compatibles
Things that mesh
Things that work together harmoniously or can coexist without conflict.
The term appears most often in computing and technology, where compatibles are devices or software that function with a particular system: IBM compatibles dominated the PC market.
The word can also describe people who get along well or products designed to work together.
