- These are our FAVORITE peripherals for gaming and productivity and a lot of them are older than you might think. They might not be the best gaming and productivity mice, keyboards or headsets but after years or months of long term use, they've become familiar.

No one makes better looking, buttery-smooth, coordinated and well coloured videos like Canuck does. Stunning
Haha thanks thanks 🙏
-D.
Yeah I just noticed that hardware Canucks always nail the lighting and colours.
Once check optimum tech same quality same colours and if .also check matt d'avella same quality but a little bit less colours
Agree
@@HardwareCanucks hello Dimitri, review Geeek A60 plus vs Mechanic Master C26 mini itx case. Thank you ^^
A peripheral video a day keeps the money in my wallet away.
Fortunately I'm fkn poor
@@diogof1470 Yes...because a peripheral video a day keeps the money in my wallet away
big facts
🤣 my wallet is crying
I'm in the process of adding 1 more meter of desk to my setup and I've been racking all the stuff I need for the new upgrade to the setup and I keep watching this videos and adding to my amazon checkout.
:D fuck
“A year now, March 12th 2019”
My guy is still in 2020
Probably recorded before
He just actin like 2020 didnt happen
@@paulcyrussalcedo4402 2021 pretty much the same….
Always love it when the 3 of you guys get together. Hope you do more videos in this style.
I love the dynamics of multiple interviewers
the quality of the videos are superb lately, love ya hardware canucks!
One of the best videos, personal opinions after extended time of use and with personal opinions of their performance. That I consider the best review of them all
Love when you guys are in the same video together!
Thanks for the great peripherals recommendations guys!
That was an awesome review and funny, from the 3 of you. My 14 year old daughter loved it. Thanks guys.
I really love this channel, thanks so much guys!
I built my system for EFT - have loved your content for a long time before I found this out makes me even happier to follow you now!
EFT is the jam right now!

One thing I love about the MX Master 3 that Eber didn't mention is the infinite scroll. I work in a lot of big excels, so having that and the horizontal scroll makes work soooo much more comfortable.
ngl that I realize now that I'm in a lot of work where data analysis and spreadsheets are starting to dominate my life when I'm not actually providing support the mx 3 with its side scroll is just unbeatable. I wish that logitech would put out another version of the ergo trackball with maybe some of the features the mx3 has cause I feel with good marketing it'd sell off the shelves
Hi Dimitri and colleagues! Very good vid. Thanks. I like your Cooler Master chair! 👍🏻
I loved the video, I wish you guys would have included your whole setups (monitor, pc specs)
YOU PLAY ESCAPE FROM TARKOV
When I was starting - I never understood having expensive peripherals, but right now I have:
Razer Viper Ultimate, Durgod Hades with lubed Cherry Silent Reds and PBT keycaps, Sennheiser HD560s with Fiio K5 Pro and Modmic Wireless. Totally worth it and the only thing I would change in this setup is the charging port on the microphone, would be so nice with Type-C.
I've been using Logitech G903 for both game and work for a while now, absolutely love them, their battery last forever even with full RGB brightness (charge them basically once a month) many macro keys and relatively light weight
dam imo your lighting is so good
Dmitry!
Do a top10 retro style games with any theme you like!
That would be awesome, thank you! 😁
Cool to see Mike once in a while
Thanks for the great tips :)
Hey Eber, another great soundbar to look up or even review is be the Polk MagniFi Mini. So little yet so good
I love my fantastic Cooler Master MM720. Its was a true game-changer for me in Apex Legends and CSGO
Holy crap, how did I barely see this MX Master 3? That horizonal scrolling is what I really need for my Dev code review work.
I've been using the MX Master since the first one, I love the 3 its just a comfy solid mouse especially for Mac.
respect for the g305
0:40 "I just want to take it all in (HL:Alyx)"
It's okay Dmitry. I find the headcrabs to be too scary as well.
Razer death adder has always been my main mouse for gaming, as it fits my weird grip really well for fast fps games. enjoying the razer viper for work/productivity at the moment too, it feels like it is half the weight of the death adder.
