Nitecore launches compact air duster with USB-C

The Nitecore BB Nano Wired is a small electric air duster

Nitecore has introduced the so-called BB Nano Wired, a particularly compact air duster powered via USB Type-C. It is claimed to be twice as powerful as a conventional hand-squeeze air blower and provides a continuous stream of air. However, maximum performance requires the correct USB Power Delivery voltage.

Nitecore's new BB Nano Wired is a particularly compact air duster that's designed to clean laptop keyboards, remove dust from hard-to-reach areas inside PC cases, and clean cameras. It weighs just 3 ounces and measures 1.85 x 1.85 x 3.62 inches. Unlike the previously introduced BB Nano, the wired model does not have a battery.

Instead, it requires a USB-C power source, with performance varying according to the supplied voltage. According to Nitecore, the blower can produce air speeds of 31 mph when connected to a power adapter or power bank supporting USB Power Delivery at 20V. This drops to 19 mph at 9V or 12V and 12 mph at 5V. Nitecore has fitted an RGB LED ring around the USB-C port that changes color depending on the input voltage. The company previously used a similar ring on the NB10000 Gen4 power bank, where it helped make the ports easier to find in the dark.

Nitecore claims the BB Nano Wired delivers twice the performance of a manual squeeze blower commonly sold as a camera accessory, producing 3 kPa of pressure. It also maintains this output continuously rather than in bursts. By comparison, the battery-powered BB Nano produces 2.6 kPa and is slightly heavier at around 3.5 ounces.

The BB Nano Wired is now shipping, although it has not yet reached Nitecore's official distributor in all regions. Pricing has not been announced either, but for comparison, the battery-powered model currently retails for $29.95 in the US.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
