Time To Upgrade Your PC Peripherals

From picky programmers who custom-build their PCs to those looking to streamline their computer setup, your computer is only as good as the peripherals that power it. What good is a beefed-up hard drive if you’re still using the same clunky mouse from the last decade? Upgrading your PC peripherals such as your mouse, keyboard and speakers not only enhances your comfort and computer capability, but increases productivity as well. Learn how to make the most of your computer accessories.

Power At Your Fingertips

When it comes to technology trends, the two main driving forces are convenience and customization. Wireless continues to lead the way as more and more people are cutting the cord and embracing Bluetooth and RF technology. According to the research firm IHS, 623 million PCs, laptops and tablets will ship in 2014 with the majority supporting Bluetooth.

Bluetooth-enabled mice like the Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse T630will pair with many computers on their own and won’t take up your precious USB ports or tangle up your desktop. Whether you’re looking to avoid wrist strain or you’re just sick of scrolling, this wireless mouse offers precision in a pocket size. From image editing to gaming, it responds to even the slightest movements, and the touch surface responds to nine different Windows®8 touch gestures. And with a 10-day battery life, it’s perfect for working in or out of the office.
