so I couldn't find any threads like this so...

 

what's your oldest, every-day peripheral

 

I have just noticed that my sidewinder X8 mouse has gotten to the point where their are points where it's suppose to be mat black, have become shinny

 

and my dad has been using the same mouse and keyboard for his tower that is older than I can remember (literally, he had it longer than I can remember) and the keyboard misses keystrokes on a regular basses, and the rubber scroll wheel on his mouse scrolls so hard that you are always accidentally middle clicking trying to scroll. and he praises it for lasting so long and refuses to buy new peripherals

 

so I was wondering what's your oldest daily driver?

I have speakers that I got used for free that were made in 2002 or so and are using a power brick from a router to power them... that is how i got them and how they have stayed even though the power brick puts out more power then the speakers want lol
