>Why does every peripheral have to be "for gaming"
Because this is what brings in a lot of money.
>Can someone recommend me just a regular mouse and keyboard
Literally anything generic

You can find a mouse in the dumpster if you just want to click on stuff. Just clean it before use.

Both shit and only for the looks

Honestly, when it comes to a mouse, the gamer shit is actually good. Gamer mice have features like increased comfort (they play for hours and hours), precise sensors (because fast twitch reactions are apparently a thing) and extra buttons that can be programmed for a multitude of non-gaming tasks.

I also use a gaming keyboard (Logitech G510) because it's got a small LCD screen at the top that with the libg15 library I'm able to pipe any data I want to that display. It's like having a 4 line terminal.

You can slap a gaming logo on a product and jack up the price like crazy.

Here is a good example

10oz can of duster:
http://www.staples.com/Dust-Off-XL-Disposable-Duster/product_416701

The same can of 10oz can of duster from the exact same company with a "gaming" logo on the can instead of the normal one:
http://www.staples.com/Falcon-Dust-Off-Gaming-Gear-Duster-10-oz/product_325070

That is a 21.3% markup. This isn't an isolated case either, find any store that sells both of these products and the gaming can of air will have significant markup.

God bless gamers. They are walking example of Darwin's law.

I'm hard pressed to think of something I need less in my keyboard.

RAM is worst for this tbqh
I don't want neon red spoiler fins and the words "VENGENCE STRIKE ANGER X420 PAYBACK" imprinted on it.

>>56241454
Gaming is the cancer of hardware aesthetics. Every thing with the "gaming" prefix literally looks like it fell out of a Mountain Dew commercial.

Meh, the vengeance strike anger x420 line has been great for me
