Boynq D’Light USB Light

That’s right, this sucker comes with a real lampshade and a bendy wire. AND an on/off switch. It’s simply amazing. In fact, I haven’t thought of anything this useless since… since…ahh geez. Nothing is coming to mind. This gadget, really, is simply useless.

The D’light is a wee lamp at the end of a wire. It has a small on/off switch that is easy to use, but if you have fat fingers, you’re screwed. Looks like a lot of Dutch gadgets depend on you having tiny fingers. Too bad they’re marketing so much of their product in the McDonald’s loving US.

It’s easy to plug in and easy to use. The lampshade only comes in the nice 1970’s burnt orange color. There is no sex distinction for this Boynq gadget, so orange is what we get. The light is bright enough to do what it’s supposed to: light up your keyboard. In a pitch dark room, I can still see all of the keys. Obviously, a ninja or hot gaming vampire would never pick up a Boynq D’light.

For less than twenty dollars I could maybe see someone picking this up if they have a hard time seeing in the dark. However, I could think of many better things to buy for twenty bucks, including a few more Big Mac’s. Girls… if you ever see a guy pull out a Boynq D’light after turning out the lights….run like hell.
