Mom, can we have battleship?
We have battleship at home.
The battleship at home…
Okay, so technically this battleship is still in drydock, but I soldered 117 keys/buttons. I get to put the keycaps on early if I want!
I don’t know yet. I just know I wanted a big dumb button.
There’s so many normal dumb buttons on this one that I’m running out of ideas. You got any?
It plays a sound that says, and displays a popup which reads: “Please do not press this button again. Thank you.”
I’ve found that mapping a big dumb button to “Enter” works nicely for adding drama when invoking a big old batch script process.
Just FYI, this is what I did. Maybe I’ll change it later, but it fit the vibe for a big dumb button on a computer keyboard perfectly.
I love it! Thanks for letting me know.
This is the kind of low hanging fruit I’m after. Why do two Enter keys when THREE Enter keys is 50% more?!?!!
Minimize all windows and open a spreadsheet
Was legitimately thinking Win+L to lock Windows or Kubuntu.
You could also have it type out, “$USER is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.”

Triggers automated trap door or nerf gun by your desk.
I do still have the 3D printed flywheel assembly I made last year…
If you work from home, maybe something along the lines of: closing all work apps and opening steam (or youtube, or netflix, just what you’re doing to decompress). I just imagine a glorious end-of-day button press meaning I’M DONE, TIME FOR SOME ME TIME!
Open the system shutdown menu? Like restart, shutdown, log out, etc. Or maybe open a fullscreen browser window that navigates to your favourite white noise site, like a relaxation button.
Launch a random retro game to the title screen.
Or any game that doesn’t have a client/launcher like steam. No clicks. Button, controller, start.
Exit to normal mode?
It should launch the Hamster Dance page.
