Dumbest peripheral device ever

[NeghVar]

In your opinion, what is the worst, dumbest, most worthless PC peripheral device you, personally, have used?

For me, the :CueCat.

USB powered fisting machine. Not nearly enough power from those ports.

It is a bar code scanner. They can be pretty useful. I used one to scan the barcodes on my 700+ DVD collection to enter them into a database program.

Ohhh. That seems kinda useful too then.

If you could find items that used its special barcodes. It did not scan standard barcodes

Plus it used a PS/2 port. Back then, most KB and MS used PS/2. So you have to disconnect one

They were easily hacked to scan any barcode, and ps2>usb converter worked fine.

Nope. It had keyboard pass-through.
