USB Sticky Tape Dispenser

Usually, when I see a sticky tape dispenser, or any office stationary product for that matter I don't even think twice about it. It's just a usual boring old piece of office equipment.

This sticky tape dispenser does what it says on the tin. It dispenses sticky tape. How exciting! But when you combine it with a USB hub, it becomes something that you will sit looking at in awe! Joking aside, I really think it would be a pain in the back-side to have the two combined!

The upside to this dispenser is the fact that it has to be wired up the PC to be used as a hub. As well as having to be connected to the PC it has to be connected to all of your devices as well. So, in other words it is tethered to your desk! Nobody will ever borrow the sellotape (other brands are available!) again! Hooray!

Now you will be able to find the tape on the rare occasions that you drag your self away from the computer monitor and actually do some real life paper work. So now, you are thinking "Great, I have a tape dispenser nobody in the office will steal, and I can always find it". Well, being able to always find it may not be entirely true. Once you have got all the wires tangled up and connected to the dispenser you will have a nice spaghetti junction on your desk. Good luck finding the dispenser! Anyway, what geek doesn't love messing around with wires? I want one!

Specs:

  • USB 2.0

  • 4 USB Ports

  • Transfer speed: 480mpbs

  • Completely self powered, no need for a separate power supply!

Sticky tape and cables don't mix that well

"Why is it cool?"

I think it might light up, if so they've sold it to me already!
