Best input devices for gaming?

[marksmith22]

I am new to the PC gaming world and was just wondering what the best input device for some of these games may be. Would I be better off just using my mouse, buying a gamer keyboard, a joystick, etc.....? I like to play the shooter games and would like to get into some of the team play games. What is my best bet to be competitive and what are some of the brands you prefer?

I LOVE my Nostromo n52. I hardly ever use my keyboard for gaming anymore.

I'd have to say, I love using my 5 button optical logitech mouse + wheel and keyboard.

You can still use a mouse with that, right?
