Power strips are generally pretty boring. You plug stuff into them, then you try your best to hid the strip along with all of the cables feeding into it. But Genki’s Moonbase is meant to be displayed loud and proud on your desk. The retrofuturism-inspired strip we wrote about at the end of last year when it was announced has three AC plugs (1,250W max power), plus four USB-C ports that can output up to 240W of total power (one USB-C port can go up to 140W with the right cable that’s not included with purchase). You can grab one at Amazon in orange/white or blue/black for $89.99. This is the first price cut on the product, which originally sold for $119.99 (it’s pricier through Genki’s site, where it sells for $139.99).
In case the default glowing color surrounding each of the AC plugs isn’t your jam, there’s a touch-sensitive button near where the 1.5-meter braided cable connects that allows you to toggle the hue. And yes, in case you were curious, they can be switched off. The Moonbase is a great do-it-all power strip. What it lacks in a large number of AC plugs, it makes up for with style and plentiful USB-C ports.
