You can never have enough USB hubs for the tons of USB gadgets that you own, because there are so many available in the market that you just have to buy more and more. This means that for every USB gadget you’ll have to purchase a new USB hub. Lucky you, choosing the best USB hub to fit your needs won’t be a problem, as the offer is so varied these days.



The USB 3-in-1 Rota-Rota Combo Hub is another alternative when it comes to such gadgets, and it comes with something different, an integrated thermometer. The hub consists of three USB ports, a card reader that can be used for a wide variety of memory cards, and, of course, a thermometer. Maybe it isn’t the most accurate thermometer to ever be built, but it’s able to do its job in a very efficient way.



The three USB 2.0 ports are fully rotatable, which means they can be rotated to 90 degrees separately, so users will be able to adjust the angles of the ports just the way they like it. Not to mention the fact that this makes it easier for you to plug in the USB drives.



What makes the difference is the thermometer. Actually, the two thermometers. To be honest, I don’t really know why someone would be interested in a device that tells you the temperature of the room you’re in, but it seems that there mustn’t be an explanation for everything. Anyway, the thermometer displays the temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit degrees, this being the reason why there are two thermometers instead of only one.



As for the features, the USB Rota-Rota Combo Hub comes with USB 2.0, three 90 degrees rotatable USB ports, compatibility with the USB 2.0 specification, backwards compatible with the USB 1.1, the plug and play feature and support for Windows 2000 / XP / Vista. The device measures 102 x 31 x 32 millimeters and weighs approximately 50 grams, being available at Brando for no more than $15.
