In case anyone is interested and hasn't seen it yet, a line of GW2 peripherals is in the works:

There are branded gaming keyboards set for an every later date, apparently.
I don't have a gaming mouse yet so I'm very, very tempted. Assuming I can get my dex high enough that my fingers and I can get along in order to use the buttons.
I know a few people bought something like this when TOr came out.
How is everyone liking theirs?
How long does it take to get used to something like this?
I can't recommend this gaming mouse, but I would definitely say the Razer Naga has made my gaming experience much better. It's also very easy to learn and get use to.
They would be very cool if they were designed like steampunky Charr mice, headphones, etc.
I must say that I was underwhelmed by the design in the pictures but I don't really have any basis for comparison.
A lot of the comments to the thread that ArenaNet announced it on are less than favourable, apparently steelseries is not a popular brand. However I may just chalk that up to whingey fanboys/girls rather than paying too much attention to those opinions.
I agree Talon, I'm also underwhelmed. I think the only thing from that collection I would actually buy is the mouse pad, hard to screw one of those up.
Yuck. Lazy, un-imaginative marketing. Lets just slap the logo onto some stuff and call it a day, instead of teaming up with someone like Razer and putting out some quality gear. Bravo.
I also have a Razor Naga and recall recommending it to many people while playing TOR. I could not play a game like TOR without one. I had it set up for I had 24 buttons at at my thumb, 12 regular and 12 alt buttons. I had some of these macro'd to skills I put on my side bars so they fired together. I would have sucked ballz at PvP without it if I was trying to hit the keys on the keyboard and taking my hand away from WASD.
I wholeheartedly recommend a Naga but warn you that it is being truthful when it says it will take 10-15hrs of serious gameplay to get used to it. After that it is second nature and speeds up your skill reaction time a ton.
