Honestly the hardware-for-gamers paradigm has done a lot for making better mice, keyboards, chairs, and headsets that stand up to all-day abuse. I'll cede that the RGB thing is wildly out of control (WHO NEEDS RBG RAM STICKS?!?) but overall I think it gives developers far better of-the-shelf choices than one would have 10 years ago.
- DaiPlusPlus 5y ago> better mice, keyboards, chairs, and headsets Mice and keyboards that don't operate without online-registration-required accounts? Chairs and keyboards that look cool for streamers but are utterly unergonomic? And headsets with cat ears on them... No thanks.
- smolder 5y agoOnly Razer is pulling the mandatory online signup thing. My keyboard (a "durgod" mechanical) and mouse (Zowie brand) are geared towards gamers, high quality, and need 0 software config - there's a lone DPI adjustment button on the underside of the mouse. "Gaming" monitors and graphics cards are also quite nice. When it comes to RGB crap and gamer audio gear or gamer chairs, yeah, it's all pure-gimmick rubbish.
- smolder 5y agoI'd take a regular office chair and non gamer headset over the gamer branded ones, but Zowie mice are nice, and so are ubiquitous mechanical keyboards.
