This spy gadget looks exactly like a Casio DS-5500 desktop calculator, and it even functions as one, but of course things aren’t exactly what they look like. So you can quietly sit with the calculator and record video at 640 x 480 at 30 FPS, or take pictures of 1280×960 resolution. Costs $40.

Rather than the Freaky Spy Gadgets we usually see, this pen isn’t intended to spy on someone else, but rather to write secret messages and then destroy those letters before the enemy sees them. The pen has special refills that can be used to write invisible letters, and if you need to read such messages, you will have to read them in using the LED on top of the pen. There’s a paper-lacerating function as well, so secret messages can be destroyed. Costs $1.72.

Our distaste for Freaky Spy Gadgets is pretty well documented, but this one breaks all barriers of uselessness. Even James Bond won’t be able to pull off a spy camera hidden inside an electric shaver. It has a 640×480 camera with 4GB of storage and is a perfect waste of $238. It is available at Omejo, who appears to be the master of useless addition of cameras to a hell lot of things.
