Over the Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales period, the staff of Tom's Hardware have browsed through some weird and wonderful tech oddities that we think are both fun, useful, or even good value for money. Most of these tech gadgets are on sale, but a couple have finished their sale periods, and we've still included them because of how interesting they are.

With prices ranging from as low as $6.99 to a maximum of $99.99, there may be an interesting little gadget on offer here for either yourself or someone you know. Some of these geeky devices could also make for a Holiday Season stocking filler. Here are 19 of our favorites spotted so far.

OwlTree's remote power switch is just a power switch, but it's a big, inviting button with a spiffy blue LED ring to indicate system status. It also has a nice, long 5.7-foot (174cm) cable for flexibility and comes with a header splitter so you don't have to add any extra cables to your build. Best of all, it's just $6.99.

If you'd rather not run a new wire to your PC at all, you can grab Aukuoy's wireless power switch. The receiver for this button slides into a PCIe x1 slot, so make sure you have a spare. You may also want to pick up some splitter cables if you're converting your system to wireless remote start, as this remote button doesn't include them.

A wireless button for turning your PC on/off. Big red button vibes give off danger signals. A wireless range of 80 feet over the 2.4GHz frequency.

A floating and spinning 5 Watt Bluetooth speaker that's shaped like the Death Star from Star Wars . Using magnetic levitation, the speaker is suspended in the air. Looks cool on any desk.

An RGB illuminated 2-button keyboard for copy-paste functions, or even to use in some rhythm games

This useful tool lets you pick up metal objects in hard-to-reach places with a large magnet and LED lighting to see what you're grabbing. Another strong magnet in the base lets you mount the tool to a magnetic surface to use as a lamp. With an extendable neck, you can reach all of those dropped screws from your next PC build.

An XXL 48 x 24 inch build mat with printed references for common PC components, motherboard connections, ports, sockets and more!

Oh, and it will protect your desk the next time you drop a panel off you PC case.

Score a cheap external DVD drive/burner, perfect for enthusiasts and those still rocking physical media. A well-known brand name.

BPAKDU's portable USB-connected optical and media reader peripheral also has USB HUB functionality. This has you covered for all sorts of old CDs, DVDs, and flash cards you might have in the back of your tech cabinets.

This optical CD/DVD writer from SUIDEK incorporates an M.2 SSD dock, but keeps the SD card reader, USB-A, and USB-C hub.

The TobenOne 10-in-1 docking station and volume knob gives you all the essential connections you need, plus a volume knob and five shortcut buttons.

This quirky device combines an under-desk headphone hook and a 20W PD USB charger with one USB-C and two USB-A ports. It can bring a bit of extra convenience and tidiness to your setup, especially if desk space is tight.

Darkbreeze Sorry, but not only was this not what I was hoping for from this article, most of what was in it was already a part of other articles. I was really hoping for actual outliers. Didn't get them. Reply
