There are a large number of peripherals that we can use to be able to play or directly to have the most basic functions of a computer, as we well know, depending on the price and brand, the quality of these will be higher or lower, along with other aspects that we must have. always in mind. This also applies to combos or packs of peripherals that we can find in many stores, something that in the vast majority may seem like a perfect idea for buybut it really is not something that is worth it unless we are looking for a quick and cheap solution.
The need to have a mouse, keyboard and headphones that offer us decent quality is increasing, there are many users who seek to try to find the perfect balance between the price they have together with the performance and durability that they are capable of providing, Therefore, many people end up resorting to packs that include everything necessary to use a PC.
But in most cases, opting for one of these combos ends up being a pretty bad option, since trying to save as much money as possible, it is likely that we will find ourselves in the situation of having to change these peripherals for others shortly after. since the durability is quite low, while they have other additional disadvantages.
These are the main problems with peripheral packs
It is clear that one of the best ways to know if something is worth it or not is in the opinions that users have about it, and it is clear that those that have the packs are not usually too positive, especially if we talk about those of brands that offer extremely cheap solutions. In general, these types of combos that include a keyboard along with a mouse (and sometimes headphones) offer a cheap solution for those people looking for a series of peripherals regardless of what they can really offer.
But the problem, as we well know, is that cheap is expensive in the end. In my own experience with this type of pack, most did not last more than 8 months without breaking down, regardless of the brand, finding the fault mainly in the keyboards they incorporate. Virtually all of them incorporate membrane keyboards that have an extremely limited lifespan, since in addition to using this system that breaks easily, they also use low quality materials, of the 5 packs that I have personally had, the keyboard was always the one that had to be changed first.
On the other hand, mice are usually quite basic with low quality sensors, but compared to how long keyboards last they are much better, if we do not count the additional side buttons (in case they include them) since they are the first in break in most cases. And if we talk about the headphones, there is not much to say either, most of them fulfill their function but the fault is mostly in the cables, which in the end with use can present imperfections and since they are not reinforced, they end up breaking quite frequently.
When is it worth opting for a pack of this type?
As we have indicated, in general it is not a good idea buy a package of this type, much less when it is quite expensive, since there are models that range from €20 to €100, and if we want to invest these €100 it is much better to wait until there is a offer of the peripherals We want to get them at a discount instead of opting for a lower quality combo.
But it is true that for an emergency or as something temporary that lasts between 6-8 months (and even a year if we are lucky) it can be a solution if we opt for the ones that are cheaper, although obviously they will be models with limitations. quite considerable in certain aspects.
