Chad's Crappy Corner and his 3rd 'cheap gadget' theme for July.

Chad's cheap them for July as picked by our loyal Patreons is "Gadgets Under $20".

Chad's 3rd under $20 gadget is the Bugha LED gaming mousepad for PC from Five Below.

 

First, some Five Below Info: It's NEW, it's beyond $5 and still waaay below the rest! (but blink, and it's gone!) The Bugha exclusive gaming LED mousepad is low-friction with an extra large size - giving u tons of room to maneuver. make the most of every opportunity & get better with Bugha! This gaming mousepad lights up all the way around to look amazing - changes colors w/ the push of a button. LED light control features 3 cycling speeds, or click for the solid color of ur choice. Key features: low friction surface, extra large playing surface, RGB color-changing LED lights. XL size: 31.5in x 11.8in. Compatible with PC computers, usb connection, plug & play.

 

And Chad's take: Chad, me and the chatroom were very impressed with this mouse pad. It's huge! 31.5” X 11.8”. And the LED variety of settings was impressive. And the low price --- $10! You'll see Chad demo it in full LED color on this week's show.

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video To Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.

Our email is from a frequent contributor of fun warehouse videos Jeffrey Slomovitz and his son Adam. Here's Jeff's email:

Good Evening Sir,

I wanted to share this video with you and your audience. I love gadgets but have a real problem when it comes to planting flowers and overall landscaping. I decided to rectify the issue with the enclosed video. These flowers light up in various colors and utilize the power of the sun to do so! I guess just like real flowers they need sunlight to thrive as well!!!

Hope you enjoy it - Keep up the great work! Jeff and Adam

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse & How To Submit Your Video To Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.

 

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.
-
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
-
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.
-
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
-
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you'll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it's a copy. We've tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you'll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.
