7 Weird but Genius Gadgets You Didn’t Know You Needed

Sometimes the best gadgets aren’t the ones you’ve been searching for—they’re the ones you didn’t even know existed. The kind that makes you think, "Who came up with this?"… right before you realize you can’t live without it.

We’ve rounded up seven weird—but brilliant—gadgets that will make your next road trip, camping weekend, or daily commute way more convenient. Better yet, they are all available here at Tech-Essentials.


1. 240 W 4-in-1 USB-C Multi-Charger Cable with Breathing Light

A cable that charges up to four devices at once—fast—while glowing with a subtle breathing light. It looks a little space-age, but it means no more fighting over the charger and no more mystery cable tangles.

3. 12-in-1 Star Projector Night Light

Part lamp, part galaxy show—this projector turns any space into a swirling cosmic display. Sure, it’s “weird” to bring a star projector on a trip… until you’re lying in your tent with the Milky Way spinning above you.
