Well... it's certainly better than what I use.

You mean peripherals..

[Domino 3,168]

I think when it comes to peripherals, there's not a 'better' - for example at 5'1 I have tiny hands, so I opt towards smaller sized keyboards/mice. I have used a mouse before where I wasnt able to click the mouse buttons because my fingers were too small to reach them properly. (it was a very big oddly shaped mouse) likewise with keyboards, the slimlined ones work better for me. 

 

As for headsets, I always go for this type: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-PC363D-Surround-Over-Ear-Headset-Black/dp/B008O515CK/ref=sr_1_13?m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1424083032&sr=1-13

 

As my ears fit completely inside the hollow part, allowing me to wear stud earrings while gaming. (Sigh girls!)

 

As for monitor - currently using the 24 " one my parents got me last xmas, and my 2nd one broke. Upgrading my PC and getting a 27" monitor as my main this spring/summer. Currently saving for this.

Up until the summer last year when I actually got a job, I'd been using a cheap mouse and keyboard combo that I picked up in Tesco. I still use the same keyboard, it's just that my mouse now has more buttons. I have a headset but it's nothing special and I only wear it when I am forced to use VoIP because the ear-bits squash my glasses into the side of my head. It's a hard-knock life.

You wear glasses?!

Quite stylishly, might I add.

I have a Razer (Deathadder) mouse and I'm very happy with it so far.  I've heard good things about the SteelSeries gear.  I have a non mechanical keyboard which is illuminated and very quiet which I prefer.  Nice gear though...I think it takes everyone a while to find their preference.

Really?! That is cheating! Ur mouse is way to OP. Nerf it.

Obviously some peripherals are considered good or Bad techwise, but for you it should be important if you get along with your setup.

I got a completely new setup cause my other one simply didn't suit my hands and playstyle.

If you got money and want to upgrade, get a 120/160hz monitor. In my expirience gettong a better monitor was the biggest plus.

Dell keyboard and dell mouse xD

Just get what you can afford and feels comfortable. Peripherals won't instantly make you a better gamer, but it will surely enhance your comfort on using the gear.

 

My stuff:

Mouse: SteelSeries Rival

Not a bad mouse, used to have a Logitech G500 until it died (RIP). My brother also has a rival and he likes it.

 

Keyboard: CM Storm QF Rapid TK Reds

I'd probably get a different key type, maybe blues for the click lol. But I'll definitely stick with a tenkeyless to keep room on my desk available. Plus I have a 10key USB somewhere laying around.

 

Mousepad: SteelSeries QcK Heavy

I used to have the regular QcK, but the heavy is almost 2x larger or so and thicker, love this to no end with my semi-low sens.

 

Headset: Logitech G930

I would not recommend these. I've gone through about 4 of these, luckily Logitech support is decent. I'd actually suggest if you want a good audio and a mic get actual headphones and a standalone microphone for cheap, or splurge and get a snowball mic or w/e.

 

Monitors: BenQxl2420te @144Hz, and ASUS VG278HE 27" @144Hz

Monitors are amazing, once you go 120/144Hz you'll never wanna go back. That said. 1080p on 27" feels weird to me so I use the ASUS as a side monitor. I probably don't need to have it at 144hz as a side monitor, but you'll know how ugly dragging windows is at 60Hz.

 

^^Just proof you can have good gear and be bad
