This device would be terrifying if it weren’t such a remarkably cool idea. Thank heavens they didn’t decide to make a USB kraken – because we’dall be in trouble (and, besides, I can never remember how many arms and legs a kraken actually has).If you’relike me than you often find yourself trying to figure out which peripheral device to unplug and which one to plug in. Most laptops these days only provide two or three USB ports, which means you’ll probably need some sort of hub to attach all your goodies to your computer.
Thus: the more ports you can squeeze onto one hub the better. As the name implies this little gadget has eight “arms” that allow you to connect seven different USB devices to one hub. I know what you’re thinking: eight arms but seven devices? Yep. One of the arms connects to your computer. I guess you could probably also call this device a USB spider – but that’s a little bit creepier than the USB Octopus. Same idea and same number of “legs.”
