Yes, yes, yes; a very noobish thing indeed. Keep in mind the only reason I published this article was simple because I like to document every thing I build. To be very honest I never even used it (besides testing), and even that was limited use. Anyways point is I no longer have it, sold it for a tidy sum ;). so what made it a lag switch anyways? Well I'll tell you...

    It all starts with the Internet cord or Cat5e cable. In this cable there are about eight or so wires, one of them is orange. This orange wire is a data wire, it takes some of the data packets that are normally delivered to a server some where else on the globe. Now by stopping the flow of packets across this wire lags the transmission, essentially causing the server to have a brain fart. When used in online gaming, things really slow down or even stop, can you see where this is going? People who use them in an online match are normally not effected by the lag so they go around killing all the stopped or slowed players; and the other players can do nothing to stop it.  

    Personally I am not a fan of lag switches. People who uses them essentially have no skill and would rather ruin the game for every one else simply for their own pleasure. Overall the lag switch is really just great for making a couple bills, just complete it, test it, and happily sell it to some poor cheap gamer who will most likely get banned for using one.
