Japan-based accessory specialist Sanwa Supply started selling the so-called USB Hub Robot [JP] yesterday. As the name suggests, it’s a USB hub (with two ports) that’s shaped like a cute robot robot.

The little guy’s LED eyes start to light up when you connect him to your computer, he can walk around your desk when you wind him up, and he can also hold a pen in his arms for you (see below). In other words, the thing is adorable (video on the top right of this page).

The USB Hub Robot is Japan only, but Geek Stuff 4 U already has it listed for everyone living outside this country (price: $57.12).
