Not only is the base a USB hub, it is also very heavy. Although I have not taken a picture of the inside of the Breeze Pro, there is a large weight inside it. No doubt this ensures that the desktop fan will stay on the desk.

The base of the Breeze Pro has six small rubber feet. Each of these feet can be removed, revealing a small screw. Once each of these screws is removed, the device itself can be opened.

The base also has a hook where the long 1.8 meter USB cable can be rolled up, reducing cable mess. This is a very thoughtful idea by Arctic.

The rod of the fan is quite sturdy. It seems to be made of some kind of metal. The rod is quite flexible, but I have the impression that it will become limb if it is excessively used. For a desktop USB-powered fan, however, I doubt such a problem will arise as consumers will adjust the fan position only once.

The flexible rod will be handy to direct the fan’s airflow towards moist hands during gaming sessions.
