If you’re carrying one of the latest smartphones, chances are that it will be OTG compatible, which means the microUSB port will not only serve as the charging port, but also allow you to connect up external peripherals such as keyboards, mice and external drives.

To make use of this facility you typically have to spend a fair amount of money buying a fancy branded adapter. But now you’ve got another choice. The Robot MicroUSB OTG Adapter is a tiny fun gizmo which plugs into the microUSB port of your phone to provide a female USB port for any peripheral which is compatible.

The thing comes in a variety of garish colors (to match your phugly phone, no doubt) and should make your portable smartphone computing life incredibly more efficient. Priced at just $8.
