It's a wireless macro deck that sits next to your keyboard — a handful of physical buttons you can program to do anything. Press one button to type your email address. Another to launch Spotify. A third to run a ten-step macro that opens your dev environment, pulls the latest code, and starts the build. All with one tap.
No software to install. No cloud accounts. No subscriptions. It speaks Bluetooth HID — your computer sees a real keyboard. Configure everything from your browser, then unplug and move between machines. Your layout follows.
I couldn't afford the tool I wanted, so I built my own. Then I shared the code, the designs, and the firmware for free — not so you could copy what I made, but so you could see what's possible. You don't need permission to create. You don't need a team to begin. You just need the courage to start. If a guy in a small town with a soldering iron can ship a product, imagine what you can build.

Real workflows. One tap each. These are just the start — every button is yours to program.
Never tab out of your stream again. Switch scenes, cut cameras, and manage audio — all from a wireless deck next to your keyboard. Each button is a hotkey mapped to OBS or Streamlabs.
/raid channelname in chat and hit Enter — keeps the hype going without missing a beat.
Stop hunting keyboard shortcuts. Dedicate a full page of buttons to your NLE — cut, ripple delete, zoom, split, and export without touching the keyboard. Add a second page for colour grading.
Execute perfect MMO rotations, toggle sim racing pit controls, and manage Discord — all without breaking immersion. Macros chain multiple actions with precise timing.
Stop typing the same things every day. Launch apps, paste canned responses, insert your signature, and automate your morning routine — all with one tap.
Keep your hands on your instrument, not your keyboard. Control Ableton, FL Studio, or any DAW from anywhere in the room — wireless range covers the whole studio.
Keep your git commands, code snippets, and build actions one tap away. No more context-switching — commit, push, deploy, and run from your deck.
Never fumble with your slides again. Advance, go back, blank the screen, toggle the laser pointer, and jump to any slide — all without touching your laptop.
Stop switching between tools with the mouse. Brush, mask, curve, clone, and export — every essential Photoshop and Lightroom shortcut on a dedicated page.
Keep your viewport navigation and modelling tools one tap away. Orbit, pan, loop cut, extrude, bevel, and render without breaking your flow in Blender or Fusion 360.
A second page of OBS power controls. Toggle individual sources, save replays, adjust mic gain, trigger alerts, and manage transitions — the pro streamer's toolbelt.
This is just the beginning. Every button does whatever you want —
key, combo, text, macro, flow builder, app launcher, or automation.
