Awesome Computer Accessories

This controller is designed to improve workflows with drawing tablets but can speed up any creative process. It has eight buttons, which can be programmed for shortcuts for up to 40 functions per application, OLED function displays, and a four-mode knob with LED lighting to indicate which mode has been selected. Works with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux PCs.

This premium desktop charging station reduces clutter and looks cool doing it. The Moonbase helps reduce the need for charging bricks by providing four USB-C ports and 240 watts of efficient GaN power on board. It has three well-spaced AC outlets for devices that still need their own charger, each accented with a colorful ring of light.

From the outside, the Base Case looks like a hard-shell rollaboard suitcase. But inside, it packs a pair of 24″ FHD screens. Combined with telescoping legs and a variety of ports, it turns any desktop into a serious workstation on the go. It’s also got a built-in compartment for your laptop. Reserve one early to get a special discount when it launches on Indiegogo.

A worthy and budget-priced challenger to the Elgato Stream Deck. The DisplayPad gives you access to hundreds of commands, macros, status indicators, and more through its 12 tactile keys. Each key has a 104×104 display that can show various image formats, including GIFs. You can set it on its included base or attach it to the company’s Everest keyboard.

This USB-C hub is small enough to carry in your pocket or attached to the back of your phone. It has two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a 3.5mm audio port. One of the USB-C ports supports fast charging at up to 100 watts, and its included handle doubles as a cable for quick connection. Compatible with a wide variety of devices.

The smaller sibling of the original Creator Board keyboard. Work Louder’s new Creator Micro is a macro pad that more than justifies its price in both form and function. It has 12 keys, a knob, and a scroll wheel, all programmable using VIA. You can switch between up to four layers on the fly using the touch sensor. It also has full RGB underglow lighting.

External GPU docks are almost always bundled with a graphics card, making them huge and expensive. Mini PC maker Minisforum solved the problem without breaking the bank. Their DEG1 eGPU Dock is a small barebones OCuLink device, compatible with up to 3.5-slot GPUs as well as ATX and SFX power supplies. ETA Prime has more details.

Everyone and their dog is about to get a Hall effect mechanical keyboard. The K2 HE uses Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic switches, which lets you adjust each key’s actuation point, bind multiple actions to one key stroke, and enable last key press priority for superhuman levels of strafing. It connects via USB, 2.4 Ghz wireless, and Bluetooth.

A throwback accessory for monitoring PC hardware. The VU1 pairs an analog coil meter with an e-ink screen, allowing you to edit its label and units. It also has LED backlights for visibility in low light. Up to three meters can be connected to a PC using its dedicated hub. Check out Devyn Johnston’s build for a great implementation using four VU1 meters.

The special edition of Keybay’s W70 mechanical keyboard kit may have gearheads justifying its price. Inspired by the Toyota AE86 Trueno, it has LED bars at the back that look like car taillights. The special edition also comes with two light baffles: one is semi-transparent acrylic, and the other is perforated aluminum.

Chilkey is going after Keychron’s throne with the ND75. The polish and features that you get for its price are unbelievable. It’s a fully assembled 75% mechanical keyboard with a well-made screw-less aluminum case. It connects via USB-C, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless. It has three mount options, pre-lubed stabilizers, and even a tiny screen for settings.

Swagkeys reminds us just how far custom keyboards – and their prices – have come. The company’s upcoming Transition Lite TKL will take you back to the ’90s with its transparent polycarbonate case. It’s a kit, so you’ll have to get stabilizers, switches, and keycaps separately and then put it all together yourself. But for only $50, this is an awesome deal.

The latest edition of Razer’s Viper Pro mouse takes the versatile wide and flat shell of the Viper V3 HyperSpeed and packs it with its latest proprietary optical sensor that promises virtually 100% resolution accuracy for pixel-perfect aiming. The Viper V3 Pro also has a smoother matte finish, satisfyingly clicky side buttons, and improved tactile mechanical switches.

Elgato’s new Neo line features beginner and budget-friendly versions of its gadgets. The star of the show, of course, is the Stream Deck Neo. Aside from the trademark programmable LCD shortcut keys, it has an equally versatile info bar and something that no other Stream Deck has: two dedicated touchpads for switching between sets of shortcuts.

Logitech’s Pro X 60 may be marketed to competitive gamers, but this 60% keyboard has some genuinely practical features. It has an easy-to-reach volume dial on the side, factory-lubed optical switches, and a battery that lasts up to 65 hours per charge when connected via the 2.4 GHz wireless dongle. It comes with either tactile or linear switches.

Customizing is the point of modern mechanical keyboards. But Wired In’s Protagonist takes it to a different level. This 60% keyboard has a swappable hybrid faceplate and case top called a keyframe. Not only does the keyframe come in a ton of colors and material options, it also comes in Winkey, Winkeyless and HHKB layouts.
