South Africa's favourite computer screen and keyboard brands

Logitech and Samsung stand out as the most popular peripheral and screen brands in South Africa.

Much emphasis is often placed on computer and laptop specifications, but high-quality peripherals are often neglected.

Logitech and Reddragon for me.

Opposite for me lol. Love my Rapoo mouse but the keyboard is unreliable.

I mean my Logitech Mouse and Keyboard were about 3.5/4k when I bought them. Probably the best combo I’ve ever had. Not everyone uses the R150 takealot combo

Had it with Logitech. They can't seem to make up their mind on an interface first releasing the universal receiver, then changing over to a different software suite and now changing it for another where you have two receivers in any case. Moving over to trying Corsair which not only works on Bluetooth but it has a lot more diverse features and buttons.

Am I the only one who thinks it's retarded to spent 2-4K on a keyboard and mouse? I swear, the PC market just rips people off left, right and center the moment they slap the term "Gaming" onto anything.

In Nov 2023, I bought a Logitech G102 Mouse (which I am very happy with so far) and a MARVO KG880 Membrane keyboard for R800 total. Anti ghosting is a game changer for me on the keyboard (found out the hard way with THPS 1+2 remaster on my old keyboard)

Now I know I'm no Pro Gamer, but then again, how many of us really are?

And what's up with all the new keyboards having no numpad lately?

The 2 most expensive keyboard and mouse on Evetech comes to a total of R10299! I mean, seriously?

It is but sometimes we are given no option. The corsair mouse comes with 15 programmable buttons which is a huge help in things like design so it is well worth the money and I won't be spending it again for the next 10 years. I don't see any other solid brand offering the same. Some people are willing to spend half of that just on their internet bill for a month which is crazy.

I bought into Logitech - keyboard failed (keys started double typing) after two years and when Googling it seemed like an extremely common problem (and no, it was not dirty keyboard). Software (G-Hub) was also mostly bloatware instead of actually useful.

I shelled out the money for Keychron. Won't pay a premium for Logitech again. All brand and no quality.
