I'm more concerned about killer bees

Hitting this stress button is a good alternate to hitting F5 nonstop during woot offs.

Maybe I can hit the stress button with one hand and F5 with the other to even out the exercise my fingers get.

whisky tango foxtrot????

A panic button for a Bunnies Ogling Carrots Sweet. When you see the Bunnies Ogling Carrots appear you hit the button. I like it!

Does anyone else have one of these and know how to make it work (IE do anything) on OSX or linux? i've tried using pyusb to no success.

Can this be re-programmed to do other things by hitting the button?

I'd love to have a big, silly button like this that can launch a favorite app, or mute or something.

I know it's cheap, but $8 for three of these is a bit silly. I can't think what i'd do with them.

Oh well, in for three.

No deal?

Seems like the inventory of these is destined to a future bag-o-crap.

At this price.. a rip off. In a bag-o-crap, I'd be thrilled with this.

I bought one of these and my blood pressure went down, I won the lottery and my dog started talking. True story.

(Except I didn't buy one and the other stuff was lies)

Pretty useless. I was never able to get my old one working on windows7 or mac-n-cheese-n-cheese... or linux...

I agree, but it's a big red button with a plastic cover that should be really REALLY easy to hack onto something else.

well, bought 3. not sure what I will do with these buttons.

seriously loving your avatar

I got the Hulk one in a recent Bunnies Ogling Carrots and it didn't work.

I thought too long about it. Sold out, oh well.

who buys these things?

If anyone is wondering you can download all the drivers from the manufacturer website. They have other panic buttons and this one works with win7

you maybe able to use the spiderman one with it...

just got my package. i have XP and WIN7 Only tried XP so far, the Spiderman software works..very aromatic effects though. I thought there would be more animation/effects but they are more like screen savers.

I tried 3 other software types from their website and it seems that there is a difference in the hardware and it will not allow you to use the spiderman button with the panic/explosion/hulk software.

I would really like to get this to work with the other versions of the software and will look into it further, if there is a programmer/hacker/coder that wants to try please do!

thanks!
