killamch89 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I’ve been thinking about how often to replace gaming accessories like a mouse, keyboard, or even a headset. Some people seem to hold on to theirs until they break, while others seem to upgrade every year or so. What’s your replacement cycle? Do you go for durability or are you always looking for the latest features? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I usually hang on to things either until they stop working, or until they are outdated to the point where an upgrade would make my life easier. I haven't replaced anything in my desk setup recently, but the last thing I got was a wireless mechanical keyboard. Before I upgraded I had one wired tenkeyless mechanical keyboard for my main PC, and one wireless keyboard with a numpad for working from home. I decided to upgrade in order to get a wireless mechanical one with a numpad that was able to connect to multiple devices at the same time. Now I only need to use one keyboard, and I can switch between my main PC and my work PC at the push of a button. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually hang on to my stuff until they need replacing because they're no longer functional or are outdated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I typically replace my gaming accessories every couple of years. I value durability but also enjoy upgrading for new features occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
