Just spent about 300 bucks on new toys.
Still trying to adjust to the keyboard since that FPS board I had was so big it had to shrink the rest of the typing keys, but I like how they included a turn the fucking lights off feature that was absent in a lot of their hardware. The keys are smooth, easy to hit and quite, almost as good as the thinkpad keyboards.
The mouse is fucking perfect, nice right handed curve, smooth surface, better than my diamondback by far.
The headphones I really like so far, their more comfortable than I could have imagined. Sound is very rich and clear. I like the lows, they sound low but not distorted. I haven't tried them in any games just yet but the only problem I have with em is I had to unplug my 5.1 speakers to use the headset :\

That video editing one looks weird as fuck. My old buddy had the logitech one, he absolutely loved it.

Congrats, SpykeZ 
Got a couple of questions about headphones
- How is the 5.1 sound positioning ? How much worse is it in comparison to yours 5.1 speakers ?
- Do the headphones cause ear burn after about one hour of use ?

I used em in Left 4 Dead since having a good system to tell where the screams and shit are coming from. The positioning was better and clearer than my G51's (though I don't have my rear speakers up yet since I don't have a place to mount them) but turning my character in the direction of the sound always revealed a hunter hauling ass at me.
It's also really weird having 5.1 in headphones, you'd think you'd only hear 2.1 but somehow...it's far beyond well done.
As for burning. These are very lightweight and the headphone itself is extremely soft. Other than the slight pressure of the headphone pushing together how their supposed to, I could have easily forgotten I was wearing them. Well worth the money imo, and I got them on sale at best buy for 100 bucks (20 bucks cheaper than newegg....when does that ever happen)
Going to go test Dead Space now
[EDIT] Holy shit. I got half way through deadspace but had to start over when I reinstalled windows, I knew i was going to be chased but damn, the sound on these fuckers make it THAT much scarier.

Update for you.
i did a 7 hour lan with L4D and the whole time I had these headsets. 80% or the time I caught a boss zombie in my view before it could get me due to the headphones damn good directional quality, even in DeadSpace which is a game built on sounds, I couldn't find this one damn monster but I could here him, spot on, so I went around some railings and looked down and wallah, the headphones were right again.
Also while these were on my head for 7 hours, I forgot they were there. They are beyond comfortable, almost like a pillow contraption for your head lol. The upper rim of my ears got a bit sore but that's only because I have huge ears so moving the cups up a tid bit felt better. |

If you will manage to get System Shock 2 to run on your system, try playing it without music, just sound effects, ambient humming, monkeys screaming etc with headphones. |

You'll be hunting and sweating as you run through the corridors, wondering how can you challenge a perfect immortal machine. |