I have also been using mostly the same setup for a long time. It just works well for me. I don't do much productivity type of work so gaming was always the main focus. I do find myself using the numpad a lot, and can't seem to ditch my Logitech G710+ keyboard with pbt caps, recently picked up a logitech g502 hero (since my mionix naos 7000 died on me 🥺) and really have been loving that. Audio wise I use a blue yeti with sennheiser hd558 headphones. Bang for the buck was always my goal and it all works very well 😁.
Excellent. My tick/tilde key is binded to R_ALT.
Over here repping the Glorious GMMK TKL in White with tangerine switches and a Glorious Model D mouse, with Corsair Virtuoso SE headphones to class it up a bit
Nice video, guys
Yeah, I am rocking the Sound Blaster X Katana. Great sound bar.
My main mouse is the viper ultimate, my keyboard is the Redragon k552 but I plan on getting a hyperx origins 60, My headset is the Corsair HS35. Awesome video!
I fell in love with my 65% one row taller and wider than a 60% but with dedicated arrows and fn row
you guys and your damn small keyboards and lightweight mice. come onnnnnnnnnnnn
@3:40 give the HHKB a try. It has a great arrow layer, the tilde key in the top right, and backspace just above the enter key (where the |\ key usually is).
Never been a fan of anything smaller than a TKL keyboard. I prefer full size keyboards over anything else. My keyboard of choice and daily driver is the SteelSeries Apex 7 with Red Switches. This is one amazing keyboard and the RGB is second to none! I also opted for the SteelSeries Rival 3 wired mouse and haven't regretted that purchase either! Along with my ASUS 32" VG32VQ1B Curved Monitor, and I have a pretty damned cool gaming and production setup!
@2:15, 2019 wasn't last year... cmon Dmitri wake up 🤣🤣🤣
Mentally we skipped out on 2020. ;)
@@HardwareCanucks Well... fair enough
@@HardwareCanucks Good riddance
i just seen a person use a android wear watch for the first time on youtube in like 2 years. it a fossil hybrid with an e ink screen and a physical watch on top
I'm programmer and have the same setup for gaming and productivity: Roccat vulcan because satisfying keystrokes matter a lot when programming and I wouldn't want to miss out the num pad or even the context menu button (the less you use the mouse the more productive when programming). Roccat tyon because of the smooth scroll fin and because it's big with many configurable buttons (I have copy paste macros on the mouse that's super useful). For sound Bose 700 as it has great noise cancelling and works decent for video calls as well as for gaming.
My current setup is a Logitech K350 keyboard (love it!!), Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed mouse, a Hyper X Cloud Pro headset and an ancient set of Logitech 2.1 speakers I got back in the early 2000s.
For productivity I use, mostly, the Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000 (I bought it in 2007), which is a combination of the Wireless Keyboard 3000 V2 and the Wireless Mouse 5000. However, for on-the-go and some gaming, I use the Logitech G305 and I LOVE IT... When I make up my ming on a mech keyboard, that will be my main mouse.
As headset I use the original HyperX Cloud for gaming and my new Soundcore Life Q10's for everything else (highly recommended). One of the things I find most practical of these Life Q10's is the multi-pairing capability. The ability to pair them, at the same time, with my PC and my phone is priceless. Besides, the sound is just great!.
That is a nice video, should help me a lot when it comes to replacing my mains:
Epomaker GK87 with lubed black Gateron sw,
Glorious Model O,
Sennheiser HD650 with ifi nano iDSD
Thoroughly recommend them.
Still using Xornet II till now, great mouse and best design for my hand
you guys fucking rock! loved this video (great idea). keep it up!
So with those bluetooth headphones you have to rely on the PC soundcard right? Shame you can't use the DAC with them, or am I missing a way to connect the two?
that KDE Neon wallpaper in the Razer ad tho :3
On my desk i use a Presonus Studio 24C (swapped from 1st gen focusrite scarlett after running into USB3 and driver issues) with a Presonus Eris 3.5 half active(?) pair and a Presonus HD7, might no be the best, but it was dirt cheap and its perfect for both recording and playing, also its so easy to switch between headphoenes and speakers with an external soundcard, so i just stay away from these USB gaming headset crap for years now. For casual on the-go use i have a JBL BT150 or something like that, pretty cheap and falls of my head as i move around, can i have some recommendations?
