USB Hack: USB Caps Locker Gadget

Written by Richard Blanchard on April 7th, 2008. Posted in USB Hacks

usb caps lock gadgetHere is a Master Card commercial in the making – a USB gadget designed to randomly turn on or toggle a computer’s Cap Locks.

USB connector = $1.30
Some logic = $4.00
A bit of code = $0.00
Watching your work buddy get frustrated because of random Cap Locks = Priceless.

This DIY gadget will intermittently set the caps lock anywhere between 30 seconds and 8 minutes on the host system. What’s creative about this hell gadget is no software code is loaded to the system, thus spyware wouldn’t catch the culprit. Although it is hardware based – so probably not a good gadget trick for a laptop user or a savvy computer geek, but connecting it to the backside port of the idiots PC next to you at work – Priceless.
