Cables are often the forgotten part of our tech arsenal, but they're essential and, if you're careful about it, cheap to buy. We need 'em to charge all of your gadgets and hook them up to your screens and speakers. Adapters, too, help us connect one type to another. If you're in need, these are the cables you want.
A full 1-meter (3.3FT) USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable that supports up to 100W is always useful, but this retractable cable from UGreen keeps things neat and tidy. Throw it in your bag and don't worry about untangling a mess of wires while commuting: it's just ready when you need it.
A two-pack of USB Type-C to Type-C cables. Exciting! These are perfect for a car, especially as they're coiled, which reduces their size to 1.3ft, while still giving you a max length of 3.3ft. These support fast PD 3.0 charging, so you can get your smartphones and tablets charged in fast order. They're braided, too, for extra durability.
This nine-pack of HDMI adapters will live in your junk drawer until called upon to save the day. These are one of those "I may need these one day" purchases that get you out of a tight spot. These adapters come in various configurations.
These are some must-have, inexpensive tools on sale during Amazon Prime Day to keep close at hand. Clean, build, repair, and all for less than $13.
This keyboard cleaning kit features a whole host of tiny tools to help you clear away dirt, grime, and anything else you can think of. All of the tools are housed in a neat multi-tool arrangement, and you get tools to remove dirt and detritus from every aspect of your digital devices. Key cap puller, brushes, lens cleaning, a spray bottle of isopropyl alcohol, metal pins to remove earwax from headphones, and a sponge to keep grease marks off your screen.
With sixteen 14mm driver bits, a knurled handle and a great ABS plastic case, this is a tiny, yet powerful addition to your EDC or go-bag.
Building or repairing a PC doesn't have to come with a huge price tag. There's a whole host of must-buys here, from top-rated thermal paste to SD card readers and Gigabit Ethernet switches to get yourself online faster.
Coming third in our best thermal paste guide , this is an excellent thermal paste from Thermalright.
In our review, we noted that it has excellent thermal performance, delivering great stability as a result. This paste is easy to use and clean up when reapplication is required.
No gimmicks, no fuss, this GPU support brace will stop your (most likely very expensive) GPU from sagging and breaking in your (again, very expensive) gaming rig. If you're spending hundreds or thousands, don't cheap out on the support to keep it safe!
Need a cheap, effective way to keep a bunch of NVMe SSDs cool? This Arctic deal won't hurt your wallet and will keep your drives icy while running.
This SD card reader is from budget-friendly Ugreen and has been previously recommended by Tom's Hardware staffers in the past. With it, you can read microSD, SD, Compact Flash, and Sony Memory Stick cards. Whenever there is a panicked "I've lost the adapter for my camera's memory card" during the holidays, you'll have what you need to save the day with this reader in your pocket.
The TP-Link Litewave 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch LS1005G provides four additional Ethernet ports, delivering reliable, high-speed wired internet for your gaming PC, NAS, console, TV, and other connected devices. Another popular Tom's Hardware recommendation and one that several of us own ourselves.
You've got an old PC, and it doesn't have Wi-Fi. You don't want to spend a ton of money to give it Wi-Fi. This under-$13 Wi-Fi 6 USB dongle will give you the Wi-Fi connection you need at decently fast speeds.
It works without a driver for Windows 10 and 11, and it will most likely work with Linux, but you'll need to take an extra step .
Don't cover your desk with trash. Instead, fill it with these essential accessories, on sale for Prime Day to help you stay organized.
Keep your desk tidy with this simple wall mounted hanger for your headphones, along with support for up to two Xbox, PlayStation, Switch or PC gamepads, too.
Too many USB cables to deal with on your desk? This UGREEN USB 3.0 splitter hooks up to a USB-A port and provides you with four additional ports to connect other devices, from keyboards and mice to webcams and flash drives.
