908 Thunder Missile Launcher NR Electronic Reference Device

Yeah, it's a little overpriced and it serves very few practical purposes, but this thing is too much fun in cube wars. I bought it because I could control it via usb commands with our network operations center monitoring software to automatically shoot darts at the help desk guys if they were asleep at the wheel, failing to respond to alerts quickly enough. It does work exactly as advertised. I'm surprised at the range and accuracy after a very short learning curve. My only complaint, and it wasn't enough to warrant even removing one star, is that it doesn't come with software to manually control it. You have to go to the dream cheeky website, give them your email address, then receive a link via email to download the fire control software (which is *very* lightweight, btw) I love the thing..

Works great, and is small enough to not be obtrusive on my office desk. Aiming is a little tricky, but it generally hits what you aim at. Lots of fun at the office. The only surprise was that you have to download the software, they don't include a driver in the package,

Buyer beware on this one: First of all, I'm not sure Dream Cheeky is still in business. Their download links return an AWS error and they have been completely unresponsive on email, Twitter and Facebook and haven't shown much activity there for months. This is problematic because the software to control the turret IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE BOX. Without the software, this is a $40 paperweight. There are several third part scripts. I got one to work .... twice. After that the turret stopped responding and the script now can only give a "Unknown Error" from the device. It goes back to Amazon on Monday.

Hooked up to the computer fine and the software worked fine. The launcher only moves around though - won't fire. Tried to email Dream Cheeky but none of their suggestions worked.

This is a fun little gadget but it is very hard to stealthily hit my co worker with an arrow because it is very loud, more of an observation of use then a complaint. Other than that the product works well shoots a good 10+ feet and has good repeated accuracy. all and all this is a good product.

I must say, I love this thing. It works really well, and the software must have been updated at some point as I find I have quite a bit control over the aiming. The 4-inch cable length is incorrect, it is actually more around 4 feet, so it provides you great room for placement. I'm still in the early stages of playing with this product, but so far, I'd be willing to buy another one.

I recently moved to a different cubical at work and needed something to torment one of my neighbors - boom! this is it! The box advertises the launcher has a range of 25 feet - it does! I also purchased additional missiles as they are going to be easy to lose or will be confiscated by those hit accidentally. The replacement missiles are actually fit on the unit a bit tighter and help to increase the range.

Its a lot of fun. So far I haven't lost any missiles yet and they do fly far. The office IT department doesn't like it attached to my work computer and keeps removing it off the computer but I think they hate it more when they come back and I have reinstalled it and shoot the missiles at them. HAHAHA!!! It's good to be the boss!!!!
