There should be a maxim when it comes to USB hub designs – “just because you can doesn’t mean you should”. Let me show you what I mean. Here are eight USB hubs that should arguably never have been invented – and one bonus one within the list that I’d actually buy… see if you can pick it.

1. The stone



2. The potato



3. The Tulips



4. The Conch



5. The Hearts



6. The Strawberry Chocolate Cake



7. The Grapes



8. Lego



9. The Nautilus Shell
