Best Gaming Accessories?

Vod

Hello!

I'm building a new pc, but I've found one problem, I don't know and good gaming equipment (mouse, keyboard etc.)

I'm a gamer, and I would like accessories for gaming.

One quick note, I don't care if the item has rgb or not, I don't really care about the looks, I just care about its build quality and how good is it.

Budgets:
For a mouse I wouldn't pay over $20,

A mechanical keyboard for around $30, if thats not possbile than I'll take anything else,

For the headphones, I wouldn'y pay over $50, I'll mostly be listening to music and if it would have suround sound what whould be great,

I whould like a big mousepad that can go underneath my keyboard and mouse.

"gaming" peripherals are largely a scam TBH.  unless you like the aesthetic.  My MS Scuplt keyboard works just as well as my old MX Blue Logitech Gaming keyboard as far as i can tell.  Same with my MS ergo, just as well as my last "gaming" mouse.

 

Sure, i dont have RGB, but... meh.

since when is RGB a "gamer" feature? i mean... it's not like it somehow adds to the game that your keyboard is puking rainbows.

youll have to take that up with the marketing departments.  If its got RGB, its automatically a "gaming" whatever.

 

That said, I have had games change the color of my G633s based on in-game events.  They are headphones, so the RGB is on my ears, which i cant see, but... thats neat i guess??

Keyboard and mouse (feels like a mechanical!)

For under $20 gaming mouse, get Logitech G300S. It's the best mouse at this price range. Fully programmable buttons with total 9 buttons on it. 2500 DPI optical sensor. Plus small RBG on its side

For real mechanical keyboard at $30 range get Original Cherry MX-Board 2.0 keyboard. It's a generic real mechanical keyboard by Cherry itself with many type of switch choices. I got one for around $35 with the red switch. You might get under $30 now tho.

And for $50 headphones get Corsair HS50
