 |
|
A peripheral is a type of computer hardware that is added to a host computer, in order to expand its abilities. More specifically the term is used to describe those devices that are optional in nature, as opposed to hardware that is either demanded, or always required in principle.
The term also tends to be applied to devices that are hooked up externally, typically though some form of computer bus like USB. Devices such as monitors or disk drives are not considered peripherals because they are not truly optional, and video capture cards are typically not referred to as peripheral because they are internal devices.
You can find support here in this forum for periphery hardware such as:
Keyboard
Mouse
Trackball
Joystick
Touch screen
Joypad
Image scanner
Computer speech recognition
Webcam
