WE’VE ALL SEEN SOMEONE SHOUTING ON THE INTERNET. It may be a cry for attention on a forum or perhaps trying to express their frustration. In either case, shouting through words just hurts the eyes and breaks one of the rules of netiquette.
You may have had to explain to someone the rules of netiquette before, but if they don’t listen, you can reinforce this rule using the caps lock trainer key. With this keyboard mod, two 14 gauge 10 mm lebret spikes are threaded and secured to the key.
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.”

While this is an amusing statement, the better way to do it is use commonly available software to disable it or make it do something else, like act like another shift-key.
Once it stops working as you thought it would, you quickly stop using it.
