  oh I want one of these, do you think it's a good deal? Sounds a bit expensive for a fancy mouse pad

  Well factor out the mousepad, would you pay for a 3port usb hub and card reader for $15? Then factor in the cool led styling and mousepad and ability to plug stuff into the mousepad! you got a bargain :D

  I got one of these about 3 years ago from Aldi, slightly different design, same price.

  It has some super bright LEDs that pretty much blind you, but if you're into showing off it's not bad. The actual mouse pad was very nice, but I stopped using it because it took too much space on the desktop and was a bit cumbersome. Also found I never used the USB ports anyway and it takes up even more room if you plug in a USB flash drive or something.

    yeah i got this too a few years ago.. i don't even use it as a mouse pad because it's so small! and the cord on my mouse at the time would hit the top part of the pad where the hub is.. you can see in the pic that there isn't much space to do vertical movement specially if you have a corded mouse and a low sensitivity user.. also the usb ports are 1.1 not 2.0 but this new version is 2.0 it seems.. i still don't recommended though

  Would you know if the SD/MMC card reader take SDHC. I don't think so.

  Does anyone know if the USB hub requires any external power source?

  If not, would it be enough to power my USB 2.5" HDD?

    My one did not have an external power source and it definitely wouldn't power a USB 2.5" drive.

    This is the one I have with the frustratingly bright LEDs.

  Does not look good to me, I am using wireless mouse to get rid ofcables.
