I’ve seen lots of funky Rubik’s Cube variants over the years, but this is definitely one of the more unusual ones I’ve come across. Instead of a simple 3x3x3 (or larger) grid of cube faces, this oddball has different size faces to really keep you on your toes.

Maybe it’s because they’re both sort of geeky, but I think that LEGOs and iPhones go well together. I suppose that is why Brando has just released these LEGO-inspired cases that will work with the iPhone 4 and 4S.

Oh, Brando. How we love your never-ending warehouse full of weird, wacky and often unnecessary Chinese gadgets. So why wouldn’t we be expecting this giant-sized USB mouse would eventually make its way to your shelves? It was inevitable.

Are there spies and sleuths reading our blog? Silly question. Of course there are. They monitor everything. From a nondescript white van no doubt. Listen, you didn’t hear it from me but Brando is selling flash drives that look like a lipstick.

Fight clutter and win the wire wars with this wooden AT-AT model from Brando. It’s roomy enough to fit a power strip and has slits on both sides to organize and secure cords. Just make sure you don’t get its feet tangled with one of your cables.

While I doubt that Brando asked to license these from Namco, they’re certainly fun lamps for your work area. These USB Light-Sensitive Ghost Lamp’s light up like a Christmas tree whenever it senses that you need more light, all the while looking vaguely like the ghosts from Pac-Man.

Oh Brando. I just knew you couldn’t stay practical and logical for long. One minute I’m writing about a perfectly sensible product with your name on it, the next you’re sending e-mails about… about this: Yep.

I often knock Brando for their crazy gadgets, but the truth is the company does sell a lot of practical and cheap devices. Take this thoughtfully designed cooling pad for example. It has a USB-powered keyboard attached to it and is fairly adjustable.

Ah, if there’s one thing we can rely on Brando for, it’s unusual stuff. One of the latest additions to the Hong Kong importer’s online emporium of wacky gadgets and geekery is this thing:

Genius makes all sorts of computer accessories and peripherals, and has for a long time. The latest peripheral from the company is the Genius 2.4GHz Wireless Ring Mouse and it is pretty cool. This mouse would be perfect for the people that are on the road all the time that want a mouse that needs no desk to operate.

I have so many questions about this MP3 player. Why not just call it a dynamite MP3 player? Why is it dynamite shaped? Why is it silver colored? What’s with the skull and crossbones? Oh wait.

Here’s a little gadget your best off leaving out of your carry-on the next time you go through the airport. It’s a flash drive that looks like a little gun.

Brando has unveiled a new SATA docking station for HDDs. The company is rather known for this sort of gadget that allows the user to dock 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA HDDs and access them via USB like you would a memory card in a memory card reader.

Ah, aromatherapy. I’ve always meant to try it on my laptop. Not really. But thanks to Brando, I can do so now with this handy USB Flower Aroma Diffuser with Light. Thanks guys! At first glance, this is just another USB light.

There are some times when making a product look retro turns out really cool. Things like the new Ford Mustang and the Chevy Camaro are great examples of how designers can use cues from old products to make something new and cool.

If you’re getting annoyed with your touchscreen devices, instead of getting a Crackberry, why not try this ultra-tiny keyboard with your existing gadgets? As is often the case with strange and unusual gadgets, this one comes to us courtesy of Brando and is perfect for “travel, school, or any other working environment with a Bluetooth enabled laptop“.
