Dropped $150 on a 'gaming surge protector' at a mall kiosk in Fresno, it's a power strip with blue lights
Stopped by a mall kiosk in Fresno two months ago and the guy swore this $150 surge protector would cut my input lag on my setup. I plugged my console into it, ran the same three games I always play, and my timing felt exactly the same. Opened the thing up later and it's a plain power strip with blue LEDs and a sticker that says 'low latency.' The kiosk guy had a laminated chart and everything, so I fell for it on the spot. My buddy runs his PC off a $15 strip from the hardware store and beats me at everything anyway. What's the dumbest gaming gadget you've paid real money for that turned out to be nothing?
