Dream Cheeky Iron Man USB Stress Panic Button

[imanotherstory]

@bibbott

Wonder if you can rig this as a push-to-talk button for Ventrilo…

That would make it worth it

HOWEVER,

I figured out that all the button is doing is sending SHIFT+ALT+P to the computer where their software is listening. Using autohotkey I was able to hook up that key combination to run a python script which fires my USB missile launcher I also purchased during the last wootoff

You are awesome!

@auctionsaver

Yeah, I had the same thoughts.

Can this work on my PS3 or 360 if either network goes down or hacked?

Reminds me of the Broken I.W.I.N. Button - Item - World of Warcraft.

I think I’ll hold out for the USB missile launcher. It’s gotta be coming up!

[baqui63]

Ok, I’ll hack this into a big F5 refresh button for the next woot-off.

USB Stress Panic Button

Seeing this I decided what Woot needs is a big red “I don’t want” button during wootoffs so that all logged in users can establish a need to move on. Heck you could have that open a multiple choice window where you could select why, such as: too expensive, already own, don’t need/want, etc.

I told myself I’d never be “that guy”, but after reading the write-up, I’m compelled to say… it’s “cubicle”, not “cubical”.

cries over my official conversion to “jerk requiring proper spelling on internet”

[bergqupm]

Now if it was the Liberace Stress Button I’d be in for three, but Iron Man…

nuh-uh.

I bought the USB stress button from the last wootoff and was severely disappointed with the screen effects.

You win the internet

Don’t see why not. Just set up a macro that is the same as this button and disable the software this thingy uses?

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, I think it would cause more stress than it would relieve…for a variety of reasons.

[XrayAnime]

Can I rewire this and make it a self-destruct button?

That is possibly the best idea I have ever read here on the forums, any chance we can make this happen??

I’m just going to have to resist the impulse. . .

$8 for this crap…

there’s a sucker born every minute.

Could you distinguish between three of these? Might be good for a home quiz game…
