A bit of light hearted nonsense :-) – Customizable Text Dot-Matrix LED Scrolling Message Display Cap (Red Light) Reviews

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

Pros:
This is a great little piece of nonsense that has no practical use whatsoever, but is a bucket of fun to make your friends laugh and jealous at the same time. The trick is, do not tell them where you got it. If you can be a little bit imaginative when composing the messages, it can be very entertaining. If you have a favourite sports team, or want to brag about yourself, this is the thing for you
Cons:
Very basic actions for programming, without the ability to edit. If you make a mistake, you have to start again :-(. The instructions are not all that helpful, but if you have ever owned a digital watch or timer, you will soon work it out. My finger did get a bit sore after composing all 6 available messages
Other:
If an edit feature could be added, that would be great
Bottomline:
It doesn't hurt to be a little bit silly from time to time, and this is one of the best ways to do just that. Good fun all round
