The end of the year is the perfect time to take stock of how you tackle the common trio of work, school, and home both for yourself and the people in your life. In the modern world this usually means PC hardware for when serious projects need to be tackled.

For all your peripheral needs look no further than RCT. This brand is really one you should be keeping an eye on in the new year as it brings its power and computing offerings to the fore along with the subject of today’s article – peripherals.

But first, what is RCT? It is the brainchild of accomplished tech distributor Rectron. Founded in 1995, Rectron is coming up on three decades of excellence serving South Africans by not only making big brands available in the country, but doing so timeously and for less money than you may expect. That last part is maybe most important as we continue through uncertain economic times.

RCT and its peripherals are the product of all those years of experience as they are made and sold with a hyper focus on what South Africans want: products that do the job and don’t waste your time or your money.

A perfect example of this is the Wireless Combo bundle which gives you both a wireless keyboard and mouse for just R248.40. That’s R248.80 for the combo, not for each item. We usually expect a huge premium when going wireless but that isn’t the case here.

Every time we have to venture under our work desk to fight through a jungle of wires we curse not switching to a fully wireless setup, and with prices this low it’s easier than ever. Wireless also means an easier time taking your hardware with you, perfect for the students and hybrid workers going between the home and office.

RCT has also focused on a range of what we like to call incidental tech purchases such as HDMI cables, USB hubs and even Kensington locks. These smaller purchases are always a bit of a pain as they’re usually bought so infrequently that you can’t become attached to what a brand has to offer. With RCT now selling these locally you don’t need to fret too much over who to go to for these items.

RCT also has a range of hard drive enclosures which we’re fans of. As streaming services can take our favourite content off at any time, the internet can go out at the drop of a hat and loadshedding continues to haunt the country, we’re becoming more dead set on having instant, physical access to all our content.

Hard drive enclosures give you the freedom to choose your own drive to suit your needs and not worry about how that drive is stored. And, again, Rectron has worked hard to bring these prices right now. The range of enclosures start at just R151.80, a price we can starkly believe as anything electronic usually requires that we at least break out a R200 note.

These are just some highlights of the RCT peripheral range and you can shop the rest here.
