Impulse buy, I thought of carrying it in my tool bag, instead of full size mouse and keyboard.

A mini keyboard/touchpad combo is a nice buy, got one and it's a lot better than having to carry a full sized keyboard.

An energy meter, to know how much power a computer/appliance is consuming.

Small, waterproof, metal USB drive, the kind you can put on your keychain, kind of like this.

Cables, lots and lots of cables. Spare HDMI. DVi to HDMI, MicroUSB, etc etc etc...

Power Supply Tester, to see if a power supply if 100% working.

Rechargeable batteries.

Motherboard tester, find out why your PC isn't POSTING if the motherboard doesn't have the LED codes on it.

USB crossover cable. Link two PC together, share one PC's resources (internet, optical drive, etc..) to the other easily. (like this thing) It's useful when a PC doesn't have internet access for some reason.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700x / GPU: Asus Radeon RX 6750XT OC 12GB / RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB DDR4-3200
MOBO: MSI B450m Gaming Plus / NVME: Corsair MP510 240GB / Case: TT Core v21 / PSU: Seasonic 750W / OS: Win 10 Pro

No, it's not a USB drive. The single feature of this useless gadget is that the electricity from a USB port will animate the dog as it "humps" your computer. No, we don't need it

Like this? I was kinda like confused when you said that and from a Google Search I get this. I mean like wtf? I can't believe these things are actually sold. I actually kinda wonder how many of these sell per quarter or per year. It's bad enough people use their phones as like a baby sitter for their children, let alone getting them started off early by giving them a damn iPad.
