Just a bit of a fun one really, wondering if people could only use one peripheral brand for everything, forever, what would people pick? Every brand has its ups and downs with different people.

For me, I currently own & use 2 SteelSeries keyboards, mice and headsets, plus a SteelSeries Prism mat, bungee and soon upgrading to an Apex 7... No prizes for guessing my pick :cry:

Who would you pick?

I have a Corsair RGB keyboard, RGB mouse, RGB AIO cooler, additional RGB case fans, so...probably Corsair!

Still a solid choice! My wife has all SteelSeries too, but the Apex Ghost went out of stock before we could buy it...

Now she has a Corsair case and a white K70 waiting for Christmas
 
Logitech for me. mostly had good experiences with their peripherals. currently got a mouse, headset and webcam from them, with my kb being an aliexpress royal kludge special (i love that name, royal kludge!)
 
Another vote for Logitech - decent quality, plenty of features, and excellent warranty. I've had Logitech mice since I got my first gaming PC in 2005 - "£39.95+VAT x 1 - Logitech G5 Gaming-Grade Laser Mouse (KB-069-LG)" ordered from OcUK (of course :p)!

Steelseries do make decent peripherals - I have an Apex 7, and almost got a Rival 710 mouse instead of my current G502, but after a poor warranty experience with a common fault on an Arctis Pro Wireless headset, I won't be giving them any more of my money.
 
I do readily branch out and try other brands, from Roccat and Corsair to Coolermaster and even Razer, but like others I always end up loving Logitech stuff the best!!
 
A lot of votes for Logitech!

The last Logitech I owned was an MX518 about 15 in years ago... That thing is still kicking with about it's 5th owner!

Tried the Corsair M60 and it was a terrible mouse experience... Bought the Sensei shortly after they rebranded the Xai and I've been a sucker for SteelSeries ever since.
 
For everything - probably Corsair - I've had 2 of their mech keyboards with cherrymx blue switches in the past & all good... their mice are acceptable.

But I'd really miss my Steelseries mouse, it's the best I've ever had - I have 4 extra in the basement in case they stop making this model.
But I despise the Steelseries keyboards with a vengeance, some of the worst I've used... any keyboard with blue switches is fine by me - I've had Ducky the last few times.

Which mouse have you got? I've only had a Sensei variant as I like the ambidextrous design. I had a Sensei, Sensei 310 which I now use for work, and currently on the Sensei Ten. I was going to buy a Sensei wireless but they discontinued it right before I ordered :(

I've loved my Apex M800 keyboard I've had for the last 6 years or so. Sadly the keycaps have started breaking at the clips, so it's being replaced with an Apex 7. Might use the M800 for work instead of the Apex 150 though :cry:

Rival 710... on my 2nd or 3rd now & I had a 700 before it... tried many over the years & this one fits my hand too perfectly... no RSI after extended use that some have left me with. Hence stocking up in case the 720 or whatever comes next isn't as good for me.

I don't care about or use the little screen or RGB.

Googling the Sensei 310, I don't think I'd get on with it as with that style my pinky finger tends to sit at weird angles and starts aching after a while - which is the same problem I had with my last Corsair mouse & they look to be a similar shape. I think I had the M65.

I pre-ordered the M800 - didn't like it at all, gave it to a friend.
 
I guess my main priority would be the supplier actually selling all the peripherals I need. E.g. Logitech don't do monitors. I think that rules out pretty much everyone except Dell and whatever Chinese company actually makes all this stuff.

Interesting, while technically a monitor is a peripheral, I personally consider it a core part of the PC in the same manner the internal components are.
