StaceyPowers Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 While looking at @mont86's thread on gaming chairs, I got to wondering how much people here are willing to spend/have spent on gaming chairs, headphones, peripherals and other accessories? I have honestly spent almost nothing in this department, if we don’t count simply replacing controllers when they die (and even then, I usually opt for cheap third party hardware). I just don’t have the cash to spend on anything other than a few games now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I’ve never been big on accessories. Unless there’s a game I want that requires it, I don’t buy them. But even then, the only accessories I have ever owned are the NES Zapper and the occasional turbo controller. Unless you count a rumble pack for the N64.

skyfire Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I think this year I may consider spending some money. Though I don't have anything in mind what and how much to spend during the christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mont86 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 How long do controllers usually last ? I know everybody is different in the amount of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyDay Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) I count on Christmas and my birthday for accessories. Not that I have many accessories. I don't have a gaming chair yet, but am wishing for one for Christmas this year. Hoping my boyfriend comes through, for the sake of my back. Other than that I have a good headset (birthday present). My monitor I bought almost ten years ago along with the computer, but it's decent. I haven't really thought about getting a real gamer mouse and keyboard. I have no idea how much of a difference it makes? I do however plan on a new computer, though that might wait until after Christmas, where the prices might drop. Waiting is so hard though!

kingpotato Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I'm not really into accessories as well, the only accessories that I have ever purchased was the Kinect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I don't know if this counts as an accessory or not, but I have a Game Genie for NES, SNES, Sega, and a Game Shark for N64. I buy them because after a while the games get too easy. So I put in codes to amp up the difficulty so I have a little bit of a challenge at games that I've mastered.

I've worn glasses my whole life, so that's maybe why I don't understand the theory, but why would that help? I'm not making fun or anything that, just curious. Back on topic. As for me, I'm not big on accessories. Most of it is gimmicky bullshit. There's the usual headsets and stuff, but I mostly like to spend my money on games. I am, however, thinking about investing in a more functional gaming mouse, so if anyone has a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only saying this for your own good. If your straining your eyes enough to require a gaming light, you REALLY should be wearing glasses or contacts at the very least. Especially if your driving.

The Blackangel Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) I started wearing glasses in my mid 20's. I didn't realize just how bad my vision was at the time until I put my glasses on for the first time. Now my vision is so bad, that anything over 2½ feet is so blurry, I can't tell what it is if I'm not familiar with it. My optometrist has told me that it's a possibility that I may be legally blind by the time I'm 50. Also macular degeneration seems to run in my family, so that's another thing I have to worry about, as if I didn't have enough fucking health problems as it is.

SaucyPastaTho Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Only accessories I deem required would be a good headset ( on consoles and PC.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Headset and the MIC like say Yeti would be defiitely worth investing into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
