In esports, peripherals are everything.
From mice to keyboards, monitors and even mousepads, gamers will go out of their way to customize practically any part of their setup, in hopes that it might give them some sort of advantage over their opponents.
But not everyone cares to use the newest and shiniest, custom peripherals out there.
Hell, some of us enjoy living in the past.
But very few players have managed to compete, and even win, on esports’ biggest stages while using peripherals that are, well… out of the ordinary.
And when they do manage to make it work, it’s often quite spectacular.
So on this week’s episode of Cracked we’re taking a look at some of the weirdest peripherals ever used in esports. Are some of them actually viable or were they only used as a joke?

I had fatality sign it after he won the AvP Championship (the 1st price was a pimped out AvP Ford Focus) good times edit: I also cut into the side of my MS "laser" mouse the have better grip for lifting it and taped two mouse pads together.. since "giant" mouse pads weren't a thing yet back then ;)

@patrickbone5993 Год назад

I don't use weird peripherals but I run a unique control setup for games. Instead of the normal KBM setup, where left click is shoot, space is jump, and you hold the right mouse button to aim. I have space set to shoot, left click set to jump, and right mouse for toggled aim.

@shaxieqq 2 года назад

Always had X for weapon swap between my last used weapons on any game i play because i feel its the easiest way to swich weapons, And in league (and any game that has abilities) i use my ult by pressing the mouse button. The reason being that i found it really frustrating early on when i played league from the start, to use my ulti and accidentaly move my mouse a bit before to miss a skillshot etc. So it made sense to me that presing a button on my mouse will make it more accurate. People say its the stupidest shit they ever heard. XD But its great to find even one or two keybinds that just "make sense" to you personally.

@fredit123456789 2 года назад

I have very large hands, and when I say very large I mean it. I have a K95 keyboard and am able to cover the left side of it (with all the letters and so), except for the macro buttons and function keys, if I place my hand horizontally across it. Luckily my fingers are rather skinny so the keys don't have to be extra large. But this makes finding peripherals an absolute pain in the ass. Keyboards are usually fine, I just have to have my palm on the wrist rest instead of my wrist. But mouses are horrible. I bought a steelseries wow mouse when I was younger and that worked very well and has been the only mouse that has not caused my hand to cramp after a bit. This is probably in part because of me getting used to it over such a long time so the way I held it probably helped negate cramps. Recently however it started acting up and sadly they aren't made anymore. The best option I could find was a Corsair Scimitar. My hand does cramp up after a while even with it but it's the best one I've found.

I think my newest peripheral is a hyper x headset. I have to use old stuff bc mice have different feelings and new mice feel cheap and garbage (including Gpro mice and m660) plus I'm very rough with mice and keyboard. Seems only steel series keyboard can withstand how I play. I've broke a g series ducky and k series lux corsair mainly the space bar, 1-3 keys, F, and E keys I tend to break the damn plastic clips under the cap or the spring bar under the cap of spacebar bc I mash with force or slam with my palm on the bar when in the zone.
