---------------------This is why you get kicked using lagg switch---------------------
ok everyone complaining it laggs you when you flip it And it kiks you... you have to be host of the game you are playing in and to be host after you click find game within 1 second flip the switch for a few seconds and after a few seconds flip it back to on and u should create a game lobby (for cod) and while in the game just flip it for a few seconds and get the guy and flip it off (if you leave it off for long time it just ends game)

Climbing up the ladder
Anybody have any sucess with dimmer switches? (the digitally controlled ones). I am going to pick up one and see if I can make an adjustable lag switch. Cause the way I figure it, if a digital dimmer switch is anything like a 555 timer, it would basically send only parts of the data, and while not 100% standstill lag, it would appear as if you just had a bad connection and were hopping around all over the place.
Mix that with the fact that the receive data is in tact (so you can still see them moving) yet the transmit data is scattered (would appear that way to them) would be pretty great.
Let me ask you guys a question. I haven't done a lag switch yet, but when you flip the switch, does everybody on your screen go to a stand still, or can you still see them running around like normal except you are lagging?
