Brando announced a $17 USB port cleaner gadget. At first glance it’s a great idea and well needed in many situations. How many times has your flash drive been stuffed into your pocket, dropped on the ground or left in the glove box? 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. Honestly, if you feel the need you can grab a alcohol swab and a pop-sickle stick and accomplish the same thing. Although it wouldn’t be nearly as cool.
If you feel the need, Brando is selling the USB cleaner for $17 plus some shipping.
