Disney earlier this year has found a new way to milk Mickey fans with flash drives shaped like the ironic cartoon character’s head (even though only the ear is the actual drive). It would seem Disney is quite satisfied with the sales results of the novelty item. The company is now ordering a new batch of flash drives resembling Mickey’s white glove. The drive itself is tucked inside the rubberized glove, which doubles as a cap, and it is accessorized with a hanging some cute little ornaments of all sorts. If the Mickey Glove Drive is as fast as the head-version, we would be the first in line to get one.

Thanko during the summer has released a Cooler USB Keyboard for those with sweaty palms. As winter is faster approaching, they are now upgrading the keyboard with a heating function. The keyboard’s aluminium chassis helps to distribute the heat evenly across the palm rest. If that isn’t enough, there’re three fans available that can be activated by a switch on the back of the keyboard to blow the hot air on your wrists. The Thanko “USB Hot Cooler keyboard” has now evolved into an all-season peripheral that keeps your hands cozy during the winter and cool during the height of the summer. Thanko wants 4980 yen ($51) for the keyboard, which occupies two full-powered USB ports.
