Mionix Naos 7000. Over the years it has proved to be a reliable, super-comfortable, and accurate mouse. I can't imagine using a different mouse daily anymore.

Right here with you!

A few things, my i7 2600 is definitely one. My thinkpad x220 has also lived up to all my expectations despite being refurbished. The logitech g400s is amazing too.

My 290. Still lives (I hope). Needs a BIOS flash but other than that it should be fine xD

I had to resurrect mine but for now it's holding on!

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

My Audio Technica MX50's. Blew the Sennheisers of the same price range out of the freaking water. Every bit as much high end detail, but more bass and actually are over ear and not on ear.

 

They're a bit warm to wear while working, but worth it for the noise they block out.

Definitely my i7-5930k. Having spent only $200 on the chip and $140 on my motherboard, running it at 4.4GHz, there's nothing this chip can't do.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

Parrot Zik 1.0 I bought it barely used on eBay for like 60 pounds and use it every single day. Sound quality is great, app is great, wireless is stable and the features are useful and seamless. Fantastic product way ahead of its time.

Macbook pro 2012 non-retina edition. Puts a SSD in it and now it still works like a champ.

Also Steelseries Sensei. I got it for almost 5 years. Recently bought a G502, nope, not like my sensei. Gonna use it as a backup mouse. 

Sensei is just too good. Now I can't get used to any other mouse out there. 

If it is not broken, let's fix till it is.

Sony MDR-XB50AP

Best earbuds I've ever bought tbh. Good sound, have been through the washer, and still haven't been broken in the two years I've owned them.

I am  also using my Op2 ...so if you get something for free isn't the PPP  infinity?

My Qpad-MK80 mechanical keyboard with cherry blues that only cost me £30 (37USD) 2nd hand in a shop. The LED underneath the colon/semicolon key is broken, but this price for a legit MX blue keyboard was worth every penny.

My $2000 diamond HDMI cable, gold Apple watch. Totally worth every cent. You may laugh but they are better than the cheap common stuff out there. Im that smart and my wealth goes to show. 

Sarcasm?
