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

[john andersen]

the second screen i use it is a 15 year old sasung, good enough for shiwing youtube or have a browser open on, for googling if needed.

A 5 year old keyboard.

I think you're the oldest peripheral attached to your PC buddy

We can call that peripheral as keyboard&mouse actuator.

I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Force feedback 2 stick from the early 2000s. I used to regularly use it in Battlefield but it doesn't get much use since Battlefield went downhill.

My mate has one of those still, the build quality and force feedback on it is outstanding.

Unfortunately mine has a bit of an issue with the trigger as it feels very spongy

An IBM Model M that was manufactured in July 1989.

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.

I'm still using one too. I bought it in the MM in 2010. The service menu shows 65535 hours (highest number it can show) and has done for some time now.

Probably my f60 SSD as a usb drive, at this point I'm amazed it's still going.

Unmantle it and de-spongify.

MS optical USB mouse. I bought three of them in the early noughties & one is my 'daily driver'. The other two I don't use much, one is for my laptop & the other is backup for the other 2. Still working despite being almost 20 years old. the main one does get clogged up with dust & dirt, one scrub with an old toothbrush & a wet wipe, its good as new.

Until 2 weeks ago a 2017 Arctic Series mouse Rival 100, I think.
I don’t keep things for too long.
Sorry, missed my trusted Microsoft Xbox Controller from 2013.

 

[Dreadi]

Speakers from the very early 2000s

 

[Mel_P]

still going strong. As is the i7 920-based PC it's connected to.

My "main" pc ( because of all things installed) is an i7 920. Must have built it 12 years ago?

 

[Alan McFall]

Only used in 2.1 though, haven't even tested 5/7.1 for a few years tbh.

 

[NewbieOneKenobi]

JVC MX-J500 stereo. Twenty-one years.

I've also recently used an ancient half-gigabyte USB stick and a very old USB bluetooth emitter. Also have a 29 y.o. keyboard on a sort of permanent loan from my step-father.

 

[cheesyboy]

17 year old 4:3 ratio 21" monitor.
18 year old Microsoft keyboard

The power switch is from a 1989 386 DX and back then PC were about 5000 if cheap, I got a PC magazine from that time somewhere still. I figured its the most expensive part I own I also got a MS 'flightstick' it was old when I got it, MS dont make these no more ? Start of the century old - https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/joysticks-flight-simulation,386-4.html


18 year old Microsoft keyboard - I do use better but still have one from 2000 cost £5 back then and the company put a £5 stamp on the package to send it to me. Again I have the 386 keyboard as its built proper but the connector doesnt hook up easily so not used.

 

[Blackjack Davy]
