Surge protector / Mousepad / Adapter

[Satyr]

So I need to buy some things

1. surge protector and/or additional outlets
2. plug adapters (to put on the end of US plugs on electronics)
3. Voltage converter
4. VGA monitor cable
5. Mousepad
6. power cord for xbox 360

How would you translate these? I need to ask people at the store if they have them.

I have started researching and found
1. zapatilla eléctrica
2. ?
3. Convertidor de voltaje?
4. un cable VGA para monitor
5. ?
6. fuente de poder para xbox 360

There will be other ways to say these things, I'm sure, but here are my suggestions:
1. protector de sobrecarga(s)/corriente
zapatilla = power strip
2. adaptador enchufe
3. convertidor de voltaje/corriente/corriente a voltaje
4. cable VGA (del/para el monitor)
5. alfombrilla para ratón
6. cable de alimentación para Xbox 360

¡Divertite!

I'm mostly familiar with Mexican Spanish, so the options I give you will be slanted that way. They may or may not be understood in Argentina.

surge protector = regulador
power strip (additional outlets) = tira de contactos
plug adapters -- Mexico uses the same plugs as the US, so I'm not sure, but I'd try "adaptadores para el enchufe"
voltage converter = convertidor de voltaje / transformador de voltaje
VGA monitor cable = cable para monitor (VGA) (you probably don't have to specify VGA).
mousepad = tapete para mouse / tapete para ratón
power cord = cable de luz
power cord para xbox 360 = cable de luz para un xbox 360

6. fuente de poder para xbox 360

Note "fuente de poder" is power supply, not power cord.

Hope that helps

Earlier before posting this I found an electronics store in the mall and went to purchase some of these necessary tools only to realize I did not know how to explain the power strip in Spanish and because I was unable to actually find one in the store I had to settle with only buying a teclado because I actually remembered that word. Haha. Now i have the ñ and ¿ keys and can make accents. The Spanish keyboard actually changes around alot of the extra character placement. This will take some time to adjust to.

Also, it seems zapatilla eléctrica is the best word in Arg for power strip or should I say electric shoe haha. Searching mercadolibre.com.ar only yeilded the desired results when using zapatilla eléctrica.

Yes, David the adapter plugs are the same on U.S.A and Mexico too, the Cable VGA for Monitor is the same here and there on your country.
