Could our keyboard, mouse, and monitor become affected by this issue?

First of all, I've been dealing with this issue for about **three years** now. The symptoms are the same ones many people describe: muddy graphics, poor motion clarity, inconsistent smoothness, "Ferrari peeks," and the feeling that everything is out of sync.
Around three years ago, I moved out of my family home and into a new apartment. That was when all of these problems started.
At first, I thought it had to be my hardware. On my original PC, I tested **five different mice, three different keyboards, and three different monitors**, but nothing changed. Eventually, I convinced myself that my PC had simply become outdated, so I built an entirely new system.
When I first built the new PC, I continued using the keyboard, mouse, and monitor that I had already purchased. I expected a huge improvement, but honestly it was a complete disappointment. The overall feeling was almost exactly the same.
Later, I started reading about electrical issues, EMI, grounding, and similar topics, so I began investigating that side of things. During my research, I found many people describing symptoms very similar to mine.
One post in particular caught my attention. The person claimed that **moving to a different house alone did not solve the problem**. According to them, the issue only disappeared after they moved **and** built a completely new PC, while also buying a brand-new keyboard, mouse, and monitor to use only in the new house.
In other words, they believed that whatever was causing the issue had somehow permanently affected their equipment. They claimed that even if they moved to a perfect electrical environment, bringing the old peripherals with them would also bring the problem.
At first, I thought this sounded ridiculous and I didn't believe it.
However, over time I tested both my old PC and my new PC in two different cities, and neither behaved any differently. The most important test for me, though, was taking my current PC back to my family home.
I was extremely hopeful because I had lived there for many years, and **before these last three years**, every game I played there felt perfectly normal.
Unfortunately, the result was devastating. The experience was **identical** to what I get in my current home. There was absolutely no improvement.
That made me start wondering about something that I never thought I would even consider:
**Could whatever is causing this issue somehow "spread" to our peripherals?**
I know this sounds crazy, and I'm not saying I believe it. I'm simply trying to understand why returning to an environment where everything used to work perfectly made absolutely no difference.
Sorry for my English.