Im looking forward to a HyperX Pulsefire Haste review from you, cheers.
Astro A40s (looking to get open backs when my goXLR mini comes but these headphones are awesome still), Shure MV7, Logitech G Pro X Superlight, Artisan Hien XL Soft, and hotswap Tofu 60% with lubed Novelkeys Creams, Brass Plate, and Gmk 8008 keycaps. It's a huge difference on PC these few months than the 10+ years of Xbox gaming, but the greatest investment I've ever made!!!
Mouse: HyperX Pulsefire Haste gliding on an Aqua Control Plus ROB strata variant XL size, uncoated.
Keyboard: Geek GK61 with Optical Gateron Browns that are not lubed.
Audio: HyperX Cloud Alpha plugged into a Behringer Q502 & my microphone is the Behringer XM8500.
Big Dmitry you should get in contact with Wooting and try their upcoming Wooting Two HE, I will just say that if you like liniar switches you would be blown away also it has some really cool gaming features but it's better to read yourself about those
Man, here I am still using my Ideazon Merc Stealth keyboard and Zalman FG1000 FPS Gun mouse from 2007!
I’m currently using the EVGA z20 optical gaming keyboard (clicky) and I absolutely love it. It replaced a Logitech carbon series. The logi keys were peeling and after 2 g pro mice that both started double clicking within 3-4 months of use I delogiteched my setup lol. Using a death adder v2 wireless and cloud 2 wireless currently.
I use the azeron on keypad in my left hand and a g502 wireless in my right, A random G skill keyboard just for Aesthetics, Sennheiser hd58x combined with a modmic 5 plug into a Sennheiser GSX 1000. If I'm not gaming I use a polk mini soundbar and the Logitech vertical MX Mouse. It's all absolutely perfect for me.
Yes, ~ deserves more respect
Keyboard for production and gaming is the ZSA Moonlander, best keyboard I have ever used. Mouse for productivity is the Elecom Huge trackball mouse. I have rsi so this mouse paired with the moonlander is good for pain free day. Mouse for gaming is the Roccat burst pro, it is so light and glides so smoothly it is an excellent mouse. Sound is the Roccat elo air, great for listening to music while I work or watching UA-cam. For gaming though it is amazing I can hear everything that is going on around me to the point I can chase foot sounds on the map.
Thanks for this amazing video again :-)

What if you have a two pc setup and goxlr hdmi is connected via gaming pc, is their a amp that we can use for our headsets or what headphones can goxlr properly power that are good to game with ?
What's a wolf's favourite part of his gaming setup?
His periferals.
I'll see myself out.
ok good
lmao :D
I expect nothing less from someone with a Hobbes pic.
My basic setup: Corsair Strafa RGB MX Red + Razer Bassilisk X Highperspeed + Sennheiser Game One; for productivity nothing beats ThinkPad keyboards and rock either Sennheiser HD58x or PXC 550-II. :)
Ordered a 60% keyboard with Gateron Optical Brown Switches. Very responsive, like the small size and light weight. I can position the keyboard (slightly tilted down on the right side) in a way that feels more natural when gaming.
That MX master mouse looks pretty nice and would probably pair well with my MXKeys keyboard... But I haven't used a mouse in years, graphics tablets are just so much better, the only downside is having only 2 buttons on the pen, but touch gestures can make up for that.
I even ended up using my Wacom Intuos to play through the Bioshock series this last month after having issues using a gamepad in the first game, I tried swapping back to controller for the second, but I'd just gotten so used to the Pen Tablet I kinda wanna try other shooters with it now, I had already used an old wacom bamboo for League of Legends back in the day and for games with that kind of overhead perspective (where you can use it in tablet mode, instead of mouse mode) it was already better than a mouse.
So yeah, I think you guys should really give a pen tablet a shot, takes some getting used to, but once you do it's hard to go back to a mouse.
