Top 10 weirdest USB devices ever

After I had published a list of the Top 10 weirdest USB drives ever, it was quite a natural step to start collecting weird USB devices – and trust me there’s LOTS of them out there. Or what do you say about the USB fragrance oil burner or the USB Microscope – they didn’t make it on the final list but you get my point. Here’s the list of the Top 10 weirdest USB devices ever:

Did you know that the former boxer and twice Heavyweight Champion of
the world George Foreman were into USB devices? Well, neither did we.
But for $99.99 you can get your own USB powered grill standing next to
your computer. For whom is this product meant to be? The boxing
interested chef who also is a computer geek? I mean why make an item
like this USB powered? To get some extra press by appearing on lists
like this one? You tell me. Weird is the word. Update
– This item is apparently just an april fools joke, so that means that
our runner up for the list, placement 11, will be added later today.

This product was on and off the list a couple of times, but I finally
decided to let it be within the final 10. This is actually a quite cool
product, and the basic idea is that you aim the darts with your mouse
and fire them off with the mouse button. They are currently sold out at
Marks & Spencer though…

I wish I could have been in that brainstorming meeting where the idea
of producing an USB ghost radar came up. Ok – someone can always come
up with a really crazy idea – but it’s not that often when a quite
unusual idea like the USB ghost radar actually hits the production
line…I mean, is it often you want to scan the area around your computer
for paranormal activity? Hehe.

Do you have cold feet? Do you want to tie yourself up to your laptop
with a 2 metre long USB cable? Then this is the perfect product for
you. USB heated slippers. Can you say awesome?

– Ey, cool mouse you got, is it any good?
– It’s not a mouse stupid, it’s my massage ball!.
Ouch, perfect soothe your tense muscles with this really usable massage ball. Good vibrations.

Why on earth would you want a USB powered self destruction button? You can read that it can be used to block access to certain applications.
Ok. That’s really neat. This one is so weird that I don’t even know how
it’s supposed to be used. It’s definitely worth a place on this list. Update! I’ve got a few mails saying that that this might not be a USB device after all. Stay tuned.

Take a look at this nice little flower. Wouldn’t it be funny to have
one of those plugged into your computer? It’s actually a speaker, and
it comes from the same manufacturer as the USB heating gloves and the
heated slippers…The guys over at Thanko.jp sure has an eye for usable
USB devices. Hehe. It’s so totally crazy that it becomes awesome.

Do you often feel the need to heat up your hands while sitting in front
of your computer? Wow. This is a VERY useful product. Hehe. Especially
since the USB cable is 1.5 metres long. I guess there can be a lot of
Kodak golden moments when people forget they are wearing their ‘heating
gloves’ and gets up in a hurry to answer the phone or open the door –
and crashing their laptop to the ground. Don’t forget to wear these
gloves together with the heated slippers…

Ok, let’s read that again, but take a look at the picture to the right
first. Eye massager. Is that red hand supposed to be an eye massager? I
mean, doesn’t it look like something that might get you blind? I don’t
want this one anywhere near my eyes. Phew. “Hey dude, come over here –
I’m gonna massage your eyes with THIS!”

This isn’t just a USB vibrator. This one includes 5 interchangable
latex probes (wow!), has 10 unique preset pulse/vibrate rhythms
(yihah!), and features a self adjustable finger ring vibrating bullet
(amazing!). Here’s our winner ladies and gentlemen – the Super 10
function USB powered vibrator. Crazy shit.
