Mouses are most definitely personal choice. I've always been a big fan of Logitech mouses, but I recently purchased my first Razer mouse and am thoroughly enjoying it. One thing though Ion, if you're used to an X8, know that almost any other mouse you use will be a lot smaller. I bought an X8 before I got my Lachesis, and I had to give up on it within a few weeks because it was so big for my hands as to be uncomfortable.
I must say, for the price, the Razer Lachesis is a superb mouse. The Logitech G9x is as good, but costs a lot more. I'd certainly get one again.
As for keyboards, you need to find something that suits the feel you like. The X6 feel almost like a laptop keyboard in it's tactile response (that's the gaming keyboard that j0no is referring too, btw). The Logitech keyboards have a much deeper stroke, which may or may not satisfy you (minds out of the gutter, girls
).
Razer also make decent keyboards, with a tactile feel that's much like the logitechs, and also at decent prices. The exception to this is their mechanical keyboard (can't remember the name), which is a lot pricier than the normal keyboards, but which provides a very distinctive tactile response.
I suggest trying out a few options at rAge. You're welcome to have a go on my Lachesis mouse and G510 keyboard, to see how they feel. I'm sure that others will happily let you play with their toys too...
