Keyboard and Mouse are essential to computers as basic input devices. Usually, you can already get a decent pair with $10. Now, I saw these gaming keyboards and mouse that is worth $50 each. Guys, I need some insights, does the money that goes in these input devices worth the money?

I think a gaming keyboard is alittle redundant. Unless you find that the extra buttons for shortcuts/macros normally found on a gaming keyboard to be extremely useful, a normal one should do the job pretty well. A gaming mouse on the other hand, do feels really comfortable in your hand. It is also very smooth, although I do doubt that your performance will really increase as much. So unless you are a hardcore gamer, stick to the normal keyboard and mouse. Or at least a cheap gaming mouse that isn't ridiculously priced.

I do not think you gotta go for those ones! A normal keyboard is enough for an intermediate gamer like me and I think it is enough! I got the mouse and keyboard for about 600 rupees - 12$.
