Mouse and keyboard are indispensable devices for working at the computer. There are a lot of different accessories for these peripherals. They can simplify your work on the PC and make the easiest activities, like creating a Hellspin login, much easier. Let’s tell you more about them.
Wrist Rest
A useful device for users who spend a lot of time at the computer. Wrist rests help relieve the tension that occurs in the hand and forearm. A great option for those with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Mouse rests are a small pad. It’s usually made of polyurethane, less often it’s filled with memory gel.
Keyboard stands are most often rectangular. There are variants for both full-size and compact keyboards. Most often they are made of polyurethane, although even wooden models can be found on sale.
The stands have rubberized feet to avoid slipping.
When choosing a stand, pay attention to its height. If it’s too big, it will be uncomfortable to use your mouse or keyboard.
Mouse Wire Holder
A device on the body of which you can fix a computer mouse wire to keep it out of the way. On the base of the holder put rubberized feet or a vacuum suction cup. Inside the case there is a small weight that gives weight. Thanks to this, the holder won’t move out of place while working with the mouse.
Fancy models may have built-in USB ports, backlighting and even wireless charging. Please note that not all gadgets have wireless charging capability.
Mouse Panel
Is your mouse body worn out or its color boring? Then you can customize your device by using replacement panels. They are created for specific mouse models. And you can buy several colors and make a completely custom version.
Mouse Feet
Feet (glides) during active use of a computer mouse wear out quite quickly. This is where an interchangeable set of Teflon glides comes in handy. The feet are available in different shapes, both universal and for specific models.
USB Receiver
To connect a wireless mouse, a standard receiver is included in the kit. It can be replaced by a special USB receiver. The receiver is connected to the computer via USB cable. The receiver connects to the mouse using special software.
Receiver manufacturers promise a stable connection and a fairly high response frequency (up to 4000 Hz). When choosing, pay attention to the compatibility of the receiver with specific mouse models.
Keyboard Cases
This accessory is extremely useful when transporting or carrying your keyboard. Cases are made of leather or fabric. They have soft inner walls and protect from dust, dirt and water splashes. When choosing a case, pay attention to the size of the case.
Keyboard Stickers
The characters on the keys can wear off over time. For those who can’t type blindly, this can be inconvenient. There are classic black stickers with white symbols, there are transparent ones with other colors of keys. Stickers are most often plastic. They have a laminated layer that resists erasure.
Keycaps
If stickers can’t save the day, look at keycaps (simply put, new keys). Keycaps can be purchased as a whole set, replacing either individual keys or almost the entire keyboard.
Depending on the models, keycaps can be smooth or rough. The characters on them are quite resistant to erasure. By the way, it’s unnecessary to take a classic set: you can find various custom variants on sale.
Switches
Replacing switches is an integral part of keyboard modding. It’s not just about appearance. Switches affect the quality of keyboard operation. You can read about how to choose them in a separate article. In general, everything depends on personal preferences and on the upcoming tasks. You can find both individual switches and entire sets on sale.
Linear Scrolls
They are pressed with even pressure. Virtually silent: there are no clicks or tactile response when pressing. A great option for gamers.
Tactile Switches
Pressed with some force in the beginning, pressing is clearly audible, there is also a tactile response. Such scrolls are the best for typing. Players are less suitable for them.
Clicking Switches
Pressing the key is accompanied by a characteristic click and tactile feedback. These are probably the loudest switches.
Keyboard Cables
Keyboard customization isn’t just about replacing switches. Individual cables are becoming more popular. Technically, these are cables that can be used to connect your keyboard and computer using USB connectors. The cable is divided into two parts, which are connected to each other with an Aviator connector. If necessary, a second keyboard can be connected via this connector.
Externally, the cables have a characteristic spiral and shades of different colors. You can choose the color scheme for your keyboard. Custom cables have connectors of types USB-A (connects to the computer) and USB-C (connects to the keyboard).
Cable Holders
Cable holders are useful as they help put order on the desktop. You can place several wires in their case at once. The holder body can be attached both horizontally and vertically.
