rofl luckily never broke and i just bought a bike 8 months ago so can't complain there either and i got a new GPU Dec so atleast she gives me some leeway :p

And you mad me curious about the value of the steam library i'm on $500 which i know for a fact is prolly in the lowest levels on my gaming i shudder to thing what Eugene's is.
 
Negative for me.
Unless running a server or something that doesn't require much human interaction, I want good peripherals. Going to the doctor can proof to be more expensive than saving a few bucks on a peripheral.

Bingo.

Paying for quality and longevity.

Don't forget comfort.
I'm not willing to contort my fingers/eye sight to some high quality product.

Just checked mine, $3200 :eek: so Eugene's is probably double that.

Afaic; all peripherals have their unique function. Computers would obviously be useless without them.

In conclusion: you get what you pay for.

Buy cheap - experience cheap - expect cheap.

Buy reasonably-priced - experience quality - expect durability.

Not necessarily; Some of the peripherals I have owned have not conformed to this rule. Case in point my current keyboard [Cost R80] gives a faar better user experience than the other gaming keyboard which I own [Cost R400]. Same applies for my previous mouse configurations [have got new stuff now]. It all boils down to build quality and the level of ergonomic care taken by the manufacturer.
 
I honestly have always only focused on my keyboard and mouse setup and I don't skimp on the products either:)

Currently using a Cyborg V7 keyboard and a Cyborg RAT 5 mouse, whereas my monitor is still a little 18.5 inch LG screen.

But with my next upgrade, I'm definitely going to get a new speaker system and monitor.
 
The perfect keyboard doesn't exist for me.

I want a combination of the following.

Gamepad design from the Steelseries Merc Stealth (detachable)

SteelSeries-Merc-Stealth-Blue-light.jpg

The raised key design of the Corsair K70 (so easy to clean and looks cool with backlighting)

k70_straight_k_us.jpg

The compact integrated numpad design of the CM Quickfire TK (preferably detachable)

I really hate how I have to be slightly offset to the left when typing because of all the wasted space of a numpad and navigation keys which i barely use. also, the numpad gets in the way of right-handed mouse users, and having to spread your arms apart while gaming is actually a contributor to shoulder/back muscle strain .

Obviously this dream keyboard would come with a range of mechanical key and backlighting options, and bells and whistles such as powered USB 3.0 hubs, etc.

Interesting that first one by Steelseries, did they team up or something with Zboard? that left hand arc has the very same key design as my Zboard.

Zboard is just a Steelseries brand.

I've had my Merc Stealth since 2007 and it's still working perfectly. The only degradation is on the button faces where I've worn away some of the paint or rubber coating.
 
I'm actually at the moment using two different keyboards.

My Cyborg that I've mentioned is mostly used for gaming, but I've also got a very nice wireless Logitech keyboard.

That damn thing types like a dream, cost me a arm and a leg when I bought it two years ago but it still works like it was bought yesterday.
