Facts:
I did the fact check on the comment above and Dotz patents were filed in 2006. That is 2 years before this award was won!

Opinion:
Dotz are Awesome! They are a much cleaner & simpler design and will not become entangled with cords like the “concept”. Go Dotz!

Ehh, I think it’s a problem that just isn’t big enough to solve.

I myself only encounter the ‘which plugs which?’ problem a few times a year, and I can mostly tell which plugs belong to which appliances, especially since many product designers these days like to get involved with the plugs as well.

Then again, if I saw them for sale at 10 for $2 I’d probably buy three.

I am torn between thinking this belongs in a Miles Kimball catalog for housewives who have no idea what a power strip is and thinking this would be super handy. I do hate retracing wires but I kind of think this would better be served with some DIY handiwork with some electrical tape action and a pen rather than buying another cheap piece of plastic that may end up in the junk drawer. My point is it does serve its purpose and people will probably buy it but it is still another cheap thing to get out of a catalog for your computer inept grandmother.

I use cable binders with tags to separate cords and knowing which is which. Dotz is a great idea, but it should be realy low-cost to actually work

Yeah they look practical, not sure how much cable that dots going to be able to eat up, though.
