Hey everyone, first post on the forums, even though I've been lurking around for quite some time. There's been a question on my mind for a while now that I thought I would post here and get your opinion.

Anyway, what do you think the best brands are for gaming peripherals?

Here are my rankings (In order from best to worst):

Mice - Razer, Logitec, Cyborg, SteelSeries

Keyboards - Logitec, Razer, SteelSeries

Headsets - Sennheiser... I haven't tried to many others so I can't really rank them.

Mouse Pads - SteelSeries, Razer

I know that there are only four companies here and I'm probably missing out on a lot of good companies, so are there any more you would suggest? How would you rank Mice, Keybords, etc, in terms of brands.

Sorry if this is a stupid question or is frowned upon here but I am just curious.

Thanks

Silly poll is silly as it highly depends on the way you use your products e.g. grip on a mouse.

and the fact that the keyboards being listed arent "gaming peripherals".

what i see is a gaming peripheral keyboard would be like those awful logitech keyboards with all those bells and whistles.

a filco is a regular keyboard, that you just happen to game with.
