There are those days when you get really annoyed by all the wires surrounding your workspace and limiting your freedom. Therefore, engineers invented wireless desktops (keyboard and mouse) which are genius inventions but often not so cheap. Beside that, they have some inherit flaws of which most annoying is the need for batteries and somewhat limited range.Moneyless and genius as we are (and humble, too ), we invented brand new wireless desktop that doesn’t need batteries at all! As with all new technologies, there are some glitches at the moment but we are working on fixing them. In fact, our wireless desktop is so cheap and simple to make that you will hate yourself for not inventing this before we did. Luckily for you, we will give you a full tutorial on how to make your own wireless desktop for free! Are you ready?

Ingredients

Here’s what you need:

1. Wire cutters
2. Wired keyboard and mouse
3. 5 minutes of your free time
4. Tablespoon of patience
5. Teaspoon of luck

Wire cutters (can be any color, not necessarily yellow):

Our keyboard and mouse:

(Bear) Time:

Mouse transformation:

Take the mouse in your right hand. Take the wire cutters in your left hand and place them as close to the mouse as possible, like in the picture below, and do the magic:

Keyboard transformation:

Leave the keyboard alone. Take the wire cutters in your right hand and place them approximately 9.29133 inches from the keyboard, and repeat the magic from the first step:

To get it working you need some form of power, and as we all know there’s no greater power than the power of love. So, how do you harvest this power? Simply! Use the excess wire to create a heart-shaped antenna:

You might ask yourself “why is mouse lacking this antenna?” and we have the answer: since the mouse has less buttons it requires less power to work and it doesn’t need the love amplifier as the keyboard does.

Final words

As we said, this technology is still in experimental phase and is experiencing some minor glitches. However, if it doesn’t work for you then you must be a hateful person with lack of love. In that case, consider getting a puppy:

Happy modding!

Are you tired of those tiny reset buttons on your PC? If the answer is “Yes!“, then we have a solution for you! In association with Maddy McBlast, our mad scientist, we give you…the ultimate reset button for your PC!

First of all, some introduction is necessary. In the time before Windows, all computers had a normal-sized reset button because, back then, computers required frequent resetting. And it was normal and nothing happened and it all worked well. You could even reset them with the famous “Ctrl+Alt+Del” key combo. Then came the Windows…and the rest is history. Excellent as Windows are (you do sense the irony in this, don’t you?), it is not a good practice to manually reset your computer “due to possible data loss“. I think that mainly because of that, you now get reset buttons sized as the ones on the PocketPC, that you have to push with a toothpick to activate. Both phoenixx and I used up all our toothpicks and realized that it was time for drastic measures! It looks like the more you spend on a computer case, the smaller the reset button is. See here:

The first reset button actually requires a toothpick, while the second one is nicely blended with the case so that you miss it with greater probability. Fortunately, Maddy McBlast has provided a solution for us:

Yes, it looks like a giant mushroom, but it’s not. We already tried eating it, so we know. It’s a button that is used in industry for stopping various machines and most important thing about it is that it can be activated in any direction. All you have to do is to hit it with something (like, a fist). Here’s another photo of it:

Connection is simple, and only two wires are necessary. Simply replace the original reset button on the case. We used three wires just because we could! No, seriously, the third wire is for future improvements (maybe for a LED?):

Looking at the pictures so far, you could have thought that we are just messing with you and that this button is even smaller than those pesky little reset buttons. So, just for you, we took a photo just for you…just for you…and you. What was I talking about? Oh yes, we took a photo just for you to see how it compares against other things:

So there you have it. No more will you need a toothpick or a pencil to reset your PC. No more will you be forced to use the Task Manager or the Start button to reset your PC. And you know what? Windows will even work better knowing that you have a huge reset button and that you could end their miserable virtual life in a second!
