Gadgets for 2019

In the XReflow office, we love to show off a gadget to our fellow colleagues, sometimes this causes jealousy, and sometimes it causes confusion. However there is no getting away from it we like to try and outdo each other with the latest weird and wonderful gadgets.

Here are a couple below that have caught our eye recently.

Querkywriter pointless but fun gadget

If you are bored with the look of your desk this will be right up your street, the Querkywriter, its a keyboard impersonating an old fashioned typewriter! It’s small and a little impractical if you like to have a large keyboard with a number pad, but it looks great. The price is in the region of £195.

If you are old enough to remember ‘Pong’ then you are going to want this…

Atari Pong Coffee Table, it’s a giant reboot of the 1972 game, however rather than mechanical it uses magnets. It has USB charging points, and a Bluetooth speaker (so not totally pointless). It does however look fantastic and would be a real talking point in any office or home.
