Well, I am looking to purchase myself a new USB key for file transport from home to work, etc. One of the features I desire is the almighty "cool factor". One that is enjoyable to show to people, a conversation topic if you please... I realize that this usually isn't the most affordable way to buy USB keys, but sometimes a good icebreaker is worth a few extra bucks.

I previously owned a Swiss Army USB Key/Knife, which I really liked, but alas it is lost. The one below is a cool one I've found, but I was wondering if there were any other really cool ones out there that you would recommend. Post some photos of your favorite "cool USB KEY!"

:eek:

Holy F**k.

Computer crap and LEGO™ all in one!!

Got a link to a store?
 
The iDisk is definitly cool. Although, if I lost my last one, can you imagine how long this one would be around?

Why let the dog hump your leg when it can hump your computer?

Hahaha, I love it! I did not personally take part in such activities of course, but if I had, I think I would rather bring a bigger knife. It was only about an inch and a half long.
 
I really like this one but the capacity is really low, it is designed to be a USB mix tape rather than a data device.

Well it's only for pro killers. Psh. No amateur can kill with that knife.

Disclaimer: I have not and will never partake in any such actions. Purely a tee hee ha ha moment.
 
I thought both of these were amusing, not that I would ever use any of them though.

ohmygosh, dllavaneras, that headless bear may well be the funniest thing I have ever seen!!! :D Can you please post the link for it?

And that goes for the rest of you, too - post links to those amazing things you've found!

And am I the only person who's ever thought that if they're going to call it a thumb drive, then it should look like ... well, you know... a thumb? :cool:

They exist too (as do finger-shaped nose hair clippers, but that's driving the motor off the road).

Make magazine seems to feature the make-your-own with regularity, which is the first place I saw the lego ones.

I have one like this (2GB) and another similar one (1GB).

Always afraid that I will loose them.

I have the drive and the real thing:
