I have had this Microsoft Sidewinder keyboard for so long I don't remember when I bought it. Best damn keyboard ever. What do y'all have hanging around that is still used daily?
Still have my sidewinder X4 keyboard but had to retire it as I was tired of fixing the wire as the usb wire breaks just inside the keyboard a little past where it enters but before the white plug on the MB itself. Will fix it properly at some point when I get more solder and maybe some of that moldable plastic stuff or moldable glue.
Got myself a corsair k55 on sale for cheap and so far so good, was a little worried as I read that people had lots of trouble with the corsair k55 on their forums but so far the only issue I had had with it is the that the print lock light has never lit up. I never bothered using the corsair software as I read it has issues with the k55 so maybe it that.
Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
I have a Steelseries Merc Stealth that I bought to replace the original Ideazon Merc that I still have as its back up. Connected to my living room (occasional HT)PC. With a Logitech G9.
That replaced my old Sidewinder X6 that is on PC #3 usually. With a Logitech G7.
I don't use them regularly, but I also have a Logitech G13 and a Wolf King Warrior gamepad that I connect every once in a while for shits and grins.
Use a Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 when I mess with flight sims.
Think the only one I didn't get on a whim because it was dirt cheap on clearance or end of life even back then was the FF2. I got it because I wanted that cutting edge USB stuff instead of the old gameport connection on my original FF stick.
The oldest thing I have on my desk currently is a Logitech gamepad made to imitate a PS2 controller. If I go over in the boxes underneath the tv, though, I've got a gamecube and several game boy cartridges for it.
I want to help design and develop a PvE-focused, solo-friendly, sandpark MMO which combines crafting, monster hunting, and story. So PM me if you are starting one.
Don't actively use them, but held onto a couple Apple IIe.

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse. - FARGIN_WAR

Thats the upgraded version of the C64, not the old bullnose one as they described them, cases were same for vic 20 c16 c64 just different colours. but hey if it aint broken why fix it i suppose.
Just got a smartphone a few years ago. When one of my young 18 y/o employees asked me "what's that?" referring to my flip phone....I figured it was time.

Really?! Dang, even I feel old at 31 when I hear stories like this. I mean I was nto around when rotary phones were a thing, but I still know what they are. I mean, hell, I wasn't even a thought when the Commodore was a thing, but I still know what it is.
For me I think the oldest tech I have currently on my desk would be my Logitech G600 mouse. Best mouse on the planet IMO.

Probably thought the flip phone was a Star Trek communicator.

Ha lol Just wait till you go out shopping somewhere and a 20/25 year old young lady opens the door for you and says, "After you Sir" for the first time...you're 31 so it's coming and will happen sooner than you think, lmao

Or the sad day when you pull out your ID to buy alcohol and the clerk waves you off because they feel you easily look to be over 40. (Or whatever the cut off age)
Wait, there's worse, when the clerks start offering you the senior citizen discount and you are still in your early 50s.
Even though I'm 61 I still snarl at them if offered the 65 and older discount, and insist on paying the full price.
Maybe I need a sweet young thing on my arm to help with my image.....

Gut Out!
What, me worry?
When they first came out they cost about $100 per box of 10 so my company rationed them, giving each of us one disk.
Hey, I still use them...as a paperweight.
Wait, many here have no idea why there would be such a thing.

The surge protection wears out fairly quickly or so I've read.
