There are so many different USB hubs out there that differentiating between them is quite a difficult job nowadays. Of course, one might say that few share the same design, and that's true, but changing just the external shape doesn't always help customers in taking a purchase decision.

For this reason, the people over at Uxsight have decided to tackle the issue of design and functionality in a slightly different manner. So, they've come up with a device that not only looks unusual, but also delivers a couple of features that go beyond the normal “extend a USB port's functionality” thing.

So, their 4-Port USB Hub with Foldable Light allows users to connect up to 4 USB peripheral devices simultaneously, at the same time featuring a green book light, thus allowing users to actually see where they insert the drives even in the dark. Furthermore, as expected, each of its ports is USB 2.0 compatible, allowing data transfers to go as high as 480 Mbps (well, at least theoretically).

Another thing worth mentioning about this device is the fact that it has individual over-current protection for each of its ports. And since we're on this issue, we'll also point out the fact that it supports a USB 5V, 500mAh voltage, and is powered directly by the USB port, with no external power being required.

The gadget presented by Uxsight is very easy to carry around, since it measures somewhere in the vicinity of 8.2 x 6.1x 1cm, at an overall weight of around 72 grams. The USB hub is available in a 2-color configuration (green + white), while the USB cable attached to it grants it a fairly extensive level of usability.

Pricing for this USB hub is also quite good, since the device retails for about 7 US dollars, which is a very good and suitable tag, all things considered.
