In my experience, gaming mouse or keyboard are expensive but the quality is better(ergonomics, endurance etc.)
But the two most unbelievably bad gears marketed towards gamers are chairs and headsets.
Gaming chairs are the absolute worst for my back and they generally lack good thigh support, both of which are absolutely necessary for long sitting hours.
On the other side, once I got into audiophile stuff I realized how bad these gaming headsets are. They are tuned to be shrill af so that you can hear footsteps better which you can achieve with an EQ(there isn’t any need of it anyways). Plus, their mics are absolute dogshit, and can be replaced by a cheap $50-100 standalone mic that will perform exponentially better with an added bonus of you not looking like a dork. Just buy an entry level headphones like the Meze 99 Neo and you would have a much more comfortable sesh because they are not bulky as gaming headphones tend to be and you’ll be salivating over good music after.

Quite the nuance tbh.
Really the only good gaming gear is keyboards and mouse, even then this doesn't change the fact other gaming gear sucks.
Honestly, the reason why I asked is because I'm gonna make a custom pc soon and I'm gonna make sure I don't get shitty items marked as "Gamer" like RAM sticks, mics, etc.
I'd also go water cooling because I don't trust mainstream air coolers with handling modern games.
Anything internal labeled as "gaming" is immediately sus as fuck although it will probably be soon normalized as in every thing will be "gaming" with a price tag rise.
