What is the most useless photographic accessery you could, or have ever bought? Apart from a film squeegee, I would say a soft shutter button is completely useless.
Loupe for LF. Bought one and used it a lot until I lost it. Have not missed it these past decades. Discovered that being so dang near-sighted, I see the image on the GG better without my glasses than I do using a loupe with my glasses on.

Whereas for me, with restricted dexterity in my right hand, an extended (soft?) shutter button makes it possible to more easily use some cameras.
A lot of "useless" accessories are just not well matched to some users' needs.
For example, a high speed motor drive on a 35mm camera would be useless for me.
I've bought camera bags that looked like they would be perfect, but ended up being a poor fit when I tried to adapt them for my use. Usually I've bought them used, so the pain was manageable.
