Computer accessories could be described as something additional a computer uses with a computer to add other features that a computer doesn’t need to do its job correctly, like a printer, speakers or a modem.
Choosing the proper peripheral equipment for a desktop or laptop PC set-up is equally important when building or updating a machine, because choosing the right hardware can make the experience enjoyable and smooth.
Headset
Its name is derived from the word headset, because it is a combination of headphones and microphone with a connector, which can be attached to the telephone or to the computer. In this way, the wearer is free to talk while his or her hands remain open to perform other functions. It is widely used by employees of call centers or technical support services, talking to clients on the phone while typing information into the computer; among another wide user group are computer gamers, chatting to other gamers while playing on the PC.
Wireless headsetsLink the headsets to a base station, which in turn connects to your telephone unit over 2.4 GHz RF so you can talk handsfree. Or even finger-free, as some models will remove your handset for you!
Microphone
Mice (as the professionals call microphones) convert soundwave energy into an electronic signal, which might then be further processed internally or externally, to shape the output and accentuate some of its qualities.
Sound waves striking a microphone’s diaphragm cause it to vibrate, which changes the spacing between the diaphragm and the object behind it, called a backplate, and produces an electrical signal.
Unlike dynamic mics, to function at all, a condenser needs an external source of polarising voltage; this can be supplied by what’s called ‘phantom power’, sent from the two-conductor cable that runs between a mic and a mixer, carrying its audio signal.
USB Flash Drive
A USB flash drive, also known as a thumb drive or pen drive, is stored and accessible in flash memory (NAND).
These small drives can use very little power and have no moving parts, making them good for shuttling data between computers or for backups you keep off-line.
These portable data storage devices usually have one type of USB connector, but some include both USB-A and USB-C ports as part of the design (adapters are also available that enable you to convert between the two formats), others have retractable connectors that can be hidden when not in use, and some designs even have loops that can be used to connect them to key chains or lanyards.
Mouse
Computer mice are hand-controlled electromechanical devices which are used to interact with the graphical user interface (GUI) and control programs executed on digital computers. By moving the mouse, their cursor or pointer enables control over what will appear on screen and hence an ability to directly affect it.
The mouse was invented by Douglas Engelbart in 1973, and the hefty dowel with its large, rounded three-button head has long since given way to thinner machines with many buttons and, in some cases, handshaking capabilities to reduce wrist strain.
Sensors in the chassis of a typical mouse produce small pulses upon movements in x and y-axis, which are all translated into the motion of the cursor in 2D on the screen of the computer. Circuit boards would then be used to send the clicks detected by mechanical switches (or other inputs like pressing the scroll wheel) to the computer.

Keyboard
when user enter any command in keyboard its digitally encoded form is shooted at the computer for further operation.keyboard can be of many models and differ depending on the type of connection its making that is either its wired or wireless also from its motherboard connector type it can be either at connector will slots for kye board previously 3 wire connector or USB ports for computer or its PS2 port for older system.

The majority of computers come with plastic membrane keybords.This type of keyboard typically has 10 number (0-9) and symbol(+ and —-) keys along with a numeric pad at the right of other keys . Occasionally there are indicator lghts and special functions such as caps lock or scroll lock on these keys that helps in navigation.
The typical switch with a key has a plunger that is wrapped in spring coils with the electrical contacts connected to metal in the side of the plunger. You might have noticed that computers and other digital electronics often are designed without keys – as if they were physically merged with switches. This is because, upon depression, the plunger closes up its contacts and signals can pass along to the control circuitry of the computer.
Monitor
A monitor is an essential part of any personal computer, and for many laptop and tablent users, an external one makes their productivity while working much easier. For those unfamiliar with how a monitor works, I would like to share with you some of the important features of a monitor and its accessories before buying one.
Monitors display information visually, and are equipped with several pixels that produce visual signals inside using their internal circuitry, and then are reused to light up pixels for users who wish to utilize the device. If you want to plan on purchasing a monitor, you need to pay attention to its refresh rate and response time rates; these are some metrics that can be useful in showing how quickly its image (or colors) are updated or changed.
