This is so much more than a USB hub. It's my new pet astromech droid – once I buy it, that is!
This animated 4-port USB hub makes R2D2 beeping sounds every 3 minutes and when you plug in a new device. Oh, just watch the video, you'll probably fall in love with it too. It's €43 and available for pre-order on Geekstuf4u.com.

Josh Burdich's Star Wars figures in pixel art perfection
