Why buy your peripherals from a local distributor

Buying locally reduces lead time risk, eases returns and simplifies invoicing for education and small businesses. We stock popular brands and common form factors so compatibility is easier - think HDMI/DP for modern monitors, USB-A/USB-C for keyboards, and 2.4 GHz dongles or Bluetooth for mice. If you need to confirm stock or reserve items before you travel, Check Stock in Samrand or request a quote for multiple items.

• Branch pickup speeds delivery - collect from Samrand, Pretoria CBD or Cape Town.
• Account quotes and VAT invoices for institutional purchases.
• Accessory bundles (cables, stands, wrist rests) available for immediate add-on.

Key specification callouts to choose the right screen

Match monitors to the work: colour-critical design needs IPS panels and 100% sRGB coverage, while budget coding or office use can favour 60-75 Hz VA/TN panels. Look at resolution vs screen size - 24" 1080p is common for general use, 27" benefits from 1440p for sharper text. Check inputs (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C) and power/stand adjustability for ergonomic setups. We stock brands and parts frequently requested by students and makers; view options and brands on our brands page.

Compatibility guidance for keyboards and mice

Decide first on connection type: wired USB for classrooms where battery management is a problem, 2.4 GHz dongle for low-latency wireless, or Bluetooth for multi-device switching. For makers and engineers, mechanical keyboards with hot-swappable switches simplify customisation; for bulk procurement, look at membrane or scissor-switch models for quiet, inexpensive typing. Consider key layouts (SA vs US) and whether you need numeric pads for data entry.

Spec comparisons, accessory bundles and practical examples

Compare typical peripheral builds quickly: a budget office bundle might be a 24" 1080p monitor, USB wired keyboard and wired optical mouse. A developer or maker setup could be a 27" 1440p IPS monitor, hot-swap mechanical keyboard and Bluetooth mouse with programmable buttons. We assemble accessory bundles on request - HDMI/DP cables, monitor arms, anti-glare filters and wrist rests - so your purchase is ready to deploy in labs or workshops.

Simple calculations and compatibility checks

Use these quick checks when planning purchases:

• Resolution vs PPI: approximate PPI = sqrt(width^2 + height^2) / diagonal_inches. Higher PPI gives crisper text at the same viewing distance.
• Power and ports: confirm your computer’s outputs (HDMI/DP/USB-C). If using USB-C video, ensure the cable and host support DisplayPort Alt Mode.
• Wireless density: in classrooms, choose 2.4 GHz receivers with unique dongles per device to avoid pairing conflicts.
