Are they all created equal or do some have some advantages over others?, and do any of those have mods that give a player unfair advantages? and if so what should dice do about them? on console everyone has to use same controllers so everyone is equal on that detail, but on pc i don’t know, not saying they do or don’t. your thoughts pc players?
I’ve been using the same IBM Model M keyboard for ages. It’s pushing 25 years old and, since it’s built like a tank, it still works as well as the did it came off the assembly line. I doubt it gives me an advantage, but I do pitty people forced to type on second rate rubber dome keyboards.
For a mouse I use a Gigabyte 5 button mouse. It’s not anything special, but it gets the job done. I know there are mice with way more buttons available, but I doubt that they make a big difference.
I hear rumors a lot of the top pilots like to use Xbox controllers while flying on PC and I can see how that could make a big advantage though…
Musclememory… Use what suits you best.
Actually, consoles have problems too. Custom controller mods and keyboard/mouse combo’s made for console that looks like controllers to the console is causing some games on console to have what many thing is an unfair advantage.
Other than that on PC everyone is created even, as in noone is created even and have a wide arrange of keyboards and mice that might give some advantages if you use it right and fits your playstyle.
Good gaming gear is crucial to your gaming experience!!!
Do your research and find whats best for you and what feels right!!
Personaly I use a Razer Death Adder and a Ducky mechanical keyboard.
both mouse and keyboard are the cheapest you could imagine 
you don’t need those expensive things, old and cheap is sometimes just better
yea not so much with the current gen though, last gen oh yea, and those same tools can be used on pc, just like the 360 controller from last gen xbox can be used on pc bf4, the mod variations would work on pc also. so that being said, is that cheating or do they let you use modded controllers on pc, the thing is with console your not supposed to ,but cleaver ppl always find away around it, is it a problem with pc also, just imagine a modded controller on pc, we are not talking about simple setup here, but mods that work better then auto aim, which is what the modded controllers on last gen did for console.
I enjoy the feeling and feedback of my mechanical keyboard but to me that’s personal prefference. Now when it comes to a mouse Tue thing you want to look for is comfort for your grip style and also sensor accuracy. It’s not good to have an uncomfortable mouse that’s accurate if you don’t feel right using it. And it’s no good to have a comfortable mouse if it’s a sub par sensor that doesn’t like your mousepad surface.
yes and no.
mods for unfair player advantages? well aside from the Bloody mice that have macros available to be downloaded TO the mouse, no, that doesnt exist.
as for being created equal? no, not even close.
a good keyboard has switches you like (mechanical keyboards have a lot of options here, but are expensive. membrane keyboards are mostly the same but there are decent ones) for feel and feedback, and allows many simultaneous keypresses. any other feature is tertiary.
With mice, you’re looking for build quality, a weight and shape you like, and a good sensor. you want a flawless sensor with little to no acceleration or smoothing built in. usually, this means optical and not laser. paying more here definitely matters.
Expensive gaming mice and keyboards are, in all honestly, more a triumph of marketing than a necessity. That said, stuff from the better known brands works, works well, and seems to stand up to some abuse. It looks cool too.
So, buy it if you want to, but you’re not at any disadvantage using regular stuff.
SteelSeries Rival 100 and a no-name membrane keyboard work fine for me. There is a difference but unless you’re really good there’s basically no difference.
Thumb buttons and good build quality are the main things.
Have slowly become a Razer person myself. I like that the keyboard is programmable by game and the mechanical keyboard just seems better to me then the one I did have. I like the feel of their mice too, so I added a wired Razer mouse. I think the wired mice have an edge to gaming. Plus it looks good too. But to each his own I guess.
The only thing I have from razer is there Mouse, I had the naga and just recently purchased the deathadder and love it. As for my keyboard I have a Noppoo mini with cherry switches.
I do believe the mechanical keyboards and a decent mouse are worth it. That’s just my opinion though.

Glad you moved it to the off-topic would have never seen this otherwice
It’s all about the muscle memory, someone can be better with the oldest avaible keyboard/mouse combination compared to the guy that just bought his new set of keyboard+mouse
He has to re-learn and master the muscle memory again
Perfect example: Try using some elses keyboard as efficiently as you use your own.
