What Goofy USB Devices Have You Found?

Posted by Cliff on from the they-really-make-these-things dept.

pluckyduck asks: "What's the goofiest USB device out there? The links below are by no means an endorsement of the company, just links to goofy USB devices to illustrate my point. The first one is not really a USB device, but a wall adapter in case you want to power your USB Coffee Mug Warmer from a wall outlet (hey, there's a concept!). I believe they also have an auto adapter should you feel the need to run your USB air purifier in the car. The latest PC I bought only has 6 USB ports, I'll need to buy a hub soon!" Yes, they even have USB Massage Balls, as well. Although goofy, some of this stuff could be useful in the right situation. What off the wall USB devices have you found? How might you use some of the devices, that have been listed?

    Of my favourite two (which I have), they include a USB based battery recharger so I can recharge the batteries in my logitech RF mouse (sorry, cant find a link) and the USB Mobile Phone Charger.

    Now, on the goofy side, nothing beats the PC 12V Cigarette Lighter Panel. Okay, it's not USB but it's still insane. I want one just so I can put a 'non-smoker' button in it.

    The Hubzilla was always one of my favorites. This one's Firewire, but worth it for a laugh.
