Elecom ASP-S750 Speakers Have a Look That Jumps Out At You

Good-looking mini speakers are few and far between, IMHO, but Elecom's ASP-S750 diagonal speakers have a certain je ne sais quoi. Designed to go "forward toward the sound of fire," according to the Engrish blurb, the 2.5W-per-channel speakers come in white or silver, and full specs are below the gallery.

Elecom Memory Card Reader Keeps Your Gigs in Order

Elecom's USB 2.0 memory card reader supports all of the following; SDHC, SD, MMC, xD and Sony's Memory Stick MagicGate/Pro/Duo cards. That is nothing out of the ordinary; a cross format reader is near enough the norm these days. Elecom goes one better with a storage space built into the card reader.

Elecom Prumie Mouse: Wireless, 31 Function Macro

Oh my God, it's a wireless mouse from Elecom with a dumb name: Prumie! Should I take road traveled by everyone blogger and say how "cool" it looks or how "awesome" it is to use a mouse with no wires? 'Cause that's so amazing in the grand scheme of things. Or what about its famed "+1 button" that lets you—get this—map a whopping 31 functions to it? Incredible, yes, I know. Funny, since the only function I need a mouse to do is "click." Even more incredible is that it's only available in Japan, that mythological place where so many useful "gadgets" come from. But hey, if you wanna drop $43 on a hunk of plastic be my guest. – Nicholas Deleon More »

Elecom USB Hub Offers Unparalleled Hubbage


These cross-shaped USB Hubs offer two, three, or four un-powered ports for you to plug all your USB gadgets into. It's nice that they're angled in such a way that no matter how big your USB device is, chances are it probably won't block another port. More »

Elecom Rose EarDrops Phones: Rosebuds for Your Ears

Just in time for Valentine's Day (or maybe a bit too late) are EarDrops, rose-shaped earbuds from Elecom that give you a unique flowering rose backing in a variety of colors. They supposedly sound as good as they look, too, with the company touting their frequency response at 20Hz to 20kHz. The EHP-AIN40 series is shaped like a rosebud, and the EHP-AIN50 series (pictured above) is more open, looking more like a rose bloom. Both are on sale now in Japan for about $25. More »

Lefties Get Elecom Mouse, Are Still Inadequate

Hey lefties, I'm sorry you were born with that uh, disability, but it's okay because Elecom has designed a mouse just for you! Aren't you special? Actually, this mouse is better for a lefty sharing a computer with a normal human being, err, righty. This beautiful canary yellow mouse includes a switch that will swap the mouse buttons for left or right handed individuals on the fly. The symmetrical design also ensures that the mouse will fit nicely in either hand. – Travis Hudson More »

Elecom SCR-CD0001: Destroys CDs, DVDs in Five Seconds

Japan's Elecom knows that you've got some sensitive data stored on your computer. Thankfully, if you've stored that data on CDs and DVDs, the SCR-CD0001 is pretty much a Godsend. All it takes is about five seconds and the device will scratch up the disc so throughly that it'll be rendered useless. It should hit Japanese stores by the end of the month for around $26. More »

Elecom Emergency iPod Charger Looks Ugly, Get the Job Done

This emergency charger from Elecom has the ability to give your dock-capable iPod some juice with the addition of only two AA batteries. The device itself isn't quite seamless, but it can power your iPod back up in emergency situations. You know, those emergencies where you have to listen to an iPod or possibily die. – Travis Hudson More »

Elecom USB Flash Drive Puppet Bags

Carrying a flash drive on a keychain is so 2002. Increase that style by cramming that boring 'ole flash drive down the throat of a crazy stuffed Japanese toy thing.

Elecom 3-Way USB Hub

Elecom makes some pretty sweet stuff, and this is no different. This three-way USB hub helps keep the cable clutter to a minimum by plugging directly into a USB port and being bus-powered. The angular USB ports help keep cables all nice and organized. Not too shabby of a hub, as long as you use a front USB port, or one that won't obstruct other ports. – Travis Hudson More »

Elecom's Wooden iPod Dock Dazzles, Gives You Splinters

It's been a good 15 minutes since the last iPod dock came out, so we're long overdue for a new one. This time, however, at least Elecom made it look a little different from all the others out there by crafting it out of wood. The dock goes by the name (well, model number) of ASP-WP8 and it features all the nonsense that these docks have had for ages now, like a pair of ho-hum speakers and a stereo input jack to hook up other, external audio sources. You'll be able to grab it in Japan by the end of the month for around $135. More »

Elecom's Gear-Driven Keyboard Prevent Typos

Elecom's TK-U09FG keyboards have gears mounted under each key, depressing evenly even if just hit on a corner. Apparently, the cause of typos is hitting a key on a corner and having the keystroke not regstr. By detecting and activating the keys on the corners, this keyboard supposedly cuts down on typos. We don't know if this is true, but the keyboard is only 5040 yen ($42), so it may be worth a try. – Jason Chen More »

Elecom M-ABUR Series USB Mouse: Antibacterial Coating, But Don't Kid Yourself

Elecom Corp. is getting creative with its mouse design, and its M-ABUR series takes its prospective buyers into the area of fear, uncertainty and doubt. If you're really scared of bacteria and viruses, Elecom tries to come to the rescue by adding an antibacterial resin to its surface that the company says prevents bacteria from replicating. No question that this is a clean design; it looks just like a bar of soap just to remind you that this is about the cleanest mouse you could ever get your hands on. More »
