Optical USB Mouse With Privacy Button Hides Secret Stuff From Prying Eyes

USB Smart Privacy Mouse

We’ve all looked at things on the net that we would rather not get caught looking at – I’m thinking of when I look for gifts for the wife online (what did you think I meant?) – and whilst there are many devices that offer a means of hiding either web pages or programs at a moments notice this USB Smart Privacy Mouse could prove a somewhat faster alternative on account of it being directly to hand (assuming, that is, that you are not otherwise engaged).

The USB Smart Privacy Mouse, as well as offering 800dpi resolution optical tracking, offers an instant privacy mode courtesy of an extra side mounted button that, with the assistance of the devices software, can be programmed to hide the application of your choice with a simple click – though if you decide not to install the supplied software the button will revert to simply perform the equivalent function as ‘the short cut key at the right of your windows tool bar’.

In theory it’s an elegantly simple solution right up until someone else uses your computer and presses the button at which point the phrase ‘there’s no smoke without fire’ will probably spring to mind – after all, let’s face it, if you’re going to have a button to conceal dubious items it would help matters if the button itself wasn’t so blindingly obvious.

The USB Smart Privacy Mouse retails for around $20.
