USB Computer Prankster is practically harmless

USB Computer Prankster is practically harmless

Gawd, please don't use this on me, beloved comrades. If you slipped this $32 USB Computer Prankster into a USB port in the back of my PC, I probably wouldn't be fooled when it started turning caps lock on and off, typing random text, and taking my cursor on random trips to cloud cuckoo land.

This diabolical dongle could wreak havoc on the uninitiated, especially if you install it and then set its time delay so you can sneak away undetected. Really, be careful where you apply this annoyance; someone might notify Homeland Security.

Thumbs Up, via Geek Alerts

A friend of mine from college used to play a prank where the victim's CD drive would open and close furiously...

It was also completely at random... Most hilarious thing I've ever seen.

Admittedly, this is quicker and more subtle... Does it work in Linux/BSD/Mac?

The old-school trick of copying the user's desktop and then overlaying it was the best.
All the clicking in the world and nothing was reacting.

My Dell laptop came with that device preinstalled.
