There are a lot of computer manufacturers who try to attract more computer customers by offering extra peripherals. They might be good at excellent computers, but that does not mean their peripherals are also great. For example, the keyboards may not be ergonomic ones or they can be comfortable for some yet may cause joint pain for others. When we get new computers, there is a need to add some items within our budget, especially ergonomic mouse or keyboard.

Then, we need to make a plan of the computer peripherals based on our work or entertainment. If we want to make our computer into a media center, maybe we need to get computer speakers, but we still need to take into consideration the type of system we should get. A room with a 5.1 system may just disturb our neighbors. A 2.0 system for a large living room may work well.

When we get new peripherals, we may need to get prepared for any possible learning curve. That is, we may just feel not comfortable with some new accessories like mice at first just because we are not used to them. If a peripheral accessory hurts us when we use it, we can stop using it immediately. But if we can hardly accustom to new peripherals yet they do not cause pain, we may need some time.

Finally, never forget to prepare some peripheral accessories such as external hard drives, hard drive docking station or USB hubs. As we get more and more digital gadgets, our computer lack USB ports to juice the gadgets or transfer data to several gadgets at the same time, and we need USB hub that can offer us super speed data transfer rate. Besides, now we have more and more data and we need external hard drive. It doesn't matter how large that internal hard drive is - we still need to store our data in a separate location. Of course we can consider cloud storage service. Also, we can choose to use USB hard drive dock station to turn internal hard drives into external ones.
