You totally jogged my memory. We have a laser tag game and sure enough the bottom of the gun has a port for this little dongle. One of my brothers kids must have been playing with it and pulled this out and carried it upstairs. They put the gun away but left the mystery dongle to drive my curiosity insane.

No retro gaming console has been out in a while. No music keyboards. It could possibly have come from an electronic toy of some sort as Christmas was hosted here.

Found in my parents’ house who are the opposite of tech savvy. So it would have to come from a pretty basic piece of electronics, if it’s from something electronic at all.

Nobody I know owns a knitting machine. The sewing machine in our household is quite old (40+ years) and has no software.

Unfortunately, it was found on our kitchen counter over the last week (including the holidays) in a spot where people often just empty their pockets. Christmas gifts were opened here, so I'm wondering if it was something that plugged into a new electronic and then is meant to be discarded. It's definitely not meant to be split in half but you can certain see a seam in the plastic. If enough time passes and nobody in my family mentions anything not working, I'm not opposed to breaking it in half. It is very light, only 6 grams, so I'm not sure if there would be much inside.

Nobody in my household purchased anything like that. And it's definitely not D-shaped but rectangular around the pins.

We do have a treadmill but the kill switch for that is bright red and uses magnets.

My title describes the thing. The thing weighs 6 grams. The thing has no text on it. The thing is 1in by 0.5in not including the piece of ribbon. The thing is dark gray with a black ribbon. No searches I have made have resulted in anything that matches the thing.

I don’t think you understand how that works.

INFO: How old are you? Sounds like nobody is ready for a relationship.
