disagree  Paola Turakiewich Fantina: Si dice que no se incluyeron es porque hay que comprarlos por "separado" o comprarlos "sueltos" como comúnmente se dice.

Explanation:
Creo que existe un problema de redacción en la versión original. Cuando dice "la compra de accesorios sueltos de control" entiendo que puede ser "la compra de accesorios por separado", es decir comprar por separado los accesorios que falten, por ejemplo. No le veo mucho sentido a "loose accesories". Si están "sueltos" o sea "no ajustados" ¿por qué habría uno de comprarlos?

¡Espero haber sido de ayuda!

neutral  Ryan Armbrust Diaz (X): Paola, a peripheral is a type of hardware that is added in order to expand abilities.More specifically the term is used to describe those devices that are optional in nature.That means it is separate!So why contradict others explaining the same thing?

Reference information:
Hola,
en base al contexto creo que la traduccion correcta sea "loose accessories", por un problema con el raton confirmé la voz arriba.
La razon es esta: se trata de partes o componentes que creo sean basicos para el funcionamiento
