This is Zyrus Bandi, a brand new flip-up USB flash drive designed to be worn as a pendant. It’s all metallic and sports a glowing LED ring, a cord for easy wearing, password protection, 18MB/sec reading speed and 4.5MB/sec writing speed.
It looks like it’s only available on the Korean market at the moment though.

Anyone who’s ever lived with someone in a compact apartment knows how easy it is to annoy your partner with mouse clicks while he/she desperately tries to sleep. The Buffalo Silent Mouse is designed to eliminate those click sounds, helping to make your computer session a whole lot less noisy (granted that you don’t have a keyboard with tactile keys).
Besides the ultra-silent click feature it’s a pretty basic and straight-forward optical mouse with 800dpi and USB 2.0 connectivity, available in black and silver.

LaCie sure does release different and stylish storage devices from time to time (you’ve seen the 500GB Golden Disk, right?). Here’s Hard Disk, a mirror-polished black external hard drive with blue LED ambient lights benath.
It’s powered by USB 2.0 and available in sizes from 320GB to 1TB. Design by Neil Poulton.

Mimoco’s Star Wars Mimobot USB Flash drives got plenty of attention a year ago or so and now they’ve extended the series with Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Boba Fett. The Chewie and Stormtrooper models still rule in my Mimobot world though.
The Mimobots comes in three different models; 1GB for $49.95, 2GB for $69.95 and 4GB for $109.95. The new models will start shipping in January/February.

Thanko Tape Dispenser USB Hub. Your general tape dispenser but with four USB ports to power even more of your nifty USB-powered stuff.
The Attaché Optima USB Flash drive is apparently the fastest in the world (20MB/sec), but I’d buy it just because of the looks. It’s available in 4 and 8GB models, both Windows Vista ReadyBoost-enabled and featuring AES encryption to keep your files secure.
Here’s the Folding Keyboard by Matias. A full-size keyboard small enough to fit in your laptop bag when folded and large enough to be comfortable when open. Matias promises a responsive and tactile feel due to high-quality dome switches and it sports goodies like a number pad, a smart Fn key as well as media keys (like volume control), page navigation, cursor keys and so on.
The Folding Keyboard is available on pre-order now and expects to start shipping mid-December.

So there’s rugged USB Flash drives with huge storage capabilities and then there’s products like Mokkatanten’s Porcelain Memory. This cute little Moomin-lookin’ thing is handmade and features a modest 1GB of storage and an internal LED that glows through the porcelain when active.
One gigabyte might not be much these days but to compensate for that every stick ships with a hand-knit pouch to keep it warm and cozy.

Here’s the Rechargeable USB Lighter, designed by Nathan Gabriele. It might look like a regular Zippo at the first glance, but flip this “premium giveaway” open and you’ll find that it is flameless and works by resistance coils – like a car lighter. Whenever the juice runs out you just plug it in a free USB port to recharge it.
Oh, and to top it off there’s USB flash storage in it as well.

Make a Mixa is a pretty cool idea for anyone old enough to remember the good ol’ mix tape days. Select a blank cassette tape in white or black, upload the pictures you want to decorate it with (either from your harddrive or from web services like Flickr) and voilá – you’ve got yourself a custom and USB-enabled 1GB cassette tape ready to be filled with whatever you want (mp3′s, images, emo poetry…).
