Solar Rechargeable Wireless Optical Mouse

Rich Gates May 21, 2012 Brando USB, Wireless

The four adjective computer USB mouse does exactly as what the name describes.Â I’m also a big fan to see computer products taking the step towards solar power rather then other means.Â Why not, the sun is always out [oh wait, I’m in SoCal] Sure the hand will cover the solar panel, but there is plenty of time you’re hand is not covering the solar cells for recharging.

Recharging takes place to the single AAA battery inside the unit.Â If the power does drain too much, you can swap the battery for a non-chargeable one. 2.4Ghz wireless spec gets you the communication you need with out the interference you might expect. Personally, I’d rather see Bluetooth as this little guy takes up a USB port for the wireless dongle on the host side. The Solar rechargeable wireless optical USB mouse is compatible with Windows back to XP, Linux and Mac operating systems, so ya, standard stuff. Continue Reading

USB Port Cleaner – Is It Needed?

Rich Gates May 20, 2010 Brando USB

Brando announced a $17 USB port cleaner gadget.Â At first glance it’s a great idea and well needed in many situations.Â How many times has your flash drive been stuffed into your pocket, dropped on the ground or left in the glove box?Â In each of those situations it’s very likely junk or debris could have made it into the USB contacts.

The USB cleaner appears to be an alcohol based solution on the pad where by it cleans the metal contacts of the USB port.Â Honestly, if you feel the need you can grab a alcohol swab and a pop-sickle stick and accomplish the same thing.Â Although it wouldn’t be nearly as cool.

If you feel the need, Brando is selling the USB cleaner for $17 plus some shipping. Continue Reading

iMONO 13 Port USB Hub

Rich Gates May 11, 2010 Brando USB, USB Hub

Will this USB hub give you chub?Â With 13 ports all rolled up into one case, it’s a gadget lovers dream to power all those things USB.Â In addition iMONO went green with giving us the ability to turn off a port and save energy going to a device. A quick glance through the specifications shows that an external power adapter is not available so you might run low on the bus powered juice if you’ve got too many power hungry gadgets [say several USB hard drives], but for powering your MP3 players, sticks, and humping dogs, should be ideal.

The 13 port hub runs for $30. Continue Reading

USB Rechargeable RC Helicopter

Rich Gates February 25, 2010 Brando USB, Useless Novelty

The mini RC helicopters have been in all the computer shops as of lately, and Brando just upped the ante with their USB rechargeable version, the Grand NANO.

I’ve seen these things in action, don’t use them around small children, the helicopter blades move so fast, it could cut off a finger if flown right into a child [by mistake of course!]. The Grand NANO is made of light weight metal alloy and has shockproof landing gear.Â This makes it a bit less likely you’ll smash the thing while landing. The Grand NANO has an electronic gyroscope system which provides excellent stability, control and maneuverability. Equally impressive, is the modified poker chip case for quick and easy storage of the USB rechargeable helicopter.

Not The Cougar We’d Like To Mention

Rich Gates November 12, 2009 Brando USB

Not the cougar we’d like to mention, but just as hot.Â Brando has a Transformer USB stick that goes from 2GB of storage to Cougar in a couple twists and turns. Granted anyone over 30 probably couldn’t get the stick back from cougar shape to USB shape, but that’s half the fun, right?

Transformer USB

The cougar comes in the black body shape or the spotted white and green body shape. Sure you can grab a 2GB stick for under $10 over here, but for the USB Transformer drive, it’ll more than triple, at $45.
