So it’s comes out the same as the Viper Wireless you mentioned.

No, it comes with the console. So to be fair, just subtract $70 from the cost of the PS5 = $330 for the Digital Version

How the fuck can you compare build qualities between a controller and a mouse

Easy, the Plastic and Switches on the Razer feel cheaper / more brittle. There is more flex to it when squeezed. The charging dock connectors are less reliable. To be fair, the mouse did come with a dock with my model, I think it may be a bit cheaper without it.

you can easily get a good quality mouse with bells and whistles in the $60-$80 space.

You absolutely can, but you didn't include anything originally and that's why I made a point of bringing it up.

you’re also deliberately shopping in the $40 range for stuff like the Anne Pro II Keyboard

I paid $90 for in in late 2019. Assuming that's not a counterfeit listing (Official site lists it for $90 with $10 off but OOO). The macros and software customization is incredible... when it works. Bluetooth was worthless, I had repeated key presses from time to time, and the config kept getting erased randomly when I would unplug it.

Anti-cheat has also been on consoles for decades now

I meant anti-cheat preventing the game from working. I stopped playing competitive a long time ago.

Linux has gotten some really good support though.

Subjective I guess. ProtonDB still lists a lot of games with issues. Not a lot are natively supported by the devs.

You made it a point to talk about the price of the computer versus a console, not the ease of use of it.

Yea I did, and the Ease of use is tied to the cost through the Windows license or lack there of. In all of these comparisons the PC side neglects to include the cost of Keyboards, Mice, and Windows.

Because you deliberately chose to spend that much on a GPU that outperforms a PS5 in graphical power? I bought a $400 GPU that slightly beats the PS5 out a couple of years back, so that’s moot.

That's the entire cost of a PS5, and a few years back an equivalent SSD was $200.

cherry picking

That's basically my original point. You can't leave out a mouse and keyboard.
