BIG RED PANIC BUTTON™

What it does

A brutally simple workstation lock button. Connect it to your computer over USB-C, and pressing the industrial mushroom switch immediately locks the workstation.

No software required

• Standard USB HID
• Windows, macOS, and Linux
• No drivers
• No accounts
• No background application
• No telemetry
• No wireless connection

Configurable when you want it

Every BIG RED PANIC BUTTON™ ships with configurable firmware powered by WolfKeyHID, our browser-based USB HID platform. Reassign the button to any keyboard shortcut, system command, or media control directly from your browser: no drivers or installed software required.

One popular reassignment: a dedicated physical interrupt button for terminal and AI CLI workflows, configured to send the appropriate interrupt command.

Want it preconfigured before it ships? Leave a note with your order, or message us with the shortcut you'd like, and we'll program and test it for you at no additional charge.
