Q.1) I wanted a good Cheap gaming Keyboard Mouse combo to fit my budget of 48$ . I researched and came up with two options to buy from:

1.)Razer Cyclosa for about 22$ having Razer abysus Mouse having lowered dpi of 1800.

2.)Cooler Master Storm Devastator for 46.52$

Q.2 My Review of Both the Options.

Coolermaster Devastator

pros:It has blue led lighting ,Tron Theme design, awesome mouse with 1000,1600,2000 dpi switch on the fly.Media keys on KB.Five button mouse.

cons: Rubber Dome keyboard.When back light is off ,letters on buttons are hard to see. no anti ghosting, no macro keys.no driver software for customization.no mention of polling rate of keyboard and mice.

Razer Cyclosa Gaming bundle

pros:Anti-ghosting,macro keys for gaming,media keys. polling rate is 1000hz.
Mouse is a simple Razer Abysus mouse cost 6$ less than cooler master devastator. Razer driver software is awesome.

cons: Its an infrared mouse means i have to extra buy on good gaming mouse pad.No back-lighting .Abysus mouse has slightly lower dpi of 1800 mouse and has three click button And has dpi switch of 800 and 1800. No mention of this Gamng bundle on Razer site.Some sites indicate it has rubber dome ,Some says it has Mechanical keyboard.I am confused.Is it discontinued or something ?

Q.2) Is Razer cyclosa a Mechanical Keyboard?

Q.3) Do the enjoyment on experience of mechanical keyboard is enough for the lack of back-lighting and good looks and the fact that mouse has slightly lower dpi which is for a less price ..

Q.4)Please describe which type of mechanical switches did Razer cyclosa have if it is a Mechanical keyboard .

Or should I go for cooler master devastator...
which has good looks, lazer etched keyboards for compensating lack of mechanical switch ,
mouse has slightly higher dpi , words on keyboard is hard to see without back lighting.lack of antighosting and lack of polling switch in mouse.

PS: dont refer to the reviews given in flipkart for razer cyclosa as they are about 1 to 2 years old. i am assuming that in orevious 1 or two years flipkart had got some sort of defect batch... i certainly am optimistics of having them a good batch of the product

PPS: If you have any other combo or different mouse and keyboard combo.please do tell
I want durability and longevity in my keyboard.
 

No. I have this, can confirm it is not. Nowhere on that site does it mention it's a mechanical keyboard. This link: http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/wiki/buying_guide should give you a guide. (scroll down)

I am assuming you're looking for cheap, the Monoprice option should be fine.
 

thanks !! I have realise it is not an M.K.B... decided for cm storm devastator.
