It’s questionable whether this gadget is actually useful, but it is kind of neat to have a USB hub that can point in every which direction. On the one hand, it may help to better organize all of those cables, but on the other hand, all that twisting may just result in even more tangling.
If you’re looking for extreme features and impressive specifications, the USB 180° Revolving 4 Ports Hub from Brando is not for you. If you want a funky way to get more USB ports for your flash drives, webcams, and other peripherals, then this might work. All those Rubik’s Cube-like colors is pretty attractive too, especially if you’re the type that enjoys the bold Lego or IKEA-inspired look.
Ports 1 and 2 can be rotated up to 180 degrees and this doo-hickey supports the high-speed USB 2.0 standard for speeds up to 480Mbps. Get it here for 16 bucks.

Might be useful if you put it at the end of your desk, with the non-moving ports facing to the back. Then you could plug in things to the back, and use the movable ports for flash drives… It’s look sorta cool at least…
If it had more of a “clean” look and was black (high-gloss?) I think it would look much cooler.
