Most expensive or elaborate gaming peripheral

[coldfrog]

I just can't go anywhere without my SINGER IZEK and my Gameboy Colour

Spoiler

Almost but not quite the last thing you were expecting to see in this thread, yes?

Is that the one that goes with the new DS game "Sewing Mama"?

For me it's the Rock Band stuff, naturally. Though before Rock Band, the most expensive one I owned was my top quality Dance Pad (for DDR/In The Groove). I still get some use out of that thing, too. It was well made.

I think I might have bought an actual official dual shock pad once, rather than a knockoff?
Second most expensive was a cheap dance pad as a present for someone. That or a component video lead for their XBox.
Go me, high roller.

Keyboard, 'gaming' mouse (high DPI), and an Xbox360 controller. More I do not need for the PC.
In the good old past when they made flight and space sims worth the time (Wing Commander FTW) I had a great joystick as well, but that broke down ages ago and isn't supported any longer anyway.
For sound I have my 5.1 speakers and a good headset for late night gaming or team-based multiplayer.

On the console end, I bought a custom PS3 controller that has the Xbox layout so my thumbs don't impact all the time and my fingers are on the right buttons/sticks in rest position, and I got the PS Move controller in a moment of stupidity. I've yet to see anything making worth its cost besides casual games like Darts and that block stacking game.

I'm trying to configure two Kinects to work simultaneously ... so I can finally get to the next stage of building my Mecha.
Although I guess it's not really for gaming.
