10 Weirdest USB Devices

Through my years here at PCMag.com, I've certainly come across odd USB-powered devices, from USB humping dogs to scented USB drives to USB pole dancers. One would assume that devices we connect to our computer's USB port would perform useful functions—like backing up important files or accessing Wi-Fi—but many USB-powered devices on the market today serve just one purpose: sheer entertainment.

My third installment of the weirdest USB devices contains products you'd never dream of wasting your money on, such as a USB humping bunny or a USB desk lamp. So if you need some cheering up after a difficult year, or you're looking for some gag gifts to give, these ten gadgets will undoubtedly amuse you.

And check out my previous Weirdest USB Devices roundups, Part I and Part II.

Here are some of the products featured in today's The 10 Weirdest USB Devices slideshow:

HumpingBunnies	Aircraft Mouse	Retro Lamp	Plasma Ball	Robot Owl

USB Humping Bunnies
When Bazoo Toys first sent me the USB Humping Bunnies, I couldn't help but laugh at the sight of these cute USB gadgets doing their business to my laptop. Like the ever-popular USB Humping Dogs, these bunnies are surely strange, since all they do is, well, hump. Each Humping Bunny is both Mac and PC compatible and sells for $15 on UrbanOutfitters.com.

USB Mirror Card Reader
I can understand why people would find the LG Shine phone useful: it has a mirror finish over the screen, handy for reapplying makeup or checking for food caught in your teeth. But a USB card reader with a built-in mirror is just plain weird: who carries their memory card reader wherever they go? The USB Mirror Card Reader ($15) from Gadget4all.com supports all of the popular memory card types and dons a mirror.
