Cool device, but IMO USB hubs have no logical reason for attracting that much visual attention, unless that’s something you are going for specifically.

I tend to side with Boeing’s “Quiet Dark Cockpit” philosophy when it comes to my computing environment, so this is not a product for me.

I’m the same way, a blinking LED is always distracting. The exception would be the slow heartbeat type blinking that my Palm does when recording with the screen off. I do have one steady LED that annoys me to no end, and that one is on my Logitech speakers in the bedroom. I have them on a shelf next to the bed, and the one speaker has a clear blue LED that is so bright it hurts to look at it. A piece of tape solved that problem!

Wow….it’s both a pro and a con…..

Though I don’t know about the pro part….I find the blue glow from my USB media card reader annoying enough…..
