kinda torn between the K60 that is more appealing to me for strictly D3, and the K90 that seems better for typing/general use..
They both have reds; get the cheaper one if you're hellbent on getting "gaming" peripherals.
What I meant is, the wrist-rest thing on the K60 seems to be better to play D3, but the one on the K90 is most likely better when you're having both hands on your keyboard. With the K60's wrist-rest thing for the left hand only im afraid it'd feel awkward when typing..
I use a Logitech G700 myself. I like logitech they are just very solid and reliable. It honestly have too many buttons and the 3 buttons on the top left aren't very accessible, takes a second to click. So I use them for seldom used functions in games. And having too many buttons is somewhat of a luxury problem. The 4 side/thumb buttons are very easy to click and work well.
On the other hand I have heard a lot of good things from professional gamers about the Steelseries Sensei.
I'm a logitech man myself. I'd suggest a G500 http://www.logitech.com/mice-pointers/mice/devices/5750
I used to use a G7 (the old wireless one) but after 6 years, the rechargable batteries are running out of juice so I decided to get a wired one. In terms of longevity, the actual mouse still works perfectly after 6 years of moderate-heavy use.
In terms of size, if you have smaller hands like I do then it is a great fit.
You can alter the weight if that's your sort of thing (I personally don't find much difference, as even a heavier mouse isn't really THAT heavy) and it has the 3 sensitivty levels switch on it for more general gaming outside of d3.
it could use a few more buttons for d3 specificity, but that's not a big deal since you have a keyboard haha.
According to my needs and the feedbacks in this thread, I guess i'm now looking for a rather small/light mouse with a couple extra buttons on the side, and that is not a Razer!
The Xai looks exactly like what i'm looking for indeed!
Looks like im going for K90 and Steelseries Xai then!
I didn't see where the Cherry Reds vs Blacks were discussed but it you want a little stiffer press and want to pay less the Steelseries 6Gv2 is really nice. Far less flashy but the lettering can wear of easily, I have my lettered keys replaced with blank ones anyway.

Haven't experienced that problem yet and I use it a lot.
It's really just QWER and mostly the Q which I think might be due to many Skarner matches in LoL.
I've played with a bunch of keyboard and can tell you Cherry MX RED's are best for gaming they actuate quicker than blues and are silent. Blues are the next best cause they actuate the third quickest but they made shit tons of noise, I don't mind but some people do. If you want a Mechanical board get a Blackwidow ultimate, if you're not a fan of clicky noises get the ninja edition. Browns are the second quickest and make a little noise not as much as blues and blacks are no noise but are harder to actuate making them less desirable for gamers who need to be able to press a key with minimal force in quick succesion. I'd reccomend the Steelseries 7g or the Blackwidows Not sure about the G19 it's not mechanical but I liek the G15 that my friend has so I can reccomend that and since the G19 is the better version I guess that's an option too.
Mice are a different ballpark. Razer is good Logi is good steelseries is good. The only difference between any of them is styles of play and weight and looks. They're all the same damn thing. most have 5.6k DPI+ for super fast mousing although it'll take a while to get used to. If you liek claw style where the palm rests on the mouse and only the fingerstips rest on the mouse, an ambidextrous mouse like the Razer Lachesis is good. If you like Palm grip which is where everything rests on the mouse then naga's mambas' imerators, G9x's are all good choices. If you're a fingertip player than a mouse like the lachesis is good, the Xai, the naga ultimate with the slim grip is good too. The mouse is much more personal preference

Hmmm really when chosing switches its more a matter of personal preference imo. Its a lot better to try them before jumping to a conclusion, I feel there is a world of differences between black and blue for example while really I have seen everyone and their dog having a preference for either.
I might agree though about red, but I can't stand blues :X
Also I dont understand why you say Red are best and then recommend the 7G which is black and the Blackwidow which is blue ? (unless there are other versions that I dont know about).

There aren't many Red keyboards, I only know of 2, the Corsair K60 and the rosewill one. I'd reccomend either but have never experienced either as such I didn't put them in my reccomendations. Others say they're great but no personal experience with either.

What mouse you use is pretty much dictated by the size and shape of your hand. Find something thats comfortable for your hand.
After my old logitech mx510 which lasted for ages, I ended up with Roccat Kone. Customizable weight, change dps with buttons next to the scrollwheel on the fly, 2 thumb buttons. Its also 5 lights inside it, which you can choose the colors off individually. (can even make them flash if you are really into cheesy stuff)
You can also store 5 (?) preset settings, and they are stored in the mouse, so if you move it to a new computer, you still got your settings.

I can see what you see not. Vision milky, then eyes rot.
When you turn, they will be gone. Whispering their hidden song.
Then you see what cannot be. Shadows move where light should be.
Out of darkness, out of mind. Cast down into the Halls of the Blind
If you want small and light, theres a shiton of bad recommendation here. I would highly suggest the Logitech G300 (plenty of buttons, light and small and very affordable) or the G400 which is a bit bigger
This is what I have been using since, they first came out. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826105122 I buy as many as I can, when I need a new one. (They don't make them anymore) I really like the side buttons because of their size and location, you can hit them with the inside of your fingers and not just with the tips of them. I also hold my mouse at about a 35 degrees from the straight on.
A lot of these mice have a lot of buttons that are on the far side of the mouseand they are small and under your hand/fingers some, I don't see how they would be useful at all.
FYI, Anyone know if the Logitech Gaming Mouse G500 or/and Logitech Gaming Mouse G300, are about the same size and weight of the Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical 1.1A, that I use?
I bought the Steelseries Merc Stealth about a a year and a half ago to try out the gaming pad to the left side of it. It took a while to get used to but I love it. I never liked using WASD. It looks kinda weird at first but it has everything close by and laid out perfectly. I love it so much I actually bought a new one a few weeks ago to have as back up in case the one I have now fails.

Simple enough. Gaming mice are so douchey.

my ms mouse drives me crazy with clicking noises

One nice thing about Cherry switches is that caps are easy to get! http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/keycap-sets.html
