High-quality PC gaming gadgets for under R800

Peripherals are an important and often overlooked part of PC gaming – and despite the old adage regarding shoddy craftsmen and tools, we doubt many professional Counter-Strike players are as formidable when they’re playing using a steering wheel or a laptop touch pad.

Peripherals are the tools players use to interface with games, and they can make a big difference depending on their quality and specifications.

Although most top-quality accessories are relatively expensive, there are a few reliable and decent peripherals available in a more reasonable price range.
