    It’s really hit or miss with the mice. All of mine lasted several years or more but I know some models are pretty bad. I had a copperhead that lasted a while, then a naga “green” that didn’t last very long but I could probably fix (I think the PCB inside came off its fixations and then some soldering broke) but to be fair it did travel across the Atlantic ocean and back. My current naga with the magnetic panels has been going strong for some years.

    Their gamepads are junk though, a good old 360 controller feels better and lasts infinitely longer. I’ve also owned a few pairs of kraken headsets which were comfortable but overpriced and not durable enough. Then again the other gaming brands aren’t fairing much better on that front (I currently have a corsair virtuoso I got as a gift, it’s ok but the planned obsolescence ear pads are driving me nuts). The keyboards look like they’re gamer status symbols more than anything else, just like the laptops. I got a cheapo mechanical keyboard from some random brand and it feels better than the 200€+ razer keyboards I’ve tried.
