Or a keyboard.

Well, if you go backwards to the primeval days when we were foregather a wee diminutive book (and for the record, at that point, I personally didn’t add participate what a book was), it invoke discover that OhGizmo has a amount of 1,073 posts most USB clog of varied degrees of usefulness.

Make that 1,074.

So if you poverty to block every of the USB clog that we’ve cursive most in at once, you’ll domain 45 of these 24 opening USB hubs. At $70 each, that’s $3,145. Better move saving; you crapper encounter them at USB Fever.

This little USB accessory from Buffalo has got to be the easiest way to throw an impromptu LAN party anywhere you want without having to resort to something as annoying and under performing as an ad-hoc wireless network. The three port router is powered entirely by one USB port, and means you and two of your friends can get together and frag each other (or exchange massive amounts of porn) at speeds of up to 100 Mbps. It’s nothing particularly fancy, but it works, it’s portable, and it’s cheap, too: it’ll go on sale later this month for about $25.

Well this one’s pretty self-explanatory. Elecom’s horribly named ‘U2H-TC410B’ USB hub is designed to mount to the side of your desk or a nearby wall, thanks to its magnetic backing or a set of included hooks, so that you always have easy access to a set of 4 USB ports. And the ports are generously spread out to accommodate thicker USB cables or larger flash drives. $39.99 from AudioCubes in your choice of black or white.

While we here at Engadget are doing everything in our power to get this philosophical “economy” back “on track,” it’s items like these that aren’t doing anything to help. No innovation. No stimulating capabilities. No utility at all, really. Just a webcam that scans business cards, an MP3 player shaped like a cow and a flash drive that’s absolutely not certified for circulation by the Democratic National Committee. Though, we must say that they’re all tailor made for Crapgadget, which is (just barely) good enough for us — drop your vote for the lamest below!

Seriously, just listen at this and try to stifle your sighs. “Bling Bling USB optical mouse.” “Jewel Necklace USB flash drive.” “Turtle-Look USB 2.0 Hub with a tray.” “Magic Sensor LCD Alarm Clock.” “Insect USB Mini Fan.” Yes, friends, this is the type of utter garbage we’re dealing with in this episode of Crapgadget. Honestly, we’re simultaneously astounded and deeply depressed that anyone would even consider dishing out their hard-earned cheddar for any of this rubbish, but we’re doing our darnedest to pretend that these were simply created for us to have a laugh at.The week’s strongest contender? Some superhero magnet pixels… and that’s saying something.

Brando, known for its zany USB gadgets (and for playing Superman’s father Jor-El) is back on the scene with a combination SATA HDD dock / stereo speaker / USB hub. This might not come with the laugh appeal of, say, the Buffalo USB speakers — and it may not tell you the temperature at your desk — but if you don’t mind one of these ugmos cluttering up your workstation we’re sure you’ll be able to put it to good use. Features include: compatibility with both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA hard disks, two USB 2.0 ports, USB audio, three watt stereo speakers (with “rich timbre”), and volume control.Yours for a smooth $59.

You know what’s not uncommon on Brando USB hubs? Weird things. You know what is uncommon on USB hubs in general? Thermometers. The Rota-Rota hub takes USB hubs where they’ve likely never, ever been before (and may very well never return to) by including a trio of rotating USB ports, a multicard reader and dials that read out the current room temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. If those tools sound like the perfect addition to your desk, hit the read link and hand over $15.50.
