These Xbox cufflinks are the perfect way to inappropriately inject your nerdiness into otherwise classy situations. Because your daughter's wedding just won't be the same without everyone knowing you're a gamer. [Etsy via Technabob]

Smokin' Hot Vintage Lighter Cuff Links

Mark Wilson — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:40:00 EDT

If the Marlboro man were enlisted in the KGB circa 1960, chances are he would have been outfitted with these lighter cuff links.

Speculative legends aside, these cuff links (measuring less than an inch each way and fillable with regular lighter fluid) really were dispensed by gumball machines around 50 years ago. Today, such a story would make the evening news after some kid threatened to burn down his school with part of his dad's suit.

One Etsy seller had the unused lighters on sale at their store. Sadly, the cuff links are now sold out. [Etsy via technabob]

Whoever created these $22 polymer clay Millennium Falcon cufflinks forgot a simple fact: People who buy Star Wars merchandise rarely wear anything else but t-shirts or fake Imperial Stormtrooper plastic armors. [Etsy via Geeky Gadget]

Jack Loftus — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 17:00:00 EDT

These solid silver, rhodium-coated scissor cufflinks are cutting edge and all, and very shiny, but at $550 for the pair I think I'll just rummage around the kitchen drawer and bend a pair of my own, thank you very much. Oh, what's that? They open and close, just like real scissors? Sold! [A+R Store]

Sterling Silver Wiimote Cufflinks Complements Any Ensemble

Jason Chen — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 18:45:00 EDT

Cufflinks. No other clothing accessory is so arbitrary and outdated, yet still screams "I have class" better than cufflinks. Here's a way to work your gaming habit in. It's the sterling silver Wiimote cufflinks. The front is a Wiimote, the back is a Nunchuk. It's $30 more than you'd actually pay for two Wiimotes and two Nunchuks. If our social agenda consisted of swankier joints than Safeway, we'd be all over this. [Cufflinks]

Watch Cog Cufflinks

These cufflinks have antique watch intestines as their guts. The cogs don't wind anything, and its uncertain if they are functional at all. Regardless, Red Envelope, the premium gift store, is known for shiny gifts that have zero gadget-worth whatsoever, so we salute them for stocking such a geektastic gift.–Brian Lam

Microchip Cufflinks: Macro Cool

Mark Wilson — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 14:30:26 EDT

These microchip cufflinks are perfect for when we are choked into a suit and tie and pulled from our techcaves, kicking and screaming. They are a way of discreetly saying, "I am listening with sincerity, but my cufflinks could be processing how my cold, robot legs are going to kick your soft, fleshy ass all over this conference room. Now give me my raise so I can buy the matching tie clip." $50. – Mark Wilson
Thanks Matt!

DIY Ethernet Cuff Links

Travis Hudson — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 16:27:14 EDT

What's a geek to do on those rare occasions when cuff links are needed but the rent-a-tux place forgot to include them? Make some yourself using UTP connectors—or Ethernet connectors—crimpers and some pair-wire. This is a pretty good idea and bound to make a splash at any event, given it is technology relate. These are also great because you don't have to worry about losing the cuff links since this DIY project is cheap and easy to do. – Travis Hudson

geek chique: how to make cuff links [Geek Technique]

Downmarket Cufflinks

tgrumet — Fri, 07 Oct 2005 08:52:10 EDT

You'd think cufflinks would have to be sacred—beyond the fray of technology and our geeky kind. But no. That bastion of conservative Britishness has now been dubbed high-tech with new iKuffs, the very first light-up cufflinks using different color LEDs to make a statement. I just dare you to walk into an interview at JP Morgan with a pair of pink light-up cufflinks. The website says they're for "those who appreciate bold American styling, design, ingenuity and craftsmanship." And LSD of course.
