I recently bought an HD PVR (one of those hauppauge things every gaming youtuber used circa 2010) at a thrift store for $5, I'm never going to get any serious use out of it and only bought it due to meme recognition, so the answer would have to be that

Gaming headphones by my guild.

Wait, scratch that. The ABSOLUTE worst gaming accessory that I was memed into buying was a wireless mouse.

When batteries are low, you don't see spurts of dead activity, you just see very low performance. So when you use a powerful laser mouse, with normal batteries, you see a mouse that barely wants to respond properly.

I bought a headset for voice chat, even though I rarely if ever use voice chat. Not because I'm one of those crybabies that go on and on about tfw no friends and social anxiety, but because I listen to a lot of audiobooks and doing both simultaneously is pretty much impossible.

And here I was thinking spending 50 euro on a headset was a waste.

Thats definitely too much for headphones.

What's the advantage of $1500 headphones though? My 5.1 Custom One Pro headphones I got for (I think) $150 like 3 years ago have pretty good audio quality.

Added to wishlist

you're still retarded

basically zero difference. audiophiles are fucking retarded.

I mean it's relatively low as far as high end consumer products go. What else do you spent 1500 dollars on that you use every single day and fully appreciate? Maybe a car but certainly not most technology
You get to listen to audio the way it was meant to be listened to. It's hard to explain but for example, it can turn a heavy metal song into a song that sounds like a train speeding past you mere inches away. It just feels so much better.

No one said anything about road feel, the reason fast cars/race cars have small wheels is it's faster, you wouldn't be able to corner in a touring car if you needed two full wheel rotations

Larger wheels allow more precise movements more easily

You do get more control over steering angle with a bigger wheel as it's easier to make small and precise adjustments with a bigger wheel.

There was a time when controllers were intentionally designed like that, believe it or not.

lol. At least the analog sticks look like they're made out of better quality material than the actually PS4 controllers.

OG PS3 didn't needed this

does it not overheat? or the fat ps3 go broke for another reason ala original xbox clock capacitor?

A game boy worm light. I wanted a light for my gb. My mom saw one at the store when I bought Oracle of Ages. But the worm light was total shit. As soon as I bought it I realized my mistake.

It overheats.
My PS3 disk reader fried when it overheated one summer.

mine only died last year after more than 10 years of use, always left it turned upside and never used anything like that. some units indeed died of overheating problems, but it was because the PSU was placed just above the motherboard and it fucked up its CPU. using shit like that wouldn't have helped anyone. the slim model I think don't have any critical problems since the PSU is positioned at the back part of the console.

This dumb thing and a cheap mechanical keyboard that was loud as fuck, had that problem where certain combinations of buttons couldn't be pressed at the same time, had a backspace button the size of a normal key, didn't seem to have any upside compared to a $10 membrane keyboard, and still cost significantly more than that.

It just has terrible airflow and easily get clogged with dust. If yours isn't dead yet and you've got some time, crack it open and clean it out. It'll probably last another decade.

thanks now i feel even more dumb

Don't diss the Track Ir man
I've been using the same set for like 5 years now and holy fuck has it been worth it.

worked for me
used to hide under the covers and keep playing

What dac amp?

Oh God, I cant fucking unsee it now!

that's an image I already had made.. agreed on all counts TIR is probably the best thing I've ever bought
if you're into piston plens this thing's amazing as well (when you fix it's shitty build quality)

Mmmm I'm not that into flightsimming and shit yet so I've just been running my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro about as long as I've been using the Trackir
It's beautiful until it starts getting tilting in a direction when not in use. Also really need one that's left handed.

That's too much on snapheisers, a real pair of ear speakers on the other hand...

gamecube one was a definite improvement if only due to link capabilities
if they all had a speed up option like Pokemon Stadium's it'd be worth a lot more

They're crap, don't know why I listened to my friend who recommended them, he likes the live action Resident Evil movies and Anime

Shit was sooooo wackk. Did not give me the good vibe fuzzies like the og TC. And those sensor pads? Fucking chewy lame.

sega 32x. i almost ruined my cdx and it had nogaems

This fucking thing have my dick rugburn even with lube. Came in it quite a few times before I trashed it tho.

This fucking stupid $150 controller.

