Buffalo’s 4-port USB: now with auto retraction!
Tweet

Buffalo is rolling out some serviceable 4-port USB hubs with roll-up-able cables. Just press the button and hope they retract after a while.

The BHB4-U208 measures 98 x 16 x 33mm, weighs 50g and is supposed to be stylish as well, although we’re not sure how much you can really do to tart up a USB hub. Three ports are lined up on one side and one on the other, so you can separate your critical cable from the others. You get a choice of black, silver, white and blue, and the hubs will cost ¥2,650 when they go on sale next week or so.
