most overrated PC gaming accessories?

[brandonb]

Most people are saying KillerNIC but if I remember right, that was never overrated. People bashed that since day 1.

The key word here is overrated. PhysX was never overrated either, I believe the reviews said "It has potential but games need to be programmed with it." Which never happened, otherwise we'd all be praising our Physics Cards today.

My vote would be Force Feeback effects. People hyped those up as being next gen, rumble packs, etc, but everybody turned that crap off.

Soundcards. I used to have a x-fi when it first came out, removed it after 6 months and never saw a difference in anything in sound, being music of games. Only one soundcard I ever owned was worth the money was the A3d cards when they came out, rest of the line of cards after that was just junk.
