Your peripherals

[rainy]

Just as a matter of interest - what kind of peripherals do you use on your PC? By that I mean anything that's not CPU, GFX, RAM or Hard Drive.

I have one PC and one laptop here, so the list is a bit longer.

Mouse: I have always been a fan of Microsoft Mice. 5 buttons is a must, so I have these two rodents here (all cable, no wireless):

Laptop: IntelliMouse Optical 1.1

Gaming PC: Laser Mouse 6000

Oh, in a momentary lapse of sanity I bought one of these:

But my desk surface is just as good...

Nothing special happening here in terms of Keyboards, the gaming PC has a normal PS/2 keyboard. I am not a fan of these fancy multifunction keyboards (especially if they have F-Lock). But I might go for this one soon:

Saw it at my local retailer the other day, and I liked it immediately. Not even expensive.

Speakers: Labtec Pulse 385 (no space and no money for a full-blown surround solution)
http://www.labtec.com/index.cfm/gear...d=693,crid2=22

Headset: Labtec Gaming Headset

If anyone is looking for a good and affordable headset - this little critter is about R200, and it's very good for the price.

These two are still on their way here:

Joystick: Saitek Cyborg Evo

Gamepad: Saitek P880

I'll let you know about them when I got them.

And I've got a Canon LIDE35 scanner.

Mouse - got an MX1000 laser mouse for over a year now, no hassles and great rewards.

Speakers - just got the Logitech X620 6.1 speakers for my Audigy ZS 2 over Xmas, great sound but online i have to play with my headset due to the mic.

Headset - Logitech Gaming Headset. Great and doesnt really squash my ears after hours of use.

Joystick - havent had one for ages now...

Gamepad - Logitech Wireless Rumblepad 2 for PES5 and occasional PC driving games mostly. Button layout exactly the same as a PS2 controller and great to use.

Has anyone had problems with response times in wireless mice? I've got the logitec MX700 (optical, not lazer wireless mouse) and sometimes it seems to get completely lost (or it may just be me getting fragged again :-) )

[Ruslan74]

not with the laser mouse and i do a lot of FPS games from amongst what i play... you sure you got nothing interfering with the receiver on your end?

sorry for the derail...
