Starting at $200 used, new ones have sold for up to a grand. Highest tier peripheral since the Power Glove.[/QUOTE]

I find Razer mice to be deeply unreliable - had a Copper head, which developed button problems after a year, and died after two. Meanwhile, my trust predator mouse (Which got switched to another computer) lasted 6 years, and was more comfortable as well.

Loving the Saitek Eclipse (not the Eclipse II) keyboard.

My Mouse is a low-mid end Logitech wireless mouse. Not built for gaming, but good for browsing. Likewise my Keyboard (a Logitech Wave) isn't made for gaming, but is good for typing on which was far more important a use when I was doing my dissertation. As Gaming peripherals go I have a Logitech (all my stuff is Logitech because they're good, and cheap) G13 Gameboard. A mini keypad which is reprogramable to a variety of key layouts.

Yesterday I was this close to ordering a Logitech G19 keyboard for £99. It's got a colour LCD screen in it for God's sake. Cool, but I regained my senses before pressing "Buy". Good deal as they usually retail for £130+.

I have a X8 mouse and G15 I got at 75% off retail. I bought the G15 to monitor my overclock with core temp, when it goes I'll probably go mechanical because my i5 2500k is rock solid and cool(ish) at 4.4Ghz. I have a 5.1 Logitech speaker system that was on sale, and a pair of Plantronics Gamecon 777 headphones. Nothing over the top and I have some nice gear but I never pay retail for it.
