Awesome Gadget Of The Week: USB Heated Gaming Gloves
Author: Rees | Date: August 30, 2008
This week I decided to go and take a look at Brando, because all of my previous awesome gadgets have been from DealExtreme, and it’s a bit unfair to give them all of the crapgadget glory.
Trouble is, Brando actually sell a lot of really useful stuff, and the idea of “Awesome Gadget Of The Week” is generally that the gadgets aren’t very awesome at all. But after a good old dig I managed to come up with these absolute beauties - a gadget that’s rather silly and could actually be quite useful - some USB Heating Gloves.
From the site:
Ever experience that your hand freezing and slowing down your reaction when you are playing game? Maybe when you’re playing in an air-conditioned room or in the winter time.
Then the USB Heating gloves may suits your need. It has a warming pad inside. Once you plug it in the USB port, it will be warming your hands.
Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m far too poor to afford to heat my house. I spend all of my money on Xbox 360 games and that bank-breakingly-expensive Xbox Live subscription, so a set of these marvellous gloves will really do the trick for me. And for the PS3 owners out there, these might keep your hands nice and toasty while you’re watching all those MGS4 cutscenes too.
The gloves have 2 temperature settings, flappy finger covers for when you’re not gaming, are made of real wool, and can raise the temperature of your hands by 10 degrees in 5 minutes. Unfortunately they need a USB port each, so a hub may be required if your ports are already full of rubbish awesome USB gadgets.
Just $22 from Brando, and all your frozen-handed gaming nightmares can be a thing of the past.
Another pointless invention.
Another pointless comment. Thanks bob.
