So what brand Desktop Devices do you like?
Personally, I prefer Logitech. I have a refurbrished LX700 Wireless desktop and a set of Logitech speakers. I still have a PS2 mouse from 1998 that still works flawlessly! And what about you?

[color=66ff00]I have a rather nice Compaq keyboard, a Typhoon optical mouse and my sound card is plugged straight into my Aiwa sound system.

As for sticks, I have a smashing Logitec Wingman Force 3D (quite a mouthful :) ) and a Saitek P150 game pad.

I guess the only thing I'd want to have a look at are an old IBM buckling spring keyboard. As for the gamepad, if I need something more complex I'll just build an adaptor for my Xbox pad. :nod:

You're meant to use them with your hands you know. :p

As for peripherals I also have the same stick minus the slobber and a cordless thrustmaster gamepad for playing stuff that a joystick is less suitable for.

Thrift shop. The keyboard I got from there was durable + cheap.

All keyboards (Internet Navigators, 1 beige and 1 black), mices (2x MX310 / MX500) and gamepad (RumblePad 2) are Logitech, joystick however is my old trustworthy Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro (the first one). My main speakers are Logitech (Z-2200 THX), another speakers are old Justers. Main headphones are Senheiser HD-570's, another headphone is Sony.

All in all, Logitech makes excellent hardware. As long as you don't install their mice and keyboard drivers...

Mice: Logitech, by far. I have an MX510 an' it's great; eight buttons, corded, lightweight, responsive, ergonomic an' relatively cheap. The newer MX518 an' G5/G7 look even better. The drivers do suck, but thar be a third party utility called LogiGamer that makes up for that.

Keyboards: Logitech has one very nice keyboard comin' out (G15) that I will probably buy, but th'rest all have that weird layout with th'insert/delete keys. Same goes for th'Microsoft keyboards.

Sound: I use a pair o' Beyerdynamic DT250-80 headphones. They are closed (I personally wanted th'isolation), sound fantastic in both games an' music an' like all Beyer headphones, are practically indestructible. Somewhat expensive, although I got them at a considerable discount. Headphones in general are far superior t'speakers for games IMO.
