Liquid USB Mouse

Matt Laboff June 19, 2007 Useless Novelty

I for one am a wireless USB mouse guy, but those looking for a techno kid gift, this might do the trick. The liquid optical USB mouse is available in Little Ducky or Nemo Fish and swims upon movement. I can say with 99% accuracy nothings making them move other then your vigorous shaking – think Nemo turns up-side-down after too much? Continue Reading

USB Purse Couldn’t Be Worse

Matt Laboff June 13, 2007 Flash Storage, Useless Novelty

There are far-n-few between geeky gals out there to make the USB Handbag something of value other than an exercise in creative design. Here the designer, Dima Komissarov includes the USB purse to inflate [like USB Spongebob] as capacity increases.

Don’t know about you, but it all looks Photochop’d to me. Continue Reading

Little Miss Sunshine USB Radio Van

Matt Laboff June 12, 2007 Audio, Useless Novelty

Okay, so the VW Bus is missing the flowers, but the USB clock radio is kinda cool when in the shape of a gelopie van.

Available in the four color configurations (above), you get a fully functioning AM/FM radio along with alarm clock which displays out the rear window. If you’re looking to down-grade your sound system connect an MP3 player or CD player to the Volkswagen USB bus via audio jack for below par sound. Obviously a “green” VW Bus as no gas is needed, just a AC power source or USB connection to your PC.

Product retails for about $65 USD and can be purchased directly from Abaido. Continue Reading

USB A$$ Blower

Matt Laboff June 11, 2007 Useless Novelty

We all blow hot air from time-to-time. Whether it be talking smack to our boss about how busy we are, or literally blowing hot air after a Mexican lunch outing, it’s good to know we have “back up” from the folks at Thanko.

The USB cooling system is designed to cool off that hot seat of yours. I couldn’t think of a more pleasant way to share those personal moments all the while staying cool while under fire. I’m definitely going to file this under useless USB gadgets. If you have the need, jump over to Thanko and pick up a USB seat cooler…or fart blower, depending on how you look at it. I wonder what she’s smiling about?

A Working Easy Button, USB Style

Matt Laboff June 1, 2007 USB News, Useless Novelty

If life could work like the Easy Button I’d be much better off. I could write this post in one smack-down on the Easy Button. Well, now I can actually do that! Buzline offers a USB Easy Button gadget to simplify your daily tasks. OK, so maybe it wont actually write a blog post, but it can launch your favorite web browser, software program or iTunes software via USB. Available in a variety of colors the USB Easy Button can further be customized with company logo silk-screened – all you need is a purchase agreement of 50 units or more. I don’t think my desk has room for that many.

QiGO USB Keys Unlock Internet Experience

Matt Laboff May 30, 2007 USB News, Useless Novelty

So you’ve got a killing web experience but have no idea how to convince your visitors to pay for the premium product. Maybe some physical marketing material would help.

That’s the exact idea QiGO is going after.

“More and more companies are offering paid premium internet services but there is no compelling way to sell that experience physically, such as at retail or in a gift box. It’s still virtually impossible to go into a retail store today and buy an internet experience such as a one year’s subscription to a Web site or access to a popular band’s premium fan site,”

USB Plasma Ball; Shocking Twist

Matt Laboff May 26, 2007 Brando USB, Useless Novelty

Brando, maker of all cheezy USB things, is attempting to rekindle the plasma ball. Although you wont find the USB plasma ball at your local Spencer’s Store Brando is offering it for $16 and ships directly to anywhere in the world. Here at GetUSB.info we couldn’t think of a better way to idolize the USB stick then putting some electric shock around it. Potential security feature? Maybe I’ll stop giving Brando a hard time for the boat-load of USB crap they keep pumping out. Continue Reading

USB Panic Button – Obvious Stealth

Matt Laboff May 18, 2007 USB Hub, Useless Novelty

Can I apply oxymoron to a product? If I could this would be it. The USB panic button. The idea is a single tap on the panic button clears your computer screen of those ~~erm~~ suspect websites and opens a generic document so your boss or wife doesn’t catch your mouse where it shouldn’t be.

Another tap of the USB panic button and “game-on.” My problem with this useless USB gadget is the large, obtrusive, colorful button grabs plenty of attention and your boss will want to push it as badly as you. BAMB, now you’ve got your boss in your face and p-rn on the screen. Too bad those Corona Time-Out’s don’t really work. The USB novelty gadget is kinda cool, but it’s definitely not the USB self-destructing button. Continue Reading

Mario Brothers USB Mouse

Matt Laboff May 17, 2007 USB Input Device, Useless Novelty

Stuck in the past, listening to your play-list of 80s music and still trying to beat your high score on Donkey Kong? This stylish Mario Brothers or Golden Star mouse might get you that mojo you need to actually do it!

Both offer a retro 8-bit appeal and feature the original mechanical mouse ball mechanism that you probably forgot existed. Push one of these beauties across your desk and imagine that you are playing Super Mario Brothers… rather than filling out those boring TPS reports. For only $24 give your self the gift of the past – or maybe a good Father’s Day gift. Continue Reading

Old School Eraser Leads 2nd Life as USB Flash Drive

Matt Laboff May 11, 2007 Flash Storage, USB News, Useless Novelty

New Launches posted this old school eraser which houses a USB flash drive.

The clever design is an irony of sorts, the eraser erases your mismatched efforts while the USB Drive stores them!

The flash drive is a 1GB size and is available for about $100 USD. What is hard to get my hands around is the ability to turn anything into a flash drive these days. I did a post yesterday of the top 19 cheeziest flash drives from over seas, on top of the strange one’s I’ve reported on, like Spongebob, Pez figures and the USB bullet. Continue Reading

Some of you wouldn’t be caught dead with these on your person, others just might want to buy a container full. Below is my list – not in any particular order – along with a link to the manufacturer in case one catches-ur-eye or tickles-ur-fancy. Enjoy. Continue Reading

A Little USB Fan Fair

Matt Laboff May 2, 2007 Useless Novelty

With summer just around the corner now might be a good time to start thinking about how to keep cool. Elecom put some design effort into their latest USB fan collection. Along with design efforts, they must have gotten a new photographer – these are probably the most sexed-up USB fan pictures you’ll ever see.
