better than these?
