Weird & wonderful

A kids' novelty hat with a spinning blade that makes him feel told what to wear.

Feels like it genuinely helps posture, though it is rattly and awkward to use.

A USB stick console with a light Wii-style controller, running a fruit-slicing game that barely detects slices.

Modular winged shoes with detachable parts that look mismatched and have no padding.

A surprisingly convincing Apple Watch Ultra lookalike for the price, with sleep tracking that was partly accurate.

A fake mini PlayStation with no shoulder buttons, leaving him stuck on level one.

A pressure pad coaster with no battery that broke quickly, nothing like the real Ember mug.

Still gives relief and is a decent budget option, but is less powerful and more vibrate than knead than the real Theragun.

A toy parachute built for action figures that successfully carried a smartphone through a 50-foot drop without damage.

A tank-shaped PC with a built-in digital thermostat and well-placed fans, which he lists among the most unbelievable.

Impressive attention to detail, but he jokes it looks homemade and he would keep well away from it.

A PC suspended from a custom stand with individually lit scales that open to boost airflow.

His pick as the most unbelievable PC of the bunch, and he says he loves it.

A PC built into a sneaker that comes in different colours, though you only get one shoe.

Spectacularly weird heavy shoes with curved soles that are no good for running.

Rough-looking 3D-printed shoes that surprisingly feel fantastic, and he kept them.

Slime-shaped controller with the worst ergonomics he has experienced.

A huge controller that looks like it needs training to use, complete with a working eject button under a protective cover.

Billed as a revolutionary way to control games, but it never caught on because Nintendo made only two games for it.

A sword controller with motion sensors and vibration that he finds awesome, though the button layout takes getting used to.

A GameCube controller made so players could chat with friends while playing, and it was definitely not meant to be yellow.

A chainsaw-shaped controller that probably makes the game ten times harder to play.

A fishing rod controller that let players physically reel in fish in the game.

Really cool high school locker design with hand-drawn graffiti and rust details to match the game.
