How We Chose Unknown PC Accessories
Searching through pages and pages of PC accessories, it can be quite hard to filter out what is actually an excellent PC accessory and what is just e-waste dressed up to be a fancy accessory. So for an item to be considered for computer accessories you didn’t know you needed, they had to fit 3 points of criteria.
Best Accessory For Audiophiles: Fiio BTR5
Typically, a HiFi audio setup can take up a full desk’s worth of space, and even worse, getting that same listening experience on the go is impossible. Well, not anymore, thanks to the Fiio BTR5 mobile DAC. This incredibly tiny DAC can easily driveenthusiast-grade headphones, and it connects via Bluetooth or USB-C.
There is a typical 3.5mm unbalanced connection with an impedance of 100 Ohms and a 2.5mm balanced connection with an impedance of 150 Ohms. If users really want to, they can drive studio-grade reference headphones wherever and through their phones. This DAC supports aptX for iPhone users, and for everyone else, it supports LDAC up to 96kHz. All of that is over Bluetooth, by the way!
Most Fun Accessory: Logitech Fun Mic Covers
These fun mic covers from Logitech might seem like they don’t fit into the requirements listed before, but they actually do act as a pretty good pop cover. For gamers that already have a Logitech gaming headset, this 5-pack of pop covers can easily add a bit of style and fun to your headset. Although Logitech only officially supports their headsets with these pop covers, it seems like they can fit on pretty much any standard-size boom mic.
For only $10, these are super fun and would make a perfect gift for a gamer in your life or a Discord friend with an annoying poppy voice that a pop cover can help.
Editor’s Choice: Megalodon Triple Knob Macro Pad
At this point, probably a good amount of gamers have heard about or own a macro pad. But this one offers a couple of special features that set it apart from the rest. Namely, the two small knobs and one large knob, which are all clickable, adding an incredible amount of functionality to this relatively small macro pad. Beside the knobs are 16 mechanical keys, and this whole pad has 4 layers of complete customization.
This macro pad can help most PC users, from video editors to streamers and even productivity users. The programming is not as friendly as aStream Deck, but with a little bit of playing around, this macro pad can be easily programmed for any use you need it. The possibilities are endless, but for example, streamers can use the 16-key keypad as a soundboard and for different OBS scenes. Then the two smaller knobs can be used for game and Discord audio levels, and the big knob can be used for the streamer’s microphone gain.
What makes a PC Accessory Good?
Ultimately what makes an accessory worth it or not is up to the user; every person uses their PC differently and has different needs. An excellent way to go about searching for new accessories is to think about, if there were no limitations, what would make a PC easier or more fun to use.
Because there are so many people in the gaming community now, there are more accessories than ever. Especially thanks to the DIY community, there is a good chance that someone else has made something at least similar to what you thought.
