Usb Gadget
A gadget is usually a small technological object that has a specific function and which is often though of as a novelty. Gadgets are considered to be more unusual and cleverly made compared to normal objects of that time, from the same domain. Gadgets are also called gizmos, and you can find all the useful information about them, including their history, here.
Since technology had evolved so much, and computers are a part of our lives today, there are many gadgets on the market that are related to these devices. And for today we’ll discuss more about some electronic USB gadgets. And one of them is the “High tech office based prank device”. You can buy this device from here for a price of just 12 dollars. And it is a really interesting and unusual invention, that can be a very good prank device. So in case you want to get rid of the boredom from the office, and you want to make a harmless joke to one of your co-workers, this device can be a really good choice for you. And here is how it works. As you may see from the image below, it looks just like a regular USB stick. And it also needs to be placed in a free USB port, but the resemblances end here.
It is not a storing device, so you won’t be able to store information on it. Even though it looks like a simple USB stick, it is actually a device of unlimited office based torture. This one has 3 functions: it can make random mouse movements, it can toggle the caps lock on or it can type odd garbage text and phrases. All you need to do is connect it to a laptop or a computer, and this is it…no drivers are required. Before connecting it to the victim’s PC, you can set the method of torture. You can choose one of the three actions mentioned above, or you can select all of them. And you can even set the time between these actions. So your colleague will do his work like usual, and then suddenly the mouse cursor will begin to move, or the caps lock key will be activated or stupid texts will appear on his screen.
Of course he will get scared, and he will think that his computer is attacked by some kind of destructive virus. And while he will be writing angry and furiously dial to tech support, you will stay relaxed and be happy that you made a successful joke. Of course it won’t be recommended to use this gadget onto the boss’s computer, or on the computer of someone who is doing very important work, because you risk of getting fired 
.
So this was just one example of an electronic USB gadget, but of course there are hundreds of more others. You will usually find them on the internet, so just search for them. Some other examples of gadgets from this category would be: an USB 8 GB flash drive lighter, a humping USB dog, an USB robot owl, an USB stress ball, an USB hand warmer, an USB flexlight, an USB pregnancy test, a Japanese R2 D2 USB humidifier, an USB LED beverage cooler and many more others. So enjoy them and have fun using them!

There are tons of USB gizmos you can use for pranks. For example, a friend bought an USB stick that could shut down your monitor upon command. It had this small remote control and every time he pressed this little button, the USB stick would receive the command and turn off the monitor. He connected the USB stick into the back of the unit of his brother’s computer and would play pranks on his all the time. As long as is brother kept away from the ports, he would have never noticed the stick was there. It was really funny seeing him become nervous and frustrating and thinking of buying a new monitor.
