Almost every day I see a new thread asking our members about input on keyboards, mice, etc. Most of the time people start new threads asking for opinions about a specific device. What I’m thinking here is we will create a comprehensive list of links to reviews of the popular devices of our gaming enthusiasts. So this is simple. I will go through, and link some reviews of the stuff we all use for your reading pleasure. You guys can make suggestions on what you like, or what I miss, and we’ll get it up here. That way we will now have one thread that everyone can go to, and make their purchasing decisions on our thoughts. This is ALWAYS what I do before I buy any new device.
I encourage you to make threads on devices to ask questions, use this as your first stop.
