If you could only use one peripheral brand?

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

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:

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.

That's my thinking too, I've never even considered a monitor as technically being a peripheral

I've avoided Razer, I know a few people who have had Razer and the build quality was shocking, one person bought a new Deathadder every time warranty expired because all 3 of them died as soon as warranty was over :cry:

Logitech. It’s really not that close either.

Got their doorbell and cameras as well, so goes beyond the PC stuff as well.

I had no idea they even did doorbells etc! Disappointed with Ring tbh

I was able to upgrade my Apex M800 after 4 keycaps broke (they used flimsy square clips instead of the regular cross Switch).

Now using an Apex 7 to continue my SimpSeries journey

Some real Logitech love in here! The last Logitech product I owned was the MX518
