PC gamers, do you use any gaming specific gear?

[Monkey_Warfare]

Razer Naga
Logitech G930 headset
X-box controller for windows
And a budget keyboard, but getting a Razer Nostramo for christmas
I pretty much spend all my spare cash on my computer gear, that and coffee, so much coffee
does a coffee machine and minifridge for milk by my PC for ease count as gaming gear?

I mainly use some cheap Logitech stuff. It works, and the mouse has a few extra buttons.

Im using
cyborg RAT 9 mouse (awsome custamisability, really comfy and 2 swappable batteries)
Cyborge V.7 keyboard (pretty good and cheaper than most gaming boards but no on fly macros they have to be preprogramed)
cyborge fly 7 joystick (think its the 7 anyway, really good stick but isnt used enough lol)
and the best piece of kit Ive ever bought and one thats made the biggest diffrence a £20 steel seriesrazor aluminium mouse mat honestly this is the best thing you can buy for gaming

 

[Elsarild]

I got a G35 headset from logitech,
a G19 keyboard from logitech
And a G500 mouse from logitech
XboX controller for various games.
And some would say a steel series mousepad is "gaming specific" as well.

I have a Razer Naga that I used when I was still playing GW and AoC. Now I just use an Intellimouse (the extra buttons on the Naga don't really do anything for me on most of the Single Player games now, so why wear it out), a Logitech G11 keyboard, and a Nostromo n52 "Gamepad" (what can I say? I loves me some macros).

I have a Razer Onza controller, but since it's an RMA after the last one died after a month, which then took another month to get replaced from Razer at an out-of-pocket cost almost half of the controller's price, I'm not too eager to use it again (and I won't be buying Razer anymore).

Never met any programmers, have you?

We convert coffee into source code.

I have a Logitech G5, nice mouse, good palm fit. I have pretty large hands, so I need quite a large mouse to go with that. I don't know if you can really count the G11 keyboard, because they do call it a gaming keyboard at Logitech, but I don't have anything more game-realted then on my old, generic, beige keyboard besides a few flashy lights.

 

[LilithSlave]

I use whatever works. I don't get caught up in mouse and keyboard hardware.

Though I do love my Hello Kitty mouse.<3

 

[Fooz]

i have a Radon 3K Gaming Mouse, A Razor Sphex Gaming Mousemat (it was on sale) and Fatality Creative Gaming Headphones

just a normal keyboard though, but i want a gaming one just because they look sweet

 

[Techno Squidgy]

I have no special gear, yet. Going to be buying one of them fancy pants Logitech Keyboards with the little screen, and a better mouse. Maybe a better headset, this one has been through a lot of accidental abuse.

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

I do not. I actually find a lot of the gaming specific gear to be uncomfortable and overly expensive. I vastly prefer just your standard 10 dollar keyboard and a Logitech laser mouse with at least 1 side button. That is enough for me!

 

[mwhite67]

I've got a logitech G700 mouse, which is the best mouse ever by the way, and a Razer Nostromo keypad.

 

[Custard_Angel]

I've got a Razer Abyssus RZ01-003 mouse, but I got it for free with my laptop, so I don't think it really counts. Also, it only has 2 buttons and a mouse wheel/button so I don't think its that much of a gaming mouse.

Heh. Pretty much exactly what I was going to say, although technically the caffeine can be in any form, not just coffee. Mountain Dew has always been a popular choice, too, and there's a reason ThinkGeek has an entire caffeine section, with things like caffeinated mints and caffeinated soap.

 

[Deathlisk]

I have a razer mousemat, mouse and headset. So, yes.

 

[Fredvdp]

I bought myself the cheapest five button mouse I could find on a specific web store. This is the Trust GXT14 Gaming Mouse. Sometimes single click is interpreted as a double click but after a while the mouse fixes itself. It learns!

Other than that I got a decent sized 1080p monitor and a Logitech 5.1 speaker setup. I feel handicapped when playing in stereo.

 

[RemuValtrez]

I use a normal mouse, but I do have a Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard with 54 programmable macros.

 

[charlzheimer]

i personally never really saw the need to buy "GAMING" equipment.
most of it is expensive as hell and i can do just fine without it :s.

i do prefer to use a headphones over speakers when gaming, i have no idea why but i just can't game propery without them headphones. :3
(probably to hide the fact that i like to listen to very very silly music while gaming)

 

[octafish]

I have a bunch of stuff that is gaming specific that doesn't give me an edge.

I have a G15 keyboard that I bought to monitor my OC temps (seems redundant now that I have Sandy bridge, but before that I had a second monitor that was pretty much just for temps).

I have a MS Sidewinder x8 because it is the most comfortable mouse I have ever used (everyone else hates it, which makes me like even more).

I have Gamecom 777 headphones for games that require voice communication and because I used to have my PC setup next to my kids room (They are the big chunky eighties ones, they're great).

I have a Saitek Cyborg X joystick because it was the cheapest joystick I could find with twist rudder control and you just have to have a joystick.

I also have a Logitech Driving Force Pro because playing driving games without a wheel is no where near as much fun as with but I'm not forking out for a G27.

Like I said none of this stuff gives me an edge, but it makes my gaming more enjoyable.

EDIT: I have a Logitech F310 double shock type controller sitting next to me that I totally forgot. It really only gets used for soccer games, and the occasionally terrible console port.

Got a 4-year old Logitech mouse, but that's about it. I do have an old keyboard from around the same time, but since I now use a laptop, it mostly just lies around on my tower. Broken keys don't really help it's case either. Do need a new mouse though, the one I have doesn't always recognize clicks.
