It looks like just a cable with a chopped-off end, but there is much more to this cable than meets the eye... it's Haunted! A ghost inside this little cable messes with any machine it's plugged into! While plugged into a machine, it will randomly toggle tHE CAPSLOCK, randomly insert a Spa ce, a Delet, a Tab, and other mischief! (Note: The purpose of the device is to bewilder and amuse - it's not intended to be one of those things that exists only to anger and annoy others.)
Do you want to know the horrible secret of how one is made?
| Once the Haunted USB cable is plugged into a computer, the CAPS LOCK light will be blinked once (after about 10 seconds) to let you know it's working. From then on it begins to randomly turn on CapsLock, Insert, and NumLock modes. It also randomly inserts a Space, Backspace, Tab, or Delete. It does this at random times, waiting up to 30 minutes between each random event. The Haunted USB Cable's software and hardware is Open Source (click that link for more details.) |

To use:
1. Plug it into a computer.
2. Tuck the cut end of the cable in among existing cables, or under peripherals.
Like any good prank, it's not too obvious. It's just enough to bewilder someone with what appears to be a malfunctioning keyboard.
Eventually your victim will decide something is wrong. Sooner or later they will start trying to find the problem, and when they do they'll find the mystery of a decapitated USB plug with an empty cable! Even techies will be scratching their heads in confusion over it. How could an empty cable cause such problems? Unless the wires must be shorting out or something...?
