Caps Lock Trainer Key: Never Shout Online Again

2008_10_30-caps-lock-traine.jpgNOW HERE'S A FUNNY LITTLE CONTRAPTION. TWO 14 GAGUE 10 MILLIMETER SPIKES ON THE SURFACE OF A CAPS LOCK KEY. Whoops, was I shouting? We have all seen it before. In blog comments, on forums. Either someone is really trying to get their point across or they have fallen behind in 'netiquette' class.

 
 

The caps lock trainer key consists of two 14 gauge 10 millimeter spikes protruding through the surface of the key. Sitting somewhere between a chastity belt and a typing tutor program for the caps lock inclined, this is definitely more of a novelty item than a practical solution. Overkill? For sure, but in designer Sean Micheal Ragan's own words:

"YOU ONLY HAVE TO HIT IT ONCE TO BE CURED OF USING THE CAPS LOCK KEY FOREVER."

Believe it or not, I actually have to use the caps lock key. All text on architectural drawings are in all caps, by convention.