I really thought Vive Trackers ($100 alone) would come to be must-have accessories as waist+feet tracking become more well supported in games (it never has, the entire Tracker concept seems to be abandoned), and the gun itself was straight-up false advertised at the time as having special force feedback (it just has a simple rumble, so less than the normal wands) and "full" wand controllers (IT DOESN'T HAVE A WORKING ANALOG INPUT!). It's also a horribly uncomfortable brick of a controller, genuinely painful to use for extended periods, and with no strap.

VR ain't a meme but this piece of shit sure was.

What does the game/voice switch do?

Nothing. I bought the massage cushion in pic related and it made my vidya time extra comfy.

They're not stupid and work pretty well for stuff like FPS games etc.

It's just that they are a lot less comfortable than not having them, since your thumb(s) are higher. They also tend to leave marks on your original stick where they attach.

>Logitech Extreme 3D Pro
it's a good stick, but I fucking hate the way the rudder control is implemented within the stick itself
>roll slightly to the right
>the rotation ALWAYS registers the movement and you yaw as well even if you don't want to

best part is that it's so cheap you just buy a new one when it starts going bad every few years.. it's really the patrician choice

Did it work?

I had one of these but it was worthless
it drained so much battery i would only get about 10 minuets before the gb died

Fuck yeah. Best 40 bucks I've every spent.

It gets into the muscles really well and it heats up for extra comfy.

I use it in my shoulders, back, neck, legs and even on my glutes.

Razer BlackShark but they were discontinued since they were actually decent for the price

the only ones you'll find are 2 or 3 times the original price

well, I can tune off myself from it most of the time but whenever I stress my ears a bit (going to a concert/club, going to the range) it flares up for a couple of days and drives me up the walls

Why? They're not very comfortable or good I use those exact ones at work

because my existence is a cruel and unusual hell and I crave tactile escapism

regular gamer gear with RGB lights all over it doesn't do it for me

Im seriously considering blowing 400$ on a real one and using a adaptor

>What is the dumbest video game accessory you were meme'd into buying?
...Myself.

My dentist had one of these. Blew my mind when I was 8 years old

Astro a50 headphones. absolute garbage.

So annoying. I'm gonna figure out a way to mod it so I sit flat. I'd rather be slightly leaned back then this shit

tfw your controller have tits

Anyone remember the Ouya? Yeah...

Go tape some audio enhancer crystals on your headphones, fruitcake.

I got a couple pair free when I bought a PS3 (I think) controller online. Use them on my original PS4 controller because the tops of the sticks had worn off. They are the normal height ones on the left and they do the trick.

Hope you're doing okay, Kris. It's pointless trying to make it on YouTube nowadays, it's all marketing and demographics now.

these things are based
i recommend them to anyone
i have em on my ps4, xbone and switch

those cylinders are ugly tho, you can find much sleeker kinds

That's not me, I just remember his video coming out right around the same time and laughing at it.

I bought aluminum alloy thumbsticks for my DS4 and don't regret the purchase, except for the calluses formed on my thumbs.

That seems like a pretty good reason to regret it though

It's a good thing your mom only charges $45

hmmm I wonder how hard it would be to take the guts out of my logitech beater and put them inside a broken one from ebay?

RESEARCH BEGINS

So what are the best headsets for gaming? Price and quality?

Ive used Bose extensively for over a decade, I know its a bit overpriced but I had a local store with lifetime warranty so id legit only need to buy a new headset like 3 times over 15 years. Now I dont live near one and mines fallen apart. Quality is great but the lining and shit is all empty.

>i slowly slide off unless im sitting straight up
you sound like a fatass.
I had the same issue with a chair I had. Solution: getting a new chair, more suitable for big butts like mine

Already have calluses on my left hand from playing stringed instruments, so its fine.

I don't see the connection but okay. Its just a shitty design imo, something that engineers come up with on paper that doesn't work out in real life

classic snes nes and genesis games are shitty?

this statement hinges on what you mean by audiophile. $1000+ hdmi/sata/power/speaker cables or just liking good sound with balanced response and exceptional clarity?

where is an xlr audio interface for 12 dollars?

my computer was too trash to emulate anything back then
it was like shovelware shit only

Are racing chairs really not that good? I got one for Christmas and it seems nice.

ahh. i remember doing it on a p1 233mhz but also got a virus from some bogus romsites that ruined the BIOS chip, my uncle had to fix it for us cuz i was (or am?) too brainlet

bump

i have that chair. it's actually nice if you disconnect the small boxes at the top and only leave the bass box, then use it with headphones,
Really nice to have good sound with bass in your back
