You have a computer fanatic around you, but you Don't know what to give him for the holidays? We bet these five accessories will make a great Christmas stockings, even for those that are the hardest to buy.

A parametensive device
A parametensive device is essential for any type of PC, whether it is a laptop or a desktop. It protects your PC from a sudden electrical shock that could burn valuable components. This situation is more common than you think, and the reality is that most PCs have little to protect them from these potential surges.
The parametertensors are not particularly expensive and are well worth the small investment they require. You Don't need anything crazy. A simple wall socket such as Addtam's surge protector to be plugged into an ordinary multiplug is sufficient.
Many multiplugs also incorporate surge protection, so you may already have what you need. For more safety, make sure your multiplug offers protection of at least 2,000 joules.
How to install Garuda Linux on your PC
The NZXT Puck or a headset support
Chances are that you spend a lot of your time on your PC with headphones. The problem is that there is never a perfect place to put the headphones when they are not in use. If you put them on the desk, they may fall, as is the case when they rest on the PC tower.
The NZXT Puck is a popular way to counter this problem. At first glance, it sounds ridiculous to spend $20, but it's surprisingly well spent. In addition to providing a convenient place to hang your headphones, it can also easily assemble and hold extra cables.
Even in the era of automatic backup desktop programs, you can still lose your job due to a power outage on a desktop PC. This is where the uninterruptible power supply (or UPS) comes in. These units contain large batteries and are equipped with several standard sockets for your desktop PC, screen, printer and other equipment.
There are all kinds of inverters, but the APC and CyberPower brands are the most popular. Many users also prefer to buy the most expensive types that provide a pure sinusoidal output.
These devices are not supposed to act as energy generators that allow you to work for hours when the lights go out.
An Anker USB hub
If you have a laptop with a limited number of USB ports, or if your desktop tower has only one or two at the front, a USB hub can be very useful. While desktop computers usually have a ton of USB ports in the back, they are difficult to access and use. A USB hub prevents you from having to manipulate the ports at the back of the machine, except when absolutely necessary.
You can also find USB concentrators in a fairly wide price range. Anker products tend to be good choices, and the brand offers a wide variety of options at affordable prices.
An extended mouse mat (and RGB!)
Put it in the luxury column, but there's nothing like having a mouse mat spread under your keyboard and mouse. This gives you much more room to negotiate with your mouse and offers a more pleasant feeling than a cold, hard desktop under your keyboard. There is even enough room for a coaster if you want to put your coffee cup in it.
Les tapis de souris sont proposés à différents prix. Si vous voulez un tapis avec un éclairage sur les bords, Razer a ce qu’il vous faut. Si l’éclairage RVB n’est pas votre truc, vous pouvez vous procurer le tapis de souris étendu de Corsair pour seulement 30 $.
À l’exception de la protection contre les surtensions, aucun de ces accessoires pour PC n’est indispensable. Ils améliorent cependant votre expérience quotidienne, que ce soit par une alimentation supplémentaire qui vous empêche de perdre votre travail ou par des petits luxes qui vous facilitent la vie.
