Hulk Smash!

I got this in my Bag o Carp,

DOES NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS 7

sigh..

Great Price, Got the Spiderman one last W00t-off for 2.99 plus shipping and it wasn't compatible with my Windows 7 OS. So it just sits on my shelf now...

hmmm stuff seems to be $$$$$$$$$ or its like .99 and junk....



*shrug*


Bunnies Ogling Carrots please

Finally, the good stuff!

What do these things actually do?

Could any of these be reprogrammed to be a big F5 button? Mine is wearing out.

Got one of these last woot-off and my computer doesn't like it. Good thing I still like just slamming the button when I'm annoyed.

Specs say it's compatible up to Vista? What year is it?

Probably a moot point for most people, but this comes with a CD-ROM. I bought this for a little bit of fun at work, and my pc doesn't have a drive. I haven't been able to find the driver online.
Just wanted to let people know in case they are in a similar situation.

Got a USB Port? Put the CD on a USB drive.

I ordered three.

If there isn't a Linux driver already, I'll write one and submit it for the next kernel.

Might even work out of the box with libusb.

WOOT HULK NOT CARE IF BOSS SEE HULK ON WOOT ALL DAY

Have you tried copying the drivers from the CD to a Flash drive and then running the installer (.msi or .exe) from there? That is what I usually do on my devices with no CD drive. Good luck!

Ugh..Wootalyzer betrayed me saying there was plenty of time to buy the Neato vacuum so I did some quick research. AND THEN BAM! This stupid thing pops up. Perhaps the Neato sold out? Oh well...I can buy it at Costco for $60 more but with a lifetime satisfaction guarantee return policy.

Bought two of these (big red button version) for Xmas gifts. Neither one worked, and Dream Cheeky seemed to be out of business. Waste of money.

These things usually last about 1 minute. Draw your own conclusion.

ALT-F4 perhaps . . ?

Once libusb or the kernel driver are working, it shouldn't be too hard to make it inject any key sequence into the Linux input subsystem... say keycode 63...

bought 3 for stocking stuffers at Christmas time. I guess if they are not compatible that is the recipiants problem.

Works with Vista? They should have given you one of these when you bought it

Has anyone who bought one tried these custom drivers on Windows 7?

They were updated (kind of) in 2009, but maybe they're compatible with the newer OS anyway. Any budding beta-testers out there who can give it a whirl?

They did. It's called the "Power Button". Hold it for 8 seconds and everything gets better. Your computer turns off without saving anything but that's still better than running with Vista.

Is my Macintosh 'XP or later'?

For their generic one, but I'm willing to bet they're all identical other than the Windows software.
