which peripherals is most important

[ninjanightwing]

I have a fixed budget and I need to cheap out one some

[Paralectic]

Mouse/Keyboard is important but all personal preference.

[arronleeds]

headphones/headset, no doubt.

[SkywardKkalox]

Monitor is the most important imo. 

[Mao_Zedong]

None are that important. You can spend more on one, but it won't improve your performance by that much. If you give us a budget and what types of things you want, we can give some recommendations.

So long as you have another device and dont mind using SSH or RDP to remote in, and you dont ABSOLUTELY NEED a monitor, id say the most important thing is Mouse and Keyboard.

What is your budget? Maybe i can whip something up Also im assuming you already have a monitor? Tell me which peripherals you already have (what you have like what type of mouse) and what you need

For gaming?

#1 mouse - Super important

#2 monitor - for competitive FPS gaming, 144hz is pretty important, for everything else, a standard 60hz panel is fine.

#3 headset - important to have and work, not really anything else

#4 Keyboard - a $5 USB keyboard is fine. Makes no difference. This isn't your mouse where positional tracking is super important and precision is key. It's just a collection of buttons.

Theyre all important, least important for most things I would say is a pair of headphones.

You can play w/o -

Mouse

KB

Monitor

 

A lot of games can go without a headset, considering a lot of monitors have built in sound, sure it may be bad audio but its better than no audio, and its better than not having a mouse or keyboard to play with at all...

Keyboard makes a big difference, between a cheap acer keyboard to a high end mechanical one

Nope. Difference in feel, yes, but difference in your ability to play games and play them well? Not a bit of difference.

 

I'm a SMFC in CSGO using a crappy $5 USB keyboard. My mouse is great and I have a 144hz display as those matter, but keyboard? Nope.

For me it is, having a keyboard that feels good is important, and and the tactile feedback that lets you know when youve clicked the button, just ask anyone, keyboard is important

[iamdarkyoshi]

Monitor is the most important imo. 

you ninja'd me. dammit. I guess a USER could technically be considered a peripheral?

[minibois]

All.

Keyboard, Mouse, headset (or headphones + mic) and monitor if you count that

He's talking about cost cutting places to save. Keyboard is EASILY the thing that is least important. Tactile feedback? My $5 keyboard has that. They're called physical buttons. They go downwards when you push them.

 

Sorry for being so snarky, it's just you sound like some guy with a million dollar yacht saying that comfort is super important on your long distance travels. It's a luxury and doesn't help your game at all.

It is important, i didnt always have a good gaming pc with a good keyboard, and when i tried my buddys keyboard it was like heaven and it felt better, and it was easier to play games, i didnt bitch beacuse i didnt have it myself.

[Whorax]

Mouse is most important.

[Exploded117]

A MICROPHONE. PLEASE BUY A MICROPHONE.

 

(If you've ever played CS:GO, you know what I mean.)

 

You can LITERALLY get one for 5 bucks that comes with a bonus webcam. But, yet, a THIRD of the CS:GO community thinks that their razer naga (pro FPS mouse btw, the best one ever for FPS) is more important. Staring at my minimap 24/7 because no one has a mic kinda takes away from my shooting people.

 

My little rant is over. You can scroll down now......
