Let's face it - beetles are cool. Yet there are not enough rules for the effects of chipping, so we have to get inventive.

I've found that moodchips are sometimes good for keeping tied-up people mellow under the gun, as they lead their employers to a trap over the comlink. Street scum often likes to slot a chip or two on their free time, so they will have the means to do it. Also good for PCs getting into character for that extra touch of etiquette (overly happy receptionist comes to mind) when trying to blend in.

Personafix "puppet" chips might be nice for interrogations (and blackmail - those sex parlor chips are relatively easy to come by). Though not every office worker is going to have a datajack or a modified sim module.

I've also seen chips that make you fearless (identical effects to Guts), which come in handy with critters that use Fear.

What have you done with BTL Chips?
Evil plans and cool character ideas are most welcome, as well as house-rules about the effects of particular chips.

EDIT: For the new readers - my new BTLs can be found a few posts down
