Most of the gadgets we use these days, or those which are being produced, make use of USB power for charging, and not just for connecting to the computer. With the proliferation of such devices, it only makes sense that USB sockets become more readily available, and less dependent on other devices like computers or even USB hubs. With that, we come to the premise of USB Wall Socket concept.
The USB turtle mouse doesn’t have much to bring to the table, except a small dose of cuteness, maybe. The 800dpi optical mouse costs $14, and is also available in pink.

Japanese manufacturer Elecom has come up with a “new” version of the USB hub. Elecom’s hub gets a power strip treatment, which means the ports on the hub have switches so they can be turned on/off individually. To make it more useful, the hub can also be attached to a magnetic surface. The four port hub costs $41, while the seven port version sells for $106.

We’ll have to agree with ChipChick, this USB flash drives reminds us more of Rosie from the Jetsons, rather than making us think about Steampunk. It is called the Narrow Bridge Steampunk USB drive, as its creator was inspired by a “narrow bridge” sign to make this drive. The drive is made of hardwood with the obligatory tiny gauge and control wheels, and has a “vintage” tin box for company. This thing is expensive at $300. Also, someone should totally get working on a Steampunk Rosie.

Considering the virtually unlimited design options that flash drives have, these limited edition pill-shaped flash drives seem rather drab. We like the bullet flash drives so much better now. If you have a taste for these drives, they sell for $15 and include “The brand new, 10 song Rollin Rockers album Bang!Bang! “What A Long, Strange Trip It’s Been” Mix. Music videos, photos, and exclusive Rollin Rockers content. Plus free space to add your own content to the drive!”

Speakers shaped like Stilettos come across as a weird choice of shape, which they are, but to be called really weird they’d have to compete with the likes of toilet bowl speaker, grim reaper speakers and the splitting skull speakers. And they don’t seem that weird anymore. Gimme Tune speakers come with a 3.5mm audio jack and connect to the PC by means of a USB cable. Cost $37.
