If you’re on the lookout for good deals on computer accessories, AmazonBasics is a great place to look. Amazon’s line of discount accessories is high-quality, reliable and affordable. While they might not be the same quality as Razer or SteelSeries, they are worlds less expensive. With that in mind, let’s check out our ten favorite deals from AmazonBasics!
USB To Ethernet Dongle

For only $13 you can pick up this handy USB to Ethernet dongle. If you have a laptop that doesn’t sport an ethernet cable and want to hardwire your connection, this is a must! Nintendo Switch owners can also use these to hardwire their docked hybrid console. In both cases, opting for a hardwired connection over a wireless one can be ideal, especially with lower-end wireless routers that sport unstable connections.
USB-C to USB 3.1 Adapter

A favorite of MacBook owners, this $6 dongle is a lifesaver. If your laptop has only USB-C ports and you have a USB mouse you’d like to use, this is the answer. An adapter like this is great to throw in a drawer and keep handy for an emergency.
USB-C 4-Port Adapter for 3.1

While the above dongle is awesome for a pinch, some laptop users would prefer a more permanent set-up. For those who need to hook up a printer, mouse, keyboard and a USB thumb drive, this 4-port adapter should suffice. For $16 you can have a more solid laptop set up. Thanks, AmazonBasics!
USB-C Multiport Adapter

Rounding out our USB-C section is this incredibly handy multiport adapter. If you intend to output video from your laptop, this is a must. While $40 may sound expensive for AmazonBasics, it’s a hair cheaper than the competition: these usually run around $60. This dongle has an HDMI port, a USB 3.1 port, and a USB-C pass-through. The pass-through is ideal for a MacBook, so you can charge it while you use the multiport.
Laptop Stand

This stylish stand is a steal for $20. Comparable stands usually run closer to $30, and most of those aren’t quite as durable or solid. If you’re looking for a good way to elevate your laptop for easier typing, this is a good pick. Great for people who work at a desk with a laptop.
Laptop Bag

While it’s not the most stylish laptop bag ever, it’s $15. It has tons of zipper compartments for all your cables and accessories, and it’s very tough. It’ll keep your laptop or tablet safe during a commute to work or on a plane trip. And it’s got a big AmazonBasics logo on it, so everyone can see that you’re a deal-seeker! Kidding, we know you’re just a big Amazon fan.
Laptop Sleeve

If your laptop or tablet commonly goes in a bag on trips, this $12 sleeve is a must-have. It’s a great buy for the price, keeping your expensive tech safe from scratches. It also looks very stylish, unlike the laptop bag. So, if fashion and great deals on accessories are your two passions, this AmazonBasics sleeve if for you!
Wireless Mouse

You really can’t beat $10 for a wireless mouse. The mouse isn’t going to compete with a dedicated gaming mouse or anything, but if you just need a mouse to pair with your laptop this is perfect. The finish is smooth and pleasing, and the mouse is of excellent make. It even has a little crevice for storing the USB receiver when you travel! Great for when you stash your laptop in your laptop bag.
Gaming Mousepad

These massive mousepads are very fashionable at the moment! For $12, Amazon’s humongous pad is a great deal. Designers and gamers swear by the huge mousepad, claiming that it offers more range for navigating your curser on-screen. Who’s to argue with the pros?
Our Favorite AmazonBasics Deal: Mechanical Feel Gaming Keyboard

The absolute best deal of the bunch, for $36 you get a decent facsimile of a gaming keyboard. If you’re interested in dipping your toe in computer gaming, you should check this keyboard out. Where Razer and Logitech offer gaming keyboards that cost fifty or sometimes even one hundred dollars, this AmazonBasics keyboard is a great buy. While the keys aren’t actually mechanical, they do a decent impersonation of the click-clack feedback of true mechanical keyboards. It even features a back light to emulate the popular Razer Chroma-style RGB functionality!
