What are some cool tech accessories that aren't related to phones and tablets in anyway?

I'm not sure where to post this, probably peripherals but IDK really, there needs to be an "Accessories" category.

So basically my dad needs to bring me my PC parts, I need to order a case and a monitor and my PC's ready to go

I'm also looking for some cool stuff that isn't related to phones or tablets (I don't really use my phone much because it's so shitty, I'm saving up for a better one)

What can you recommend me guys? It needs to be inexpensive (I know Linus has vids on that but I haven't found anything interesting and there's too much phone stuff in these vids)

Cable management. SO much cable management. I have a few of those around my house that I cut to size... Best decision

Ethernet switches or drawing tablets (<- does that one count? It's not related to the other type of tablets :P )

Other than that, mechanical keyboards, mice or controllers (like Xbox or PS3 controllers)

Xbox or PS3 like controllers :)

Now that I read it, I could have been pointing to other sort of controllers :P

 

EDIT: fan controllers are cool too ;)

USB vacuum for your keyboard and tons of other usb devices like a Nerf rocket launcher. headphones, mouse pads, mouse bungee, docking station for storage drives. maybe a chromecast.

it totally depends on what you like... Because there is stuff like the makey makey or the arduino that are super fun but require a bit of DiYing it to get something cool to happen. I mean if you just want something to play with while you install your OS then you might like some of the stuff above.

USB LED strips, seriously, they add a bit of atmosphere and depending on what you go with they can help reduce eye strain.
