[SOLVED] New to PC gaming do I need a mechanical keyboard? If so which one?

[surfer949]

I purchase a custom built a rig for me (I5 3.2Ghz, Nvidea GTX 1060 3gig, 16 gig ram, 1 gig SSD) and I'm currently using a logitech wireless keyboard. I would like to upgrade to a mechanical board but honestly I don't why they're better. My budget is $30 to $40 and do I need a wired mouse?

I'm not a hardcore gamer, will be playing RTS's and a few FPS games like Squad.

There's no actual need.

A mechanical keyboard is a comfort item. It isn't really necessary if you are not hardcore. In all rights, it is a matter of preference. Whether you like to hear the click of the mechanical keyboard or whether you like a membrane keyboard. Really, your choice.

A wireless mouse vs a wired mouse. A debate that will continue for years. Again, a matter of choice. In all reality, a wireless mouse won't be much different than a wired mouse, for you.

Honestly me personally I'd pay 3* more for a non mechanical keyboard than a mechanical one, but I know I'm in the minority

As for the mouse the only downside to wireless is they're usually heavier (and yes some extremely.minor delay)

My suggestion is to try one out yourself and see if you like it or dislike it. I personally type faster on a mechanical keyboard for whatever reason. I also like the sound but that's just me.
