Not exactly a gaming hardware, but I bought a Neato Botvac, which now saves me about 1 hour/week spent on vacuuming, time that I can use for gaming. So in a way still related :D
Here's my keyboard, after it got some chrome spray.

(Also, my perfectoscope just arrived, and is working great!)

Just remembered that I got a cheater acquisition. Last year the dogs somehow yanked the antenna jack out of the TV so we had no antenna connection. Looked for a while for a Antenna to HDMI converter and didn't find anything cheap-decent. Got a new TV, then, which we wanted anyway. But the other TV still has perfectly good HDMI so it went up to my office for use as a second monitor for the laptop. Kinda odd going from 17" to 42" on the same desk, but it works.

Lately? How recent would that be?
I got a Kensington Expert Mouse on Ebay (because they're damned expensive when buying new) a couple months ago as I've lately found it extremely difficult and quite painful using a normal mouse due to problems with my right arm.

I can have the trackball right in front of the keyboard where I can easily reach it and it requires only the desk space of its footprint, unlike the mouse which needs more space for moving around and which I have always had on the right side (I tried using it on the left way back when my mouse was symmetric and only had a single button, as I am primarily left-handed, and it seemed logical to have it on the opposite side from the numeric keypad so as to let the main keys be in the centre, but it didn't work out, never was comfortable).

Yes, that's what I "game" with nowadays, for what relatively little gaming I do. I've never been much of a twitchy-shooter type or tried to get massive apm numbers in strategies, instead I'd rather lower the difficulty setting and stay in single player instead of competing against others, so though it might be a bit slower than a mouse, it doesn't really bother me (also, I've been wanting to have one of that series for about 20 years, so the recent disability seemed like a good excuse).

Perhaps this isn't gaming hardware as such, but here's my Perfectoscope. The 3D effect is pretty great!

A week ago I build a desktop PC for the first time in my life. Previously I picked parts and had a webshop assemble them, but this new game PC I built all by myself and I'm proud:

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 cpu
ASUS Strix B350-F Gaming processor
16GB of 3000 MHz RAM
CoolerMaster N400 case
CoolerMaster V550 power-supply

and transplanted from my old PC:

AMD RX 460 gpu
1 TB SSD
secondary HDD's (2 TB + 4 TB)
DVD-burner

When my third ex was still around, she wanted to build her own computer. Back then, we were using an old "ma and pa" computer store.

I pretty much dropped her in there, handed her a grand and walked over to the Olive Garden which was next door.

Thirty minutes later, they called and begged me to come back. :)

So.. after reading the thread til I saw my own old post... about time Nvidia releases something new :D
My nice new MSI GAMING X Geforce GTX 1080 ti

It cost me $1,374.60

Was expensive but worth the buttery smooth fps in far cry 5 @ 1080p
