Yeah, maybe I talk about iPads and iPad accessories a bit much, but this is seriously cool, so let’s just get this out of the way and I swear I’ll move on to something a little less iPad-centric, aight? Aight. So this is pretty self-explanatory. Jack Zylkin is man who couldn’t be bothered with the comfy, convenient ergonomics of modern input devices, and apropos has taken up the previously-unclaimed mantle of ‘guy who invented the USB typewriter’. Billed as ‘a new and groundbreaking innovation in the field of obsolescence’, the USB typewriter is, in fact, a typewriter – or rather several different…

There’s never a shortage of interesting storage options for the full spectrum of geek chic. Earlier this week, I showed you guys concrete USB drives, for the gentleman interested in walking softly and carrying a really big stick. For the yet-more sophisticated gentlesir, today I impress upon you nothing short of USB cufflinks. You know, for those times you absolutely need to bring some porn or your DVD rip of The Dark Knight to a funeral. Designer Ravi Ratan is particularly smug about his 4GB links (2x2GB), providing an unprompted ‘you’re welcome’ on the cufflinks.com listing. Gotta appreciate…

I haven’t been this impressed since steel mousepads. For no discernible reason whatsoever, designer Shu-Chun Hsiao brings us – what else – concrete USB sticks. As a designer I give Hsiao a high five for no other reason than this rules. Concrete tech? I wish I had a laptop made out of the stuff. I question the practicality of lugging one of these things around with you, but then again, with the capacity (which is also the weight – clever as hell, right?) stamped right into the side, no one will ever call you a nerd again. Or you’ll beat them to death with your concrete USB stick. [Via Yanko Design]…

Perfect for people in business or the absent-minded blogger, these USB post-its are a godsend. The design is so simple; I am not sure how anyone could not have thought of it before. We have all had those moments while sitting at our computers when we have needed to make a few quick notes, and with no paper in sight had to running looking around the house or office for some scrap. But with these babies on the market now, our prayers are answered. It is a USB memory stick with a notepad attached to the back of it, and to keep the paper ready for scribbles and protecting it from wrinkles – there is a plastic slider…

Just when you thought having portable battery power couldn’t get any more crazy, the people at Brando have released this USB powered Wrist Band Battery. For those times when you have to charge your cell phone, laptop, or video game machine on the go, why not do it in style? Well I hope that this isn’t the next trend in fashion. It comes with a rechargeable 1500mAh Lithium ion battery and weights 82g. Using my trusty online conversion calculator, that comes to 0.180779 lbs. So it seems to be extremely light. I guess some people might think its a giant watch. It comes packaged with various connectors:…

Everyone knows the perfect gift for any geek is the USB coffee cup warmer. I personally have over 75 of them, gifts from family and friends who don’t understand that geeks are human beings, not just coffee-drinking computer addicts. The days of warming only a cup are over. The Brainwave is a microwave. That plugs into a USB port. Crazy though it seems, this has never been done before. The USB microwave is an invention that will have geeks cheering and chefs bawling, but one thing is now certain: The days of getting up from your desk to prepare lunch are over. But wait. If your mind wasn’t already boggled,…

Getting a virus on your computer can ruin your day, week and possibly make you spiral down like this guy. It’s a threat that will always be there and as new virus’ are created, so are new anti-virus technologies. The USB flash drive is becoming a more common way to transfer files and the virus problem can still exist as you drag and drop files on to your drive. Designer, Wu Jiang, has hopefully found a solution to this problem with this innovative and futuristic looking USB Device. The U+ has a built in virus scanner that will catch a corrupt file before it hits your flash drive. The “X” shaped design resembles…

Are you like most of us and despise moving your pinky finger over an inch to hit the Enter key on your keyboard? I know, its quite stressful on your poor finger and frustrating when you miss and hit the “Quotation” key. Well, what if I were to tell you, that instead of using your pinky finger for the Enter key, you can use your foot. Thanko, a company based out of Tokyo, has released a 3-pedal unit that allows you to assign a key on your keyboard to each pedal. Ultimate laziness?, or incredibly amazing time-saver? This current product is compatible with Windows XP, 7, and Vista. I’m not one for playing too…

A USB stick that shows you what’s on it, without having to actually plug it into your computer? Yes please! They were really thinking of convenience when they came up with the idea for this. It’s really simple: the pink area shows images, the blue represents documents and green is for movies and other multimedia files. The colors fill up the space in proportion to how much is actually stored so you’ll be able to tell what’s taking up the most room and where there’s extra space to add files. The design for this new USB stick is just a prototype at the moment but it will hopefully be on the market soon. You’d…

Everyday I get more and more amazed at what we are spending money on. A USB bag that will chill your beverage. Yes, you read that correctly. So wait, you’re saying that we found a way to convert USB power into cold energy? I guess for the hard-core gamers, (myself included) we understand the pressures and strength it takes to get up, go to the fridge, and get a cold drink. Well now sit your butt down and continue playing all night long. Head over to uxsight.com and order your very own USB powered Beverage Chiller Bag. This innovative invention will save you from that spoiled milk, or the thought of your beer…
