If you’re a big Star Wars fan who is looking to pimp up your computer or laptop this Christmas, we’ve found a few cool USB devices which may take your fancy.
First up is the Darth Vader Tie Fighter USB Webcam. The webcam shaped as the Tie Fighter the sith lord uses in Episode IV comes with gun lights which illuminate when the camera is on, as well as a camera in the windscreen which records at a 640 X 480 pixel resolution, a built in microphone for video chat, and uses a clip for sticking it on top of your monitor. The webcam can be bought from Amazon for £23.80 but is also available from a variety of online retailers.
Next, if you are after something that will offer a bit of light for late night computer uses why not use a lightsaber? The lightsaber glow lamp which is 32cm long and powered by USB, stands up but can be removed and used as a mini-lightsaber. The USB lamp which is available from various online retailers at around £15-£20.
If you need something to look after all your Star Wars Gadgets then the next USB device which could help you out is none other than Yoda himself. The Yoda Desk protector uses a motion sensor which when set off lights up Yoda’s lightsaber and he says one of six phrases from with my favourite being "a disturbance in the force there is” considering the appropriateness of the motion sensor. The desktop protector ranges in the £15-£20 on various online retailers.
Finally, with all those USB devices you may find yourself running out of ports so why not call on R2D2 to help out. The R2D2 USB hub offers 4 ports for your USB devices (2 in the front, 2 in the back), making his beep-boop noises whenever you insert a device. Fortunately there is the option to turn the sound off if you find it too draining, but the device is a cool way to keep all your USB devices going. The R2D2 USB Hub can be found on Amazon for £19.99
May the Force be with you.
