I'm not sure if I understood the use-case. Do you want to loop all items?

vars:
  component: [ mouse, keyboard, cpu ]
tasks:
  - import_tasks: "{{ item }}.yml"
    loop: component

Or, do you want to import only selected components?

vars:
  component: [ mouse, keyboard, cpu ]
  selected: [ mouse, cpu ]
tasks:
  - import_tasks: "{{ item }}.yml"
    loop: selected
    when: item in component

(not tested)
