What is the oldest peripheral you have attached to your PC?

[Quartz]

I have a Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS that is 20 years old. The pedals are likely older. I also have a Microsoft Sidewinder USB wheel from 1998.

stuff that doesn't get touched where the tech hasn't really progressed - speakers, webcam - prolly about 10 years old.

I have some speakers that I bought in the mid 90s, they still sound excellent

My second screen is still a Dell 2407WFP. I think last time I dug into the service menu it was at well over 15000 hours of use and that was some time ago! Never dreamed I'd end up keeping it over 15 years when I bought it.

Nothing mega old for me, max about 12yrs i think. Xb360 controller, MS keyboard, soundcard. My HTPC has an old 32" LCD connected to it.

Still have/use a gen 1 USB flash drive from 2003. Hypertec 512MB, just use it for a Macrium rescue boot.

Mum's still using mine as a hand-me-down, still going strong. As is the i7 920-based PC it's connected to.
She's using a keyboard that's about 20 years old and never been cleaned, it's properly offensive.

a 16gb usb 3 25mbps read 12mbps write drive from 2010 that i use for installing windows.

Not a peripheral but my case was purchased in June 2000. It also has a floppy drive in it, not that it's actually plugged in as there is no PATA port on the mobo.
TBH if we are talking pure peripherals still attached, they are all fairly new, I think the oldest is a 3TB USB HDD I bought in ... checks email... October 2011. Heh, I thought it was 5 years old not 10 years old! I remember it was a bit of a panic buy because of the flooding in Taiwan and huge increases in storage prices.
