I should emphasize that this is a personal opinion article and the peripherals I consider to be the best are for me, but they don’t necessarily have to be the best for you either. However, I will also give you the reasons why I decided to stay and use one or the other, and maybe my recommendation will help you if you are in a situation like mine.
The best peripherals for my daily life
First of all, I need to put you in situation. I work in front of the PC between 8 and 10 hours a day, mainly typing, editing images, browsing the Internet and managing my emails. A job like any other, but in which I put a lot of effort, particularly on the keyboard, and to a lesser extent on the mouse, but also on headphones, since I often put on music or have to attend conferences or meetings .
Then in the afternoon I’m a regular player of PC games, notably Black Desert Online, which is an MMORPG in which combos are performed in combination with the keyboard and mouse, so both devices have a lot of fun. Likewise, I am usually in Discord with colleagues while gaming, so I also use headphones a lot.
The keyboard: Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro / Corsair K70 RapidFire LP
Until a few months ago, my favorite keyboard was the Corsair K70 RapidFire LP, a full-size mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Speed Low Profile switches, perhaps the fastest keyboard on the market but also the easiest to perform unintentional keystrokes. So much so that at one point I spilled a soda on the keyboard, it broke and I ran out to buy one exactly like the one I had.
However, it fell into my hands Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro which you can see in the image above, a keyboard that is not as fast as the Corsair but much faster than a classic mechanical keyboard. Since I write a lot of text, I’m interested in fast keyboards that don’t make too much noise and don’t require a lot of force on the keys to activate them to reduce fatigue, and this keyboard gave me all this with the added fact of being wireless, which for me is always a Pro.
It’s true that it’s not as fast as the Corsair, and it also lacks USB Passthrough. Plus, no matter what Razer says, its battery actually lasts a little more than a day, but since I don’t mind plugging it in at night to recharge, not that it’s a downside. Without a doubt, either of these two keyboards would be my personal recommendation for people who use their PC all day, especially if they have to type a lot but also want a great keyboard for gaming.
Unfortunately the Corsair K70 RapidFire LP is already discontinued (and I’ve spoken with Corsair and they have no plans to renew it), while the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro is very hard to find available on es_ES. Sometimes there are small quantities in their online store and you can buy it, but not at the moment so we’re not even going to link to it.
The best mouse is the one that doesn’t give you problems
As for the mouse, I have to tell you about one made of lime and another made of sand. I spent quite a bit of time using a Logitech G903 light speed and I was very happy with it, the battery lasted over two weeks, it has many configurable buttons and in general it performs phenomenally (plus infinite scrolling and 4D is amazing to work with), but it is There came a point where the left click broke for me (I could click, but not press and hold because it would “come loose”).
When this started happening to me, and since the mouse was already out of warranty, I decided to buy one Logitech G Pro. It didn’t have a 4D wheel, nor infinite scrolling, it had fewer buttons and what’s more, the battery barely lasted 5 days, but I was happy with it because I realized that being much lighter, it made me less tired (especially during long gaming sessions). . However, the scroll of this mouse broke after less than 5 months of use, so I had to use the “warranty”, and I put it in quotes because with Logitech it was impossible and in the end I I had to fight to get Amazon to give me a refund.
However, since I had to throw away an old mouse while I fixed the G Pro problem, I plugged in an old Razer Lancehead Tournament Edition that I’ve had for many years and generally only use to take with me. my laptop when I go on vacation. And since it took two weeks before Amazon fixed the problem, I had already gotten used to the Lancehead TE again and, honestly, I was happy and decided I didn’t need to buy another mouse.
Okay, it’s a wired mouse, but it’s pretty light, it’s great for my grip type (claw type), and it has a ton of configurable buttons that are perfect for Black Desert Online. The truth is that I am not going to change it until it breaks, and it is certainly a mouse that I recommend, although at the moment it is also discontinued.
With the headphones, I have no doubts.
You should know that a few years ago I worked in a professional dubbing studio, and this made me acquire a lot of knowledge about audio equipment and made me almost a very demanding audiophile. And the truth is that in recent years I have tried quite a few headphones, many of them with very good sound, but I have no doubt in telling you that I will stick to the Corsair Virtuoso XT.
I must admit that when they came on the market I tried the Virtuoso Pro They seemed better to me in terms of sound quality, but when you get used to wireless headphones you find yourself in the position where you don’t want wired ones anymore, it always bothers, that’s why I continued with the Virtuoso XT.
These headphones are not only comfortable enough to be worn all day without problem, but they also have excellent sound (it is Hi-Res, from 20 Hz to 40 KHz unlike the more normal ones) and a microphone of a quality that has little or nothing. to envy of desktop microphones. In addition, the battery lasts all day and that for me is a very big Pro.
What about the rest of the peripherals? Which are the best?
So far I have told you about the keyboard, mouse and headphones that suit me best, but obviously the ecosystem of a PC is also made up of other peripherals like the monitor, speakers, chair or other things. I won’t go into detail like I did with the first three, but I will list the rest of the things I use on a daily basis:
- Speakers: Razer Leviathan (first generation, now discontinued). This is a 5.1 soundbar with a dedicated subwoofer that sounds great and is ideal for placing under the monitor.
- Monitors: As my main monitor, I use a Dell Ultrasharp S2721DGF, with a 27-inch IPS matrix and 1440p resolution, 165 Hz with G-Sync and (I think) 3 ms response time, which is ideal for gaming. As a secondary monitor, I have a ASUS PB278QV which was basically the cheapest 27 inch 1440p height adjustable monitor available at the time I needed it.
- Sila: Believe it or not, after testing dozens of gaming chairs, including the most premium models, I finally settled on an ergonomic office chair, specifically the Hinomi H1 Pro V2. Ultimately, when you spend as many hours sitting in front of the PC as I do, having an ergonomic chair affects your health.
