okay it's been a really really really
rocky road but we finally got the
channel back so welcome to tech flow
[Music]
so guys I want to keep this video off by
saying a massive sorry from all of us
here at Tech Flo a bunch of YouTube
channels including Tech Flo and a load
of other ones that I own actually got
compromised someone else got hold of the
channels and I couldn't login and they
change the load of things around really
stressful but we're back with the top 5
desk accessories let's do this
[Music]
now in no particular order coming in at
number five we've got this anchor
charger now this little magic charger
isn't in the top five just because it
looks kind of nice and fits in the palm
of your hand it's actually got a few
party tricks which will make it
absolutely awesome for any desk setup or
even any travel setup I actually use
this in my travel bag so on the front of
it you've got your power connector to
plug into the wall and then on the
reverse side nice and simple we've got a
power led up here we've got a USB C port
then just below that a USB 3 port so
what makes this so special
forty-nine point five watts of power yes
forty nine point five watts of power
coming from this tiny little thing now
to put that into perspective this thing
is really really small compared to a
macbook charger now albeit the macbook
charger charges at around 70 to 80 watts
however this charging at 50 is small it
still charges a Macbook I've got the
15-inch MacBook Pro it charged it ten
percent in about 16 minutes and it said
it was going to take about two hours and
ten minutes to charge full I can also
plug this in at home charge up things
like my Google pixel 3ei and get really
really fast speed charging that up I
managed to fall ten percent in about
three to four minutes on the pixel 3a
which I thought was amazing and if
you've got some really high capacity
battery backups well this thing or get
them up to juice super super quickly as
well as charging an old-school USB
device at the same time I love this
thing it lives in my travel bag but it
would work on a desk pretty much
anywhere beats the price of the Apple
charges - coming in at number four guys
we've actually got this lamp that's
literally right there so there's things
in here not only because it looks really
really awesome but because it is
functional it gives off a really really
nice light especially for a desk it's
not all that powerful so it's not
blinding and it's nice and warm so let's
say if you say in there you're reading
or you're looking at your screen this is
something that I would want on my desk
as a light source now as well as it
looking cool and giving off a
nice warm glowing like it's also powered
by USB making it perfect for a desk most
modern monitors have got a USB port on
the back that's throwing out a few amps
so you could plug it into the back of
that or just plug it into your computer
or a wall outlet oh yeah Anker charger
that's also charging your MacBook at the
same time and then to actually operate
the light you use this drawstring in the
middle if you bring the bottom ball up
to the top bulb they will magnetized
together and voila on comes the lamp
this thing is super super dope now don't
be angry this is a power strip just a
standard power strip but please hear me
out so for the next of 20 seconds I'm
gonna review a power strip this is a
nice one it's built solidly it has three
ports in it you can toggle all three
ports at once with this switch it has
two USB ports in it it's built really
well it has mounting holes on the back
it has a nice thick cable it's got a
nice thick plug there's a power strip
this is good but to be in a top five
it's got to do something cool right
which it does trust me so you guys have
all seen them smart plugs lying around
you can go ahead and plug anything into
them lights toasters and then you can go
ahead and attach those smart plugs to a
smart assistant like an Amazon they're
all a Google home and go ahead and
control them now this device right here
does that but allows you to control each
port individually so one two and three
the two USB ports on the end that's sick
there's numerous uses I can think right
over top of my head for this thing let's
imagine you've got a triple monitor
computer set up you could plug each
monitor into all of these so then
whenever you leave the house you can
make sure all your monitors are off by a
click of a button on your phone and then
if you've got a couple of USB powered
LED strips behind your monitors you
could plug them in here and then have
them activated by Amazon or Google home
or on your phone this thing is super
super cool
I actually use one of these in my life
not behind my desk though I use it under
my bed I have the left bedside light
plugged in here
the right bedside light plugged in here
so both of those lights are now
controlled by Google home and then I
also plugged my phone charger into these
and I have it turn off at 4:00 a.m. in
the morning automatically to stop
overcharging happening to my phone you
can use these things in really really
genius ways I think the fact that as the
USB control on there is why I like this
so much this is a sick piece of kit now
coming up in number two for our desk
accessory video is this mouse mouse I
absolutely love this thing I bought it
because it was super super cheap and I
thought it was going to be rubbish but I
love it absolutely love it ok so it's a
mouse mat and as far as Mouse maps go
albeit it's not very big but for
somebody that works at a desk primary
demographic here I think this is perfect
because it also boasts a wireless
charging pad off to the right hand side
so you can literally place your phone
down there and go ahead and work away
this if you charge your phone a lot is
also it's powered by microUSB up there
so it can plug straight into your
computer and I thought this would be
awesome if you had a wirelessly charging
Mouse whenever you're not working you
could literally use it put the mouse on
the wireless charging pad it's charging
and then literally you take it off you
start working again
jobs are good in this thing super cheap
and I actually love how a mouse travels
on this because of the material I put
the link in the description looks super
super dope as well now coming in at
number one I actually bought one of
these fire editor here at Tech flow and
it lives on his desk so but another one
here for this top 5 this is a really
simple USB see dock and it can sit on a
desk go ahead and plug well the USB into
your computer or into a monitor or into
a USB port for charging but then it will
also transfer stuff so if you've got a
phone this is an iPhone they also make a
lightning version of this you go ahead
and plop it on you can go ahead and then
sync to your computer or just go ahead
and charge your phone and the way it
props your phone up is super super cool
you can see all the notifications that
are coming through my editor here at
Tech flow Jed absolutely loves this
thing this well he's got one on his desk
already
might just give him this one to take
home because he seems to like the one
that's on his desk already but there you
go those are five top desk accessories
that came to mind when I thought of this
video title I hope you enjoyed them if
you guys want to leave some suggestions
down in the comments that'd be wicked
but with that being said mine has been
Alex this has been tech flow you guys
knew that and we'll catch you in the
next one adios
