Geeky Gadgets – The Star Wars USB Hub’s
These have to been the coolest USB Hub’s I have seen, The R2-D2 and Darth Vader USB Hubs.
These cool USB hubs are officially licensed and made by Japanese manufacturer Cube Works.
Both have cool features and the Darth Vader one’s eyes light up and plays Star Wars sounds.
On the R2-D2 one his head moves about every few minutes and it also plays sound effects, each hub has 4 USB 2.0 Ports.
I absolutely love these, and I think I may have to get the R2-D2 one for my desk.
Unfortunately they are only available in Japan at the moment, but they should be available in the US and Europe soon, as a lot of other products from this manufacturer are currently available here.
I will post an update when I find out where they are available from.
