Covering tech journalism, I tend to accumulate a lot of USB drives. Companies just give them away as press kits. Most of them are bulk-purchased, get-them-for-a-nickel drives with a logo on them, but a few are truly impressive. Add to that some collectors’ drives I’ve gotten in my endless pursuit of gaming merchandise and I bring you the Museum of Weird Nerd USB Keys.

This rubber Decepticon logo came with the press kit for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The key is really awesome, but it doesn’t make up for the fact that the movie sucked.

Hasbro really loves their rubber logo USB keys. This one is clearly not nothing, for it is, indeed, Nerf.

This Mimobot USB key of Darth Vader’s Apprentice came with the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 Collectors’ Edition, and LucasArts sent it with review copies of the game. I feel the need to interject something snarky here about The Force Unleashed 2, but I think it would be better if I just left the joke half-told and make you feel disappointed by the experience. Metahumor!

The USB key that comes with the Starcraft 2 Collectors’ Edition. We’ve covered this one before, and it’s pretty great, and it comes with Starcraft on it.

A lot of companies like to give away USB keys on dog tags. This press kit for the Parrot AR.Drone is one of them, with a simple, flat metal finish and a little tab to make the USB part stick out. And not much connection between a toy helicopter you can control with your iPhone and dog tags.

The Sony Computer Entertainment press kit from an event earlier this year. Pretty, self-explanatory, and pretty self-explanatory.

The GameStop Power Up Rewards Saints Row The Third gold bar USB drive. Another one we looked at before, but still a great one.

The USB drive that comes with the collectors’ edition of Splint Cell: Conviction. It would be nice, except for the fact that it doesn’t work. Like a lot of other people who got the game, I got a copy with a USB drive that won’t actually load. So it’s just a piece of plastic you can stick in a hole in your computer to, I don’t know, keep it warm.

This 2K Games press kit isn’t fancy, but it’s handy. It’s literally a USB key. Looks kind of like a really flat key and everything.
