> User configurable physical Privacy Switch - turn off your microphone, bluetooth, Android apps, or whatever you wish

The "whatever you wish" seems to indicate that this is a regular switch that can be configured to turn off certain functionality. Is that true?

I was hoping for a solution that physically disconnects the microphone/cameras/etc, or at least acts at some lower level than the OS. But if it's flexible and configurable then it sadly doesn't look as secure.

It could do both, but it does say “or whatever”, not “and”.
