take golf.

the most expensive clubs in the world don't mean shit if you don't have the experience to use them.

now, the reverse isn't true however.

all the slkill in the world won't help for shit if you're using crap equipment. tiger woods aint going to play right if he's using a croquet mallet for a driver after all.

you don't need super quality stuff, just normal quality stuff. take me. i have a standard set of nvidia gaming headphones (about 40 bucks on newegg) that get the term gaming because they have a boom mic, a 20$ bluetooth optical mouse from lenovo (which came w/ my comp)

ironically, the crappy mouse is working great because of a slight quirk in the driver, clicking the scroll wheel left counts as me pressing "k"...and completely by accident, i bound !ztele to k.
