      @@Uncover48 The point was that these pop up as "amazon recommended items" when purchasing those products, ipso, the algorithm on the site decided they were equivalent. Jo schmo is going to see a recommended product with the Amazon name on it and go, "jeez that's 1/5th the price, thank god, now I can save some money". That's the point.

      Typing this on a 28 dollar mechanical keyboard by the brand of "Sunsonny", as recommended by Linus Tech Tips.
      It even has RGB. Comes from Amazon(.de).
      As for wireless; Microsoft also sells 25 dollar keyboard & mouse combo's that are not even complete garbage.
      Sure, Amazon Basics does the trick, but if you think it's your best budget option, you should probably do some research.
      On average Amazon Basics is the level of stuff you'd buy at the dollar store. That keyboard is available somewher for 5.99. The speakers probably for 7.99.
      That mouse seems reasonably good value.
      What Amazon does here is make it sound cheap, so you think it actually is cheap. But it's not, really.

    The Amazon basic speakers are a great deal imo. Sound ok. Have long cords, allowing them to be shared or placed wherever needed. And most importantly, they are durable. They have survived being treated pretty poorly. Dropped multiple times. Once into a five gallon bucked of water. Drained them, let them dry out a couple hours, still working. Have had them for a few years now. So maybe not for an audiophile. But for desk speakers, they are fine.

    I have that amazon basics set of speakers. Worse than the old Amazon Basics set in the sense that they draw enough power that my monitor's USB port cannot power them. Better in the sense that it has a headphone port. Headphone port's audio quality is bad enough to be mostly unusable. Also, I had to use electrical tape to cover the bright LED. Electrical tape works quite well in that role. I forgot that I had covered the LED until I saw this view.
    Either way, I am back to using the old set, since my monitor is capable of powering them, and the small green LED is much dimmer than the bright blue glare device in the newer set.
