What are some good and/or bad experiences you've had with gaming brands?

I'll start, with a bad experience: I had a Steelseries Siberia V2 headset a few years ago that randomly decided to die on one side, so I got a replacement pair, this time opting for the Diablo 3 variant (which I fell in love with) and the same thing happened. Both pairs never left my desk, so the cable was never bent or squeezed or pulled, etc. It was enough to make me not want to buy anything Steelseries lol. And started my transition to wireless peripherals.
