Rating of the best keyboard + mouse kits for 2020

A properly selected set consisting of a computer mouse and keyboard is needed by everyone, without exception, a person. A weak device can deprive a gamer not only of a few dollars, but also of a gaming rating. What parameters should you look for when choosing much needed gadgets? We propose to talk about this in our article.

Criterias of choice

In order to independently understand all the diversity that the modern market is capable of offering, one should decide on the main selection criteria applicable to each popular model. First, you need to decide how much a person is willing to spend on updating gadgets. The connection interface will play an important role, as well as the purpose of the devices. Is equipment being bought for a computer, laptop or TV? The radius of action deserves special attention.

Budget

First of all, it is necessary to designate a certain amount that a person is willing to spend on a kit. Such expenses can amount to 2,000-20,000 rubles, depending on the configuration and the functionality declared by the manufacturer. It should be noted that an inexpensive kit is also able to cope with the indicated functions. For games, it is recommended to purchase powerful devices. However, it is always more enjoyable to look at and use a beautiful backlit kit. Aesthetics in the life of a modern person plays an important role.

Operational period

It is difficult to overestimate the degree of reliability of the selected device. Experts advise to give preference to a more expensive but practical combination that will work for several years. Few people will like to spend money on a new set every six months. Often the cause of breakdown is a malfunction of the main sensor or switches. However, purchasing a product from a well-known brand negatively affects its value. In most cases, the combo purchased is characterized not only by practicality, but also by durability. But there are also exceptions.

For newcomers to the world of video games, more affordable models from little-known firms are suitable. While advanced users will only pay attention to top-end world-class devices.

Basic Requirements

How to choose the right PC kit? As soon as a person has allocated a certain amount from the family budget, you can think about why this purchase was required.How does a person plan to use the device later? Is it about the day-to-day use of equipment for work? Or are you planning to spend fascinating hours in search of artifacts, wandering in a stunning fantasy world? Even a mechanical mouse can handle light toys, while more advanced manipulators require high-quality optics or a laser. If you plan to sit at the computer for a long time at night, it will not be superfluous to think about the presence of LED backlighting.

It is better to decide on the model before going to the store. Otherwise, a person may make a mistake and choose absolutely not what he needs against the background of a huge assortment and colossal variety. Some people advise buying products from online stores. In addition to the opportunity to get acquainted with the entire assortment, the buyer will have enough time to weigh the pros and cons and purchase exactly what they need.

Optical or laser

This factor is extremely important for professional gamers. If you are planning to buy a gaming mouse that would be convenient to use in everyday life, then you should give preference to a product that is equipped with a high-resolution optical sensor. The potential of such a periphery is amazing. If you plan to win several important competitions in video games, then it is recommended to pay special attention to the quality of the purchased optical sensor. Their sensitivity is high, as is the accuracy of pointing (actuation). This is extremely important in a gaming environment. However, the best manufacturers will charge a high price for such a product.

Membrane or mechanical

It should be noted that purchasing a mechanical fixture will have to revise your budget. This issue should be resolved at the very beginning. For those who do not understand much in terms proposed by the description, you should figure out what to expect:

Benefits of Using Membrane Fixtures	Benefits of using mechanical devices
1. Work much quieter than mechanical analogs. 2. Often, models are protected not only from dust, but also moisture. 3. At a cost, similar products are more affordable.	1. High level of responsiveness. 2. Clicks that many users like so much. 3. The switches are characterized by increased precision. 4. Long service life.

Conclusion

Without a high-quality mouse and keyboard, any computer turns into a heap of scrap metal. Full functioning requires the presence of appropriate manipulators, which are simply soldered in laptops. But even with a high-quality computer, some people prefer to play or work at some distance from their monitors, connecting the PC to TVs or projectors. In this case, you simply cannot do without an auxiliary keyboard + mouse kit.In addition, it will not be superfluous if the selected accessories are made in the same style.

The advantages of buying kits:

1. Visible savings. The kits often cost 15-30% less than similar devices purchased separately. A well-thought-out marketing ploy that will allow some to save money.
2. Compatibility (technical). Gadgets delivered as a set will have one interface. Therefore, problems with connection and further use are not expected (under mice and keyboards, purchased separately, you will need different adapters).
3. Compactness. Low weight can be an advantage if you plan to travel with a laptop for work or study (presentations, defense of coursework / diplomas).
4. General design style. One line will have a corresponding color scheme. This was noted not only by an ordinary user, but also by acquaintances. In addition, such a set can be a wonderful and necessary gift for a dear and close person.
