A game pad and a joystick is all I've ever used. As for mice I've always been happy with the 10-year old corded mice, I've never had any problems with them, unlike the fancy laser wireless stuff. I've always had either simple earbuds or full on over the ear headphones because my roommate likes quiet.

Hey don't laugh!, the older hands and I have been through so much together, and I don't like the new model. Do you know of a way to replace the rubber pads on the fingertips?, then I could keep my old hands ;D.

What?, don't your hands have the rubber pads?. You must be using a very old model.
