Title: The StealthSwitch II...
Post by: Arcmanov on April 10, 2010, 03:05:32 AM

While searching for a proper push-to-talk solution, I came upon this little gem (http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/usb-gadgets/c8a8/) on ThinkGeek

(http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/front/c8a8_stealthswitch_2.jpg)

So named as it was primarily used as a panic button to instantly hide all desktop windows from prying eyes.

I have now found use for it as a super-convenient PTT switch.  The included 'configurator' makes it rather easy
to reprogram the switch to emulate any key, or macro, that can be used for a host of apps.

So now, its sole purpose is for PTT in any voice chat app, like Mumble, or Ventrilo.

Cost me 33 US, and a further 113 TT to in total to import it.


Easily one of the best peripherals I have ever bought.
