best peripherals you can't buy here?

[humza007]

okay genuine question, what are the peripherals worth buying that you just can't get in SA?

I am looking to upgrade my pc setup and I keep finding cool stuff online that's either not stocked here or a nightmare to import. so what's actually worth the hassle? keyboards, switches, keycaps, mice, deskmats, whatever you rate. drop your recs

Using a laptop or NUC you cant do much about the graphics card but being able to add this ....
No need for a full separate gaming PC

How are your tension rings holding up? Every premium gamepad is getting tension rings now. From what I know they become loose in time.

Friend got this:
https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-ex-docking-station

It's basically a PCIe docking station for their NUC, so you can add the graphics card separately / remove when you don't need and it becomes a lot lower power machine while being compact.

Was considering doing similar setup, just need the graphics card in my current nuc for hobby projects, outside of that no need, and would be nice to lower power consumption (more about heat in summer, and less noise).

I do play a lot less than I used to, and stuff is usually not graphics intensive, so it can probs replace my gaming machine as well, just pc is quieter (large fans / fractal torrent).

VR headsets are basically parallel import, not sure if counts as peripheral, but did use it as a screen for work sometimes when traveling as needed screens.

Generally you can get most stuff that you'd want, just more expensive.
