gaming peripherals

Player input devices

Gaming peripherals are hardware accessories designed specifically for video game play—controllers, headsets, keyboards, mice, and joysticks that connect to a computer or console.

The term distinguishes equipment optimized for gaming from standard office peripherals: I spent more on gaming peripherals than on the PC itself.

Features like programmable buttons, high polling rates, and RGB lighting mark the category.
