Contort USB Hub

 

We have a lot of devices that connect via the USB cable and most of the time, our computers just don’t have enough USB ports to insert them in. We are often faced with this problem and it’s just so troublesome to switch between various USB ports when you don’t have enough for each and every one of the devices in the first place.

The Contort USB Hub is not like any other ordinary USB hub. Many of the USB hubs have less than four ports but this one, it has four! With this, more USB devices can be plugged to your computer at the same time! It has no solid cable lining so you won’t have to worry about the USB hub cable breaking since the neck has 360 degrees mobility and is able to rotate freely.

 

The rubber neck is flexible and has a TPE material that protects your devices from being harmed or any unwanted damages that may accidentally occur. The Contort USB hub has a built in cord management with four anchors to coral your cables. One thing that is unique about this USB hub is that it can be extended to accommodate more cables. It is compatible with many types of USB cables such as the iPod Dock connector cable, mini USB and Micro USB and you can use all three at once if you also want to charge an mp3 player or your iPhone.

The Contort USB hub is small, compact and handy USB Gadget. It can be easily carried around and will also fit in your bag perfectly as it does not take up a lot of space. The USB hub is about 35 mm long and can be extended up to 36 mm.

Steampunk USB Geek Cufflinks

 

Picture this, you’re in a meeting with your superiors and you need to save some data to a flash drive, but you realise you don’t have one on you.  Do you a) tell you managers that you have forgot one and leave the meeting to go find one, b) Tell them it doesn’t matter you have photographic memory , or c) pull of your cuff link and impress them with your Steampunk USB flash drive! I know which I would prefer to do.

These pretty awes0me looking cuff links are indeed flash drives, offering up to 8GB of storage space whilst also keeping your shirt cuffs together. These days more or less any item has at some stage been converted into a handy USB storage device; however this is not the first we have heard of actually wearing one but it is one of the best. Now the downside to the Steampunk USB Cufflinks, priced at £225 they are not cheap, however they are hand-carved and encased in walnut.

The USB Battleship Hub

 

I love ships and often set my screensaver and maybe even my wall paper to that theme. But here is an additional element to that I can add to that theme – the USB Battleship Hub.

The Battleship Hub allows you to plug all your USB devices in at one organised spot, helping you prevent loose connections and diving under the table to insert or disconnect the USB device.

For those of you who still havn’t guessed, the hub is in the shape of a battleship and allows for an organised tit-bit of geeky fun.

The Typewriter is back

 

If you’re parents are graying as quickly as mine (or if you’re significantly younger than me, your grandparents), you are probably constantly having to “educate” them on how a computer works. They probably fumble with the keyboard, simply because its looks like a device of grave complication, Atleast to them.

Now they can get that loud hammering of those old fashioned typewriters back with the new USB type of typewriter. Plug it into your USB port and let them bang on all the keys they want and maybe even do that typical ‘go to next line’ action that gives them that kick and a feeling of accomplishment.
