Pros: it's best toy for usb connectors...
and also it have an ac adapter in the box...
nice boxing and all of them is very cheap...

Cons: i couldn't find any cons...
but in my personal review it can be more larger to play with it...
and also, when touching it with some metal cons, it's current is increasing and if you have not a good psu your computer could be restarted...

Other Thoughts: it was my first order from dx and in my country people was saying it's coming in three weeks, but it came in seven days.. So i'm very hapy to buy something from dx...

Bottomline: if someone wants to buy a small plasma sphere, you should buy yhis one cheapy...

Pros: A plasma ball as an usb gadget. Just had to get this.
- The included AC adapter is a nice touch, I can charge my mp3 player with it too (I live in Europe, so I use sku 13525 as my adapter to run it). It's only 150ma though, so every usb-powered device might not run.
- The plasma ball looks great.

Cons: - The included AC adapter only gives half the current the plasma ball can use (150ma vs. 300ma). The plasma ball looks better when plugged to a real usb port, as it gives the required current.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: An USB gagdet you don't have yet, and so have to get ;)
Included AC to usb power adapter is a nice bonus. Recommended.

Pros: OH my god this thing is awesome!!!!! Never seen it that close!!!! It works better in the USB rather the AC adaptor is weak... ery interesting, bright and also, lights up the cold lights!!! Magic!!

Cons: Well bad bad bad build quality, but for the price nevermind... Mine got a mark in the glass it was damaged but worked ok... the adaptor is only 300mAh, so it's weak!!!

Other Thoughts: DO NOT TAKE IT OFF FROM THE USB WITH YOUR HANDS ON IT, IT WILL DAMAGE YOUR COMPUTER!! mine restarted after that!!!!

Bottomline: Good gift, but could be better quality!!!!

Pros: This is a great fun toy that you definetly need to buy!!!!!
It comes with a handy usb plug so i can sit and play with it as i browse dx on my laptop :P

Cons: The wall adapter it comes with is no good to me as I live in UK, so it will not work without a convertor.. not really a con though as it still works fine via usb

Other Thoughts: If you place it on your forehead then it makes a weird noise in your ears ??? maybe this is because of the high voltage?
Also seems to attract better to wrists than fingers :PPP

Bottomline: Buy it if you have the sparee cash you wont regret it and its great fun to play with if your waiting for a download to finish :P
