Apart from allowing us to move around and run, our feet might also save our lives in some delicate situations. For instance, when in your cubical and playing a game or watching some porn instead of working on your report or whatever you are supposed to do, the sound of feet is how you know when someone is approaching your cubicle. This way you know you have to cease what you are doing an make it appear you were hard at work. But how exactly are you going to move that fast? Well, this is where your feet come “in handy”, but you still need the Stealth Switch.

With the foot-activated Stealth Switch you can easily avoid getting caught fooling around at your computer by your boss. First, you have to install the special software and plug the hidden foot switch in (it goes either between the keyboard and your computer, or just into an available USB port). Hide it under your desk and your feet can activate it whenever needed. When you activate the switch, it can hide the current window, hide all windows, or hide all windows except for specified windows. Keep in mind that it doesn’t just minimize windows, but totally erase from your screen. The Stealth Switch can also mute the sound, hide the taskbar, hide the desktop icons, and password protect the restore function. When the coast is clear, another quick tap and you are ready to get to “work” in no time.

The Stealth Switch is available at ThinkGeek for just $24.99.
