USB Stealth Switch
Go Undercover as a Diligent Employee
We’ve all been there at one point in our working lives; in the middle of watching a hilarious video on YouTube involving a guy falling off a particularly tall filing cabinet, a hedgehog and a huge bowl of custard or for the matter of simplicity, -playing desktop games like Minesweeper or Solitaire. At that exact moment, your boss springs up from behind your shoulder to confirm their suspicions that you are not entirely focused on your job. Though the video may be different, this scenario plays over and over again in offices around the world. Well, you dont have to worry anymore about getting caught with the ingenious USB Stealth Switch.
This small but essential bit of office kit is a desktop cloaking device and instantly hides applications of a suspicious nature just at the press of a foot switch. Your offending browser isn’t just minimised, instead it is completely hidden from view. Not only does the Stealth Switch work visually, it can also mute sound which is great for tackling those annoying, noisy pop up ads.
The foot switch is the cleverest part about the design of this gadget, as you don’t need to fumble around with zooming your mouse towards every close-window button in sight. Nor do you have to ALT-TAB your way out of trouble. The cleverness of the foot switch means that you can be waving your hands over your head as a distraction before everyone looks back at your screen to see that Word or Excel Document you’ve been “working on all along…”
The Stealth Switch comes with a 6 inch USB cable and CD software. It is programmable to hide only what you want to, including browsers, Office Documents, download windows, instant messenger applications, video players etc. Just keep that intricate excel spreadsheet open in the background and you can suddenly become the most persevering worker on your team or at least make other people think you are.
