As someone who enjoys a bit of practicality into everything...? I was tempted to buy one of those little tidbits for a "futureproof" feel onto everything I plugged the little bastards in.

Until I met the... kvm switch. It may not allow me to plug a billion different things into it... but damn. It really works.

I have 3 KVM switches, neither works with my CTRL keyboard neither with my gaming mouse. Sigh.

I'm thinking of building my own "dumb usb switch" as I have to plug, unplug all the time...
