Good lord, I had one of these. By SoundBlaster, IIRC (May still have it in a box somewhere).
For the confused younger folk: They were a neat idea on paper, but awful in practice. Being all rigid plastic without padding on the base, they excelled at transmitting every bump/vibration of the desk, keyboard taps and (roller ball) mouse movement. 😬
Before headsets with mics or decent noise cancellation were a thing, and before online gaming was much of a thing, so most gamers had powered speakers on their desks. Which the mic was also great at picking up…
You can’t see a fart either, what’s ya point?
Oh some of mine were easily visible
I had one back in the 90s and used it to record a fart and play it back, to the amusement of my friends.
LOUD PLASTIC CLACKS
I loved Sound Recorder. I’d play things backwards, then try to duplicate the pronunciation and see how it sounded.
I still remember that “Wheat yets third beat pa.” is roughly “Happy birthday to you.”
