I loved my little octopus USB hub. I named him Oliver. It made me happy to see his googly eyes emerging out of the clutter of cables on my desk, and he was a delight to travel with.
Unfortunately, Oliver's cuteness was no guarantee of his reliability. After just 7 months, we're no longer together: he's broken, and I'm brokenhearted.
As my mother would say, "handsome is as handsome does." For Ollie's replacement I'll be looking for a hub who might be less attractive, but has better long-term prospects.

This product is just great. I love my (Purple) USB Hub Octopus. This Octopus may only have 4 legs instead of the standard 'real' aquatic Octopus (smile), but its ports (instead of tenticles) get the job done.
I love the fact that the legs are flexible. Some of the standard multiple hubs are so close together, that because of certain designed Flash Drives they cannot fit vertically or horizontally side by side without butting into one another. For that reason, the Octopus is the perfect choice for me. I can just grab an Octopus arm (gently of course), and plug in whatever USB I need to do the job.
Thanks for such an ingenius product that is fun for kids and adults alike. Oh, and because I am a female, I named mine, "Patty" (the Purple Octopus), aka "Pattypus" (for short). She's looking at me right now as a matter of fact, and is very happy to be here too. All 'kidding' aside. Thanks!

This USB hub is not only functional but very cute. I've been annoyed with switching out my printer cable/external hard drive/etc and this octopus has done nothing but relieve that annoyance. I run Linux and have had no issues with the hub thus far. No software to install, just plug one leg into your computer and plug your other products into the octopus and you're set. Couldn't ask for a better product. You'll love it!

My little octopus USB hub is so cute. He serves his purpose of making extending those pesky 2 USB ports on my laptop to 4-ports, plus he has little roley eyes. Read more

Not working as expected
Two ports work consistantly, one port works sometimes and one port never works. A twolegged octopus doesn't run as expected. I needed 4 Ports

Horrible!
This stopped working after two weeks! So disappointed! It is very cute, but when you plug items in they don't work. None of the tentacles work.

It's ok
It's made a little more cheaply than I expected, but that wasn't a big deal. The problem with it was that when plugged into my computer, if I had more than one thing plugged into... Read more
