Laptop/netbook accessories - cheap!

LIDL are selling the USB Traveller Kit - with a stated 3 year warranty - for 6.99 down from their original price of 14.99. Just got one and tried out the bits, my netbook was a bit of a pain in some ways, it is much easier to use a mouse, with a separate numeric keypad.
The kit has mouse, 4 port usb hub, numeric keypad, earphone/mike, usb extension cable, telephone extension cable, network extension cable.
I will use all of this except for the phone extension cable, tried it all out, and it all was recognised and worked first time. The network cable was easy to put in, but I struggled to remove it - breaking nails etc. This was because the plastic clip on it was cheap and flexed too much - but it is still usable at a pinch.
Added bonus was two usb adapters - one of which fitted in my 6300 phone - so I can even now update my phone on the move!
All of this stuff is in wind up cable format, so extends to reasonable distances.
Comes in a natty case size of a slightly bigger CD format. I am now going back for two more for my kids.
Cheap as chips!

    Hi pjala, thanks for this.

    Can you let me know which branch of Lidl you found them in. I have tried my local branch but they say they haven't had them in for many weeks.

    Thanks again.
