What Happens When You Run out of USB Ports?

I have a USB hub hidden behind my monitors. It’s a 7-port hub, but I inevitably always need yet another port. I could add another hub, sure. But that wouldn’t be as fun as attaching a Squid, now would it? This isn’t a living, breathing thing… it’s a USB Squid. You can see there’s a USB cable that can hook into any USB port or hub. From that, dangle four other USB ports that can be used for virtually any USB device.

Ok, you caught us: we lied to you all. The USB Squid is not a real squid, as squids have 8 legs and 2 tentacles. Heck, it’s not even an octopus - they have 8 arms. The USB Squid has four arms, so it’s sort of more a quadropus. But it more than makes up for its name with the special function of its arms. Just plug the USB Squid into your last USB port, and now you have four USB ports.

The biggest difference between the USB Squid and other USB Hubs is the USB Squid’s arms can bend in any direction (so all your USB cords don’t have to be coming from the same place!) Also, they have ridges on one side and the top - and indents on the bottom and other side. You can actually connect the USB ports using these ridges in many different configurations. Maybe you need 4 vertical ports or 4 horizontal or the end two free and the middle stacked or maybe a zig zag hub. The choice is yours. Let’s see a real squid do that!

You know I had to plug the USB Humping Dog into it. If you know of other USB extender-type devices, let me know about them. I have tons of cool USB gadgets I need to plug in!
