What do you do at work when you think the boss isn't watching?
Play poker? Blast your way through the MAME video game archives? Trawl for potential mates in dodgy chat rooms?
Whatever your poison, for sure at some moment your supervisor/wife/parent has come in and nearly caught you at it. If so, you need a Stealth Switch.
This foot pad device either plugs into a USB port or chains with your keyboard. It includes software and a six foot cable for maximum comfort.
Simply hit the pad with your foot and whatever you're doing will be whisked away from the screen. You can set it up to display a spreadsheet, web page or other boring work-related looking stuff. They will be none the wiser!
How much would you pay to save your job/marriage/reputation as an innocent child in your parent's eyes? We think at $25 the Stealth Switch is a must-have. You could probably even claim it as a tax deductible expense. It IS a vital tool of the trade, after all!
