The pad is designed particularly for mouse movement. This is best for those who are using their computers on an uneven surface. Sometimes, the mouse couldn’t work properly even when the surface was too smooth. In such cases, you need a mouse pad for your computer.

The cost of a mouse pad can be decided based on its features, like palm rest, type of material, color, warranty, durability, etc. However, the average cost of a mouse pad is around $3 to $5.

Wi-Fi Adapter

A device or a chip is used to connect a computer to the internet. When your motherboard has built-in Wi-Fi, then you don’t need this device. To find whether your motherboard has built-in Wi-Fi or not, you need to know the motherboard model of your computer. Then search for it on Google to find its specifications.

However, the cost of a Bluetooth adapter is around $15. Make sure the device supports the latest version before buying it.

Headphones

Are you a music lover like me? If yes, then you must have this device ‘headphones’ on your PC setup. Of course, this device is compulsory for gamers and streamers. But for normal PC uses, this is completely optional.

Headphones are the better option when you are using a desktop computer. It costs around $50 and the price will vary based on the features.

Earphones

The earphones are the better option when you have a laptop computer. Unlike a desktop computer, the laptop device is portable, so carrying headphones here is a bit hard. This is where earphones came from. 

The earphones work better for listening to music, video chatting, office work, etc. When compared to the headphones, the earphone’s costs should be less.
