What's a cool gadget to get/reccomend me something cool
19 replies, posted
Facepunch i'm talking within the range of $30-$50 or less, can anyone reccomend me something neat? It can be any gadget, for the computer, to carry around, etc, as long as it's cool.
I was thinking about a gaming mouse, but I already have a nice one so I don't see the point any more.
Any suggestions? (I'm thinking something technological, that's why I posted here.)
802.11n USB adapter? Trying to be practical.
Keyboard illumination LED lamp for USB with flexible neck. Quite convenient if you're using your laptop somewhere dark.

One cool thing to have is a pocket watch on a chain, preferably purely mechanical (spring instead of battery) or at least good looking. While others pull out their cellphone to check the time, you pull out your pocket watch like a boss. Monocle and hat recommended accessories.

Have a look at Dealextreme. I highly suggest using express shipping, the free shipping is pretty slow.

Personally I'd rather deal with thrice the wait than twice the cost (my orders from there are usually about as cheap as shipping since I don't want to risk ordering expensive stuff from freakin' Hong Kong).

Dealextreme is useless, just use Aliexpress.
Same items, same free shipping, sometimes same waiting time, 200.000x more stuff to choose from.
I've spent over $800 there so far, with the average package price around $20, and it's all been lovely.

Good site, except most of the good items can only be ordered in batches of 10 or more...

Though sometimes it's cheaper to order more than 1, than just 1.
An item to $1 a piece, requires you to order 10, is cheaper than $15 a piece, requiring you to buy only 1.
I've done a few of those, where a couple of days later I've gone "Fuck I could've gotten more for less!"
