The pile of papers at your “IN” tray is piling up with no end in sight, your rent’s due tomorrow, your car loan is currently a couple of months’ outstanding, the baby doesn’t have enough clean diapers at home, your boss gives you nothing but more pressure-intensive deadlines day after day - when will you be able to get away from it all and take a nice, long break?

I’m not sure how ergonomic the MUS2 Mouse is but it certainly looks a bit different to the usual multi button keyboard companion.

Zoltar is just like any other animatronic fortune teller you’ve see in those shady arcades everyone loves to go into.

You know that feeling; you can just tell someone is coming to peek at what you’re doing. Now, what if you’re doing something you’re not supposed to be doing at work. At that precise moment, you’ve got to race to close all those suspect windows before that someone arrives.

Those worries will be gone forever, just give your handy StealthSwitch a tap.