As always, thank you for the video Star Lord
Great video as always! Just curious, what chair are you using for the video? Looks like it's from cooler master but my google search didn't show me anything similar
For replacing Earpads, try to get the same geometry. If you go for a larger volume for your ear cavity, you will kill the tuning of your bass frequencies.
I think that for the worn out pair, the size looks similar to the HyperX sized pads. BrainWavz also has a hyperx sized pad.
Sennheiser has replacement pads for the pxc550's which snap in, and the newer version of the 550 is supposed to work better with Apple devices.
.
really tempting me on going for an mm720
Just got huntsman mini. Hope I will get used to it
My main is the Razer Ornata Chroma. It isn't a mechanical keyboard, but I like their feel and it isn't as loud as fully mechanical keyboards like the blackwidow.
For a mice I use the Roccat Kiro (since I can switch out the side panels to fit in my left hand) It's a bit small on the smaller site, but it's super responsive, has some subtle rgb, and dpi switch on top, so I can swap between 3 different presets for different games.
Mouse : Razer Viper Ultimate
Keyboard : Cooler master Masterkey Pro L (Building a custom this summer)
Audio : Philips SHP9500, SoundBlasterX G6 AMP/DAC, Audio-Technica ATR2100x mic.
Great video btw! really dig the 3 perspectives in one video.
Escape from Tarkov!!! That game broke my mind and can't deal with de Gear fear thing. But I still loving it. Good video!!!! good stuff!
My favorite game/work stuff:
Mouse - Razer Pro Click (my main mouse right now both for work and gaming), MX Master 3 and Logitech G703
Keyboard - Ducky One 2 TKL (White)
Headphones - Philips SHP9500, Plantronics BackBeat 810 and old HyperX Cloud for backup.
AMP - Creative Sound Blaster G6
Having a hard time choosing between Drop Sennheiser PC38X or HyperX Cloud 2 wireless? Don’t mind the wired or wireless feature, just purely on sound quality for both music/movie and gaming. Please help me on this 🙏
Im really interested in buying that Katana soundbar, had a oportunity to hear it in a shop and its really loud and has a nice sound
Nice choices overall. My mains are:
Mouse: Pwnage Ultra Custom ergo.
Keyboard: Durgod Hades 68
Audio: Sennheiser PC37X (planning to pair it with a Fulla 3) and the Presonus Eris 3.5 monitors.
If it's been there since March 2019, has it been 1 or 2 years? Getting confused.

Have you ever found any artisan keycaps that fit your TKL Pro? I've ordered a couple to replace my escape key, but the angle of the switch housing has created issues with both of the keycaps I've ordered. Love the keyboard, but a bit of a bummer I can't replace my escape key to satisfy my ridiculous desire. :)
G305 is a really great mouse for the price. I still use it on my Mac even though I’ve upgraded to my Gpro on my pc.
Really good-looking watch. Can you share some details about it
Eber should definitely go with 65%. IIRC, he used to use the inputlab nightfox. If he gets a 65% that is VIA compatible, he can just make one of the keys on the right side a dedicated tilde key
Razer huntsman mini, zowie gsr, razer deathadder elite v2, arctis pro gamedac. Thoughts? I personally love everything so much!! Especially the headset and keyboard.
I also enjoy the softness when I bottom out
Hey, Dmitry. Do you have any suggestions for a guy who is looking for a good pair of headphones for everyday office use? I tried the WH1000xM4 for their noise cancelling, but sound quality was seriously disapointing (for the price). I just want a comfortable set of cans that delivers good sound and doesn't look too "gamery".
Using the Razer Black Widow full sized keyboard (bought when first released) with the G900 mouse and the Arctis 7 headphones for everything.
Peripherals for me:
KB: Tokyo 60 v3 w/zealios (65 or 67g, can't remember which). No lube or anything extra here, but I love these switches. I did want to try the heavier ones though. GMK Alter keycaps to rep best girl. I had the SA Laser set for a while, but I think the GMK profile is gonna be the one I stick with. I've more or less gotten used to it now, but I still don't care for the HHKB layout. It looks good, but I want to get a 75% so I can have the arrow keys and F row back. Also, not sure if this is just mine, or all aluminum keyboards, I zap this thing with static like every time I sit down during the winter. I try to remember to discharge by touching something else first, but I often forget. Doesn't seem to hurt anything, but it does sometimes disconnect the keyboard so I have to unplug and replug it to get up and running again. Think I might go polycarb for the next KB.
