Even that I am a big fan for Starcraft, I'll pass for paying $320 for all these peripherals.
 
Shiny... They're really epic looking equipment, but I think there are better (read: cheaper) alternatives. G500 and G9x from logitech, Storm Sentinel from CM....
 
I bought a razer mamba wireless mouse. It's fail. I wouldn't buy another razer product even if it was bargain bin priced. Less than 1 day battery life from a full charge? It's kinda cool but the 5 or 6 wireless mice I had prior were all better.
 
"The mouse will retail for $79.99 USD, and the keyboard will retail for a heftier $119.99 USD. The headset--which features a detachable microphone and a configuration utility for customized volume levels--will retail for $119.99 USD. All three will be available in Q3 2010."

err, no thanks...

epic
 
yeah the keyboard looks nice but i don't think i'd like the mouse. it looks uncomfortable.
And i agree that Razer stuff is generally overpriced. although i do own a Razer Lycosa keyboard i got on sale for $20
 
For me it all comes down to how the keys are made. I'm using a mechanical switch (clickie) keyboard. I will never go back to a membrane keyboard. Unfortunately mechanical switches (like cherry) are pretty expensive.

too pricey, and maybe its just me, but i dont like the looks of that mouse. remove the starcraft text/logo and show it to people, i bet most would say they dont like it. look at the shape, one word, ergonomics.

there are lots of mouse out there that are way better(and cheaper) than this.

dont like the KB as well :)

I was laughin my ass off after I read that!
 
And yet every RTS progamer uses keyboards that cost 15 dollars and mice that cost under 30.

Lights, macro keys, extra buttons... not needed. High DPI is nice for high resolutions. Simple mice with few buttons end up being easier for RTS. You arent coding here or playing an MMO here... extra buttons get in the way.

I love Razer products but this is just brand name association trying to make a few extra bucks.

My 15 dollar keyboard and 40 dollar razer mouse (the one with only 2 buttons + wheel) allow me a comfy 250 apm in sc1 and 150 apm in sc2.
 
Seems to me they just want a piece of the SC2 hype and sell overpriced peripherals. I'm sure they work perfectly fine, but come on! The keyboard is tournament-ready? What does that even mean?!
