USB peripheral
Plug-in device addition
A USB peripheral is any device that connects to a computer through a USB port—keyboards, mice, printers, external drives, webcams, and countless others.
The term distinguishes plug-in devices from the computer's core components.
Most USB peripherals are plug-and-play, recognized automatically when connected: I need a USB hub because I have too many USB peripherals.
