Boynq Swing USB Hub         


This snazzy looking device designed with Newtons cradle in mind is in fact a USB hub. With 4 female-B flexible cables incorporated into the swing design the Boynq swing adds a bit more style to the normal USB hubs you tend to see in shops which to be perfectly honest are pretty dull and boring. Measuring 13.9cm x 11.4cm the Boynq swing not just looks nice but is fully functional.

Priced at $31.15 from Amazon.com.

Price: $31.15
