Do you use gaming gear? Like gaming mouse, keyboard, etc?

I use a standard mouse and keyboard, though do use a gaming controller. Easier for me to handle.

Gaming Mouse - Might be useful, but NOT RAZER.I'd never pay for such overprices crap ...

Gaming Keyboard - Unnecessary, 5$ keyboards are more than enough.

im using only cheap stuff, my mouse is like 2 euro, its simple logitech one, laser with 2 buttons + middle button and scroll, keyboard is logitech k200, simple and good for me, its like 7 euro :) so im a cheap gamer hah

I have a gaming mouse by logitech and a 5$ keyboard also by logitech. mouse and sound have to be gaming gear, keyboard doenst need to be ´, its just overpriced for nothing.

razer naga mmo RPG, and a generic but nice logitech keyboard.

I have a great keyboard and an alright mouse.

I use a logitech controller. I am quite pleased with it actually. I suck at playing games using my keyboard and mouse, and they cause my hands to cramp :C.

Laptop currently with 5$ wireless mouse. If I was to build a PC , it would have a cheap 10$ keyboard and prob same mouse I have now....

No need for luxuries...

Gaming mouse is a must for me. Once I started holding a gaming mouse w/ buttons at the side + on the fly speed switch, I can't go back to those 5-10$ cheap mices. Macro's and key bindable are very useful.

Gaming keyboards is totally optional, but I needed one to accommodate games that needed high precision delay accuracy and fast return speed of keys(djmax trilogy, osu, taiko, fighting games). Also using one now to extend 2 usb ports outward. I put my gaming headset usb through the keyboard and x360 controller there. I haven't really maximized the extra macro keys on my keyboard since I don't play MMO type games nowadays

Gaming headset is totally optional, although again, I needed them for maximum experience for rhythm games. They will give you an advantage on counter strike or other games that has footsteps sound.

Overall, yes, if you want to feel that you are advancing(getting better on the game) getting better hardware is legit and not just a placebo.

Five years ago I got a cheap a4tech x7 mouse and even cheaper Natec Barracuda keyboard. Since then I've tried lots of Razers, Mad Catz, whatnot - and nothing beats my combo in terms of comfort, so I'm not looking for an upgrade. For non-pro gamer, anything above this level is not worth it imho.

Xbox controller and a Corsair gaming headset. Looking forward to a corsair gaming mouse/keyboard.

i'm using the microsoft sidewinder x4 keyboard for anti ghosting, razer lachesis (first version) mouse and sennheiser pc 360 g4me headset. after years and years of everyday usage everything is still functioning well :)

My mouse has 9 buttons.... its a cheap logitech g300 mouse, nothing too fancy. It also lights up :D
Oh, I also have a g430 headset, digital 7.1 fun . Logitech's got me covered :P

I use a split/natural/ergonomic/whatever keyboard from the late 90s. I'd never pay a premium for a gaming keyboard. Though I wouldn't mind one with mechanical keys, that make nostalgic clicking sounds when you press them.
My mouse has eight buttons on it. But I don't use more than three of them in games. I do use the other buttons, but not in games. As long as it isn't a touchpad, and doesn't use a ball for anything, I don't really care.

Cheapo wireless keyboard and mouse combo although I do have a 360 controller too.

Nope ! Don't need expensive stuff for light gaming.

Razer Deathadder for my mouse. Perfect shape for my hand, large size, and the two side buttons make it super comfortable and really easy to use.

Razer Goliathus Control for my mousepad. The Deathadder's optical was too precise for my desk and the cursor would wiggle around. Mousepad takes care of that, helps make sure the mouse doesn't slide around too much, and is pretty comfortable to rest my hand/wrist on.

Razer Onza 360 for my gamepad. Cheaper than a Microsoft 360 gamepad, works with the Xbox as well as PC, 2 re-mappable buttons and a real 4-button D-pad.

Never had issues with any of it, all 3 were under $100 total and they make my gaming much more comfortable and accurate.

I don't use them, I think it's overpriced crap.

I have awkward hands, so the only "gaming" equipment I have is a RAT mouse.

Everything else I have is cheap - simple mousepad, crappy laptop, etc.

I'm using a Logitech G500 mouse. Also got a Razer Electra headset, Razer Vespula mousepad, cheap keyboard and a Logitech F310 gamepad.

Nope. Gaming gear is overpriced, typically. The closest thing that I have that could be called gaming gear is my headset, which was cheapest option besides call center headsets, and I'm not getting one of those for my rig.

I use a Logitech G400, and I can say it's way better to use than the crappy normal mice you can get.
I find gaming keyboards and over-featured mice to be a gimmick though.

$15 Hp classic keyboard (Didn't come with my PC;; I bought it off of Amazon because it was easier ot type on and it was comfy)

And my Standard $2 mouse (which came with my PC)

I have a SteelSeries Sensei and a Razer Mamba. I use a CM Storm Quickfire TK with Cherry MX Blues and I have a SteelSeries QCK Heavy and a Mionix Ensis mousepad. Couldn't live without any of them.

I really don't believe that any old mouse and keyboard will do for gaming. Same with mousepads. You pay a premium for a product that you'll actually enjoy the features of. Either ergonomically or functionally.
