Black Laptop Accessories

Black: the colour that goes with every laptop

Black is the safe choice and the most common one. A black sleeve or bag hides scuffs and the marks of daily carrying, a black keyboard and mouse sit quietly beside any laptop, and black cables, hubs and plugs disappear against a dark desk. It is the colour most of the shop's products are offered in, so this is the broadest of the colour pages, with something from almost every department.

How a product gets onto this page

Products are filed here by the colours they are offered in. A product that comes in black, as one of its colour choices or in its own name, is on this page, and on the page for each of its other colours too. So the first photo on a product may show another colour. Choose black from the choices on the product page before you add it to your basket.

What you will find in black

• Sleeves and bags, the largest part: sleeves in every size, backpacks, messenger and shoulder bags, briefcases, waterproof bags and tech pouches. See laptop sleeves.
• Keyboards and mice: compact, Bluetooth and mechanical keyboards, wireless and Bluetooth mice, vertical mice and keyboard and mouse sets. See keyboards and mice.
• Gaming kit: gaming mice, keyboards, headsets and PC controllers. See gaming on a laptop.
• Cooling and stands: cooling pads, cooling stands with fans, vertical and adjustable stands. See laptop cooling.
• Small protection: port dust plugs, webcam covers, MacBook hard-shell cases and skins.
• Desk set-up: footrests, under-desk cable trays, wrist rests, mouse mats and organisers.

Matching black things together

Black is black, but materials are not. Matte plastic, glossy plastic, braided nylon, felt and brushed metal each catch the light differently, so a black sleeve and a black mouse will look like a pair rather than an exact match. If you want a set that looks the same, choose the same material: the shop by material pages put fabric with fabric and silicone with silicone.

Black is also practical where things get handled. A black keyboard cover hides the grey of daily use, and a black bag does not show the dirt from a train floor the way a pale one does.

Questions people ask about black laptop accessories

Why is a product on this page shown in another colour?

Because black is one of several colours it comes in, and its first photo shows another. Open the product and choose black from its colour choices.

Does black show dust?

Dust and fingerprints show on any dark, glossy surface, and a matte finish hides them better. A soft, dry microfibre cloth lifts them; the guide to cleaning a laptop has the makers' advice for the laptop itself.

Are the keyboards here in a UK layout?

Some are and some are US layout. Each keyboard's page says which, and the keyboard guide explains the difference.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery is included in every price and tracked to your door. Each product page says when it usually arrives.
