Beneficial PC Peripherals
I'm in the place now where I am trying to round out my PC gaming experience. Jumping from the beginner stages to more of an intermediate PC user stage. I have a nice keyboard, headset, PC, and monitor. I am interested in everyone's recommended, not necessarily a necessity but definitely beneficial, peripherals they use to provide the best PC gaming experience. (i.e. cable bungees, higher end gaming mice, over-sized mouse pads, etc.). I am open to all items but would like to stick to a price range of $0 to $150 per item. If there's something crazy expensive, feel free to add it just for fun( always fun to have your "winning the lottery" kind of daydreams.)
Thanks everyone who contributes!

- For Mice: I recommend checking RocketJumpNinja on youtube. He has great reviews on mice. I'd get either the Logitech G102 (my current mouse, 30~$) or the Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse (150~$).
- For Controllers: I'd add either or all, Bluetooth dongle, xbox dongle or ps4 dongle. in addition, if you like, the Mayflash Gamecube Controller Adapter.
- For Mouse Pad: Still recommend RocketJumpNinja. Personally I use and love the corsair MM300
- For Chair: I'm not saying get an expensive gaming chair, or anything over the top, but I find it important to have a good chair, especially considering how long I'm at my desk. For me, a good office chair works, but your mileage may vary.
- In addition to headset, I use an amp hooked up to a 5 speaker setup. In case I don't want to use my headset or friends are over for some local games.

The HyperX Alloy is a great keyboard. Personally, I use a Logitech G413 because I like the RomerG tactile switches, but the Alloy is great for CherryMX. I have the wired version of the Corsair Harpoon and love it, but hear that the G502 is really nice. The G903, Steelseries Rival 650, Finalmouse Air58 Ninja and Razer Deathadder elite/Mamba elite are nice mice, too. If you have large hands, the Corsair M65 Pro is amazing, but it feels really weird if your hands aren't the right size. Before you get a mouse, I highly recommend you try it in a store first to make sure it fits your hand.
I use the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pros for a gaming headset. I think that, out of all my friends, my audio is the best. Cloud Flights are great, but upgrading to the 900 Pros or a Sennheiser will make a big difference. I would pair it with a Blue Snowball or Yeti Mic, but if you don't play online games that isn't even necessary.
Corsair just came out with a new oversized mouse pad that looks really nice, but if you just want a good mouse pad get the Steelseries QcK. It comes in different sizes, its cheap, and its simply the best on the market right now.
One final thought; what are your PC's specs? If they support it, I recommend overclocking. Then, if you don't mind the noise, ramp your fans to 100% to get the most power out of your system.

EYESODDAny PC with any cooling whatsoever can be overclocked; however, some parts do not support overclocking. Your CPU has to be 'unlocked' to be overclockable, and your motherboard has to be compatible, too. The motherboard isn't as much of an issue nowadays, but if you have an Intel CPU that doesn't have a K at the end, like the i7-8700, you won't be able to overclock. All AMD Ryzen CPUs are unlocked.
Spec-wise, the only specific piece of hardware that I look for is the aforementioned unlocked CPU. Other than that, you just want solid cooling.
If you're wary, overclock your RAM first because it's the easiest, than move up from there.

What is your current keyboard, mouse, mousepad, and headset?
Novelkeys has some cool desk mats. They are thick, have stitched edges, and have cool designs.

erickongI just upgraded to a HyperX Alloy FPS RGB keyboard, and a HyperX Cloud Flight headset. Mouse is a Logitech G502. I don't dislike it, but I am interested to hear what other people use. And Mouse pad is just a regular one that I got from a friend for free. I think CyberPC is the brand. I'll check those things out, thank you!

What has happened to MassDrop?
I have been gone about two years and return to find a completely a different shopping experience. Even though Spring is upon us...I can count ALL the outdoor items on less than my 10 fingers. Is this the norm now from Drop? Thanks

X-mid 1p tent available for France
Hello, my question is very simple: when will the Dan Durston X-mid 1p tent be available for France? I know this must have already been discussed and I know I can order it via Amazon.com but it is not the easiest (and cheapest) way to get it. Please, make it available! Don't let me beg you! ;-) Hope to hear from you soon with good news. Pierre

I bought a Glycine GL0187 and got it about a week ago.
The dial in the picture of the Glycine GL0187 on drop.com is black. The dial on the one i received looks 2/3 faded greyish and the bottom more black. I know it's not, but the dial has the water damaged look. It's not nice and pretty anoying. Any comments?

Completely surprised by the lack of blade diversity here on Drop...
I’ve been a collector of Blades since before my teens, and a retailer coming up on 15… or maybe 20 years. Drop has really been kind of an interesting experience for me, because I do occasionally get to see some unusual tech and sometimes EDC items that otherwise I might not have been aware of. And maybe it’s because I have a deep love of cutlery and bladed weapons, but I find myself trolling through the site looking at it what’s available; and it’s just it’s pretty much the same. And the bladed community here is just always confused me.. every single knife is about the same, they’re almost all drop points and although the handle materials change and brands change.. it’s really just the same knife over and over and over again... occasionally you’ll see a tanto or a slight variant; but rarely… and almost never a serrated blade. And I’m just deeply amazed at this diversion of serrated blades. And I’m just surprised there isn’t more of a request for diversity here.... and I...

Can we get Sony E-Mount or other mirrorless camera options please..
Would be nice to see some Sony E mount full frame cameras on here. I currently shoot with a A99 and they killed the lense path for better or more option lenses and now is all E-Mount. 🤔

There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...
