Another gadget in the “cool, useful and cheap” category. I’m sure most of you have experienced this problem: you’re typing away at your laptop into the night, but you’re not quite the best at touchtyping, so you have to glance at the keyboard once in a while. But… the keyboard is black and you can’t see anything. I for one have a lamp on my desk, but it’s way too bright and it’s more annoying than useful.

What to do? The Super Bright LED Torch comes to the rescue. It has a clip so you can easily attach it to your laptop and, best of all, you can charge it by USB. No more running out of batteries or looking for your battery charger and then for an empty outlet.

But that’s not all you can do with it. Some of you still remember those things with words in them… books? Yeah. Some of us like to read, but some of us don’t always have a handy light source. The lamp is bothering the boyfriend, the power went out, you’re stranded at a cabin without electricty in the mountains… I haven’t experienced that latter, but the first two have happened to me and damn! I hate not being able to read before bed.

Well, this torch has another clip especially for books. And if the light it gives is anything like this photo, I think I know what I’m asking for on my birthday.

How much under $29.99?
A lot: $13 at USBGeek.
