This month I've been testing: Keyboards, headphones, controllers and mice. Oh, I've also fallen into an all-consuming Satisfactory obsession, from which my brain has struggled to return. A good chance to test out some peripherals, though—and the limits of my patience at the same time.
If you're looking for a new gaming peripheral, be that a controller, joystick, mouse or keyboard, it can be easy to become bogged down in the spec sheets. After all, you're likely to be looking for the best bang for your buck, and as a result, there's a slew of peripherals available that throw the kitchen sink at you in terms of extra features. Keyboards and controllers with dubiously useful screens. Mice with trick scroll wheels. Flight sticks with, well, every sort of switchgear imaginable bolted to the controls.