Mouse: Corsair M65. Works fine mostly, kinda wish it had a couple more buttons. being able to switch DPI on the fly is nice. Never use the "sniper button". I think I want to switch it out for something newer, this one has had an issue where it will randomly stop working for a second or two occasionally. Which is.. not fun for gaming. I'm also considering picking up an Apple magic trackpad that I could use for my MacBook, or PC when I'm eating.
Audio: Yulong Aquila II DAC/Amp accepts audio from the tv via optical and sends it to either my Mackie CR4 powered speaker through the preamp, or to my headphones. I primarily use either my AKG K701s or K712s. I think I prefer the 701s overall, but they're pretty close. I do want to upgrade the speakers for sure, but these are adequate for basic stuff like UA-cam videos and actually do pretty well for gaming. Positioning wise, I often don't even bother with headphones because the speakers do well enough. I also want to pick up more headphones, not because the AKGs are really lacking, just want some more variety.
Monitor (you guys should've covered this too): LG CX OLED 48". Thought it was too big at first, but I've gotten used to it now. It sits on a TV mount/stand about a foot behind desk. This is a recent upgrade from a pretty basic 60hz 4k 27" monitor from Dell. For FPS games, I try to run with a 21:9 ratio with black bars because it is a bit to tall to comfortably view from my sitting distance, and I'm unable to move the desk back more at this time. Biggest gripe is that there's no DP of course since it's a TV, and my 2080 is only HDMI 2.0, so I either have to drop to 4:2:0 for 120hz, or drop to 60 if I don't want crappy colors. I would get a 3080 but, you know.... Supposedly they're working on smaller OLEDs this year, if so HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a monitor. 120hz, OLED color and blacks, fairly low response time, it's great! At this size, it's not something that would work for everyone, but I think lots of people who think it's too big would probably love it if they gave it some time and moved their desk back a bit.
Interesting .. I went buy any of that stuff but kudos to you all.
Are there any gaming headphones out there that has good quality audio for those who are deaf in one ear?
I can't wear stereo headphones when I can't hear the other 50% of the audio from the right ear piece.
For example, I can hear the gameplay audio on my left ear, but can't hear either the characters speaking or even the music soundtrack on the right.
I can't use loud speakers at night when living in an apartment with thin walls.
what is a good solution for powering 80 ohm headphones for pc? (mobile would be awesome but I have given up on that ) It would be nice if its not expensive, just better than onboard sound and under like 40-50€.
My mains are as follows
Keyboard:
Keychron K6 with Glorious Panda switches (board to be replaced with a GMMK PRO)
CORSAIR K95 Platinum XT with Cherry browns
mice:
Corsair Dark Core Pro SE
Logitech G305
And I have a Glorious Model D on the shelf I don't use
Audio:
HyperX Cloud Alpha S (ditched the usb it's running into my GOxlr)
Astro A40TR Gen 2's
Corsair H60S
For the Philips Fidelio X3, try the Dekoni Audio X2 Pads, very recommended, esp. the Choice Leather for the X3 .
I think I’ve finally found that absolutely chonky monitor that is behind Dmitry: it’s an ASUS Mini LED ProArt Display. Not as pricey as the Apple Pro XDR, but hey. I love that super thick aesthetic.
This is nice. *using my 5 year old laptop i got from work yesterday
Hey Dmitry! May I ask if you still own the original Sennheiser HD800? I havent seen it on any b-roll in a long time.
I love the mm720 after you recommended it. This mouse also just slides like it's butter on a mouse pad. But I do wish that they made a taller version with the back raised
Audio : Beyerdynamic mmx 300 paired with Mayflower Arc mk2 (I updated my Dac-Amp after your video and it terns out fantastically well!)🙏
Mouse : Corsair Darkcore RGB Pro
Keyboard : Corsair k100 RGB👌
