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.

This is the kind of low hanging fruit I’m after. Why do two Enter keys when THREE Enter keys is 50% more?!?!!

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.”

It should launch the Hamster Dance page.

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!

The Cheat is grounded! We had that light switch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off, not so you could throw light switch raves!

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.

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.
