  Pretty weird to see "Hacker News" coming out of the gate strongly against what appears to be a fun, cheap, extensible little hardware accessory. This is hardly the first accessory keypad to ever be made, and it's neat to see the AI use case driving people to mess around and try some ideas in this space.(I'll add too - I am seeing a bunch of these come across my feeds now. Fun to see different options, people tinkering with hardware ideas!)

  I really thought it was a joke at first.

  for anybody doubting the value of these, they're making international headlines: https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/business/tech-science/20261101/...you don't need to buy one, but keychron's going to be ready for the next ai company that goes looking for a promo product supplier

  We're getting close to Jetsons level.

  On the one hand, this is stupid (or a least its marketing is).On the other, I'm done with Keychron. I bought from them with the idea that I was getting a fully assembled keyboard with QMK support. It turns out that they have not published QMK support for this particular keyboard, and it's pretty spotty for their wireless keyboards in general. Besides this being a GPL violation, it's just rude.

  Who approves or rejects? You just ask for a change ..

  This is a really lazy implementation of this idea.I briefly considered making one of these for my electronics company https://store.n8ech.com, but found that there are plenty of available options like the AhaKey https://finalkeystudio.com/products/finalkey-x-ahakey-x1-vib... out of I think the Philippines.This one is going to be a pass.

  I was thinking of hacking a Bluetooth ring with sleek buttons to do this, when I'm working with agents I wanted something right at hand to handle recording audio and sending inputs. 2 remapped keyboard keys and handy is my current good enough.

  Need one that mixes it with a stream deck (e.g. lights up when a session is ready for input). You could even have that as one dedicated button with press to shuffle sessions. Would make a slightly larger version (keypad or in-between the two) more valuable

  Remember that meme with the giant plush Enter key? Yeah, it's real now.

  Reminds me of the 3-keyboard from Waveshare, but I guess this device right here has something to do with AI !?

  These things started popping up. I think I saw the other day a microphone that had some buttons for Claude code.

  Already outdated with the permission buttons

  I use my Stream Deck XL+ for this.Have actually vibe coded a few "apps" for this. Most recent being a weather app that switches to radar view when I tap the knob and allows me to turn the forecast through time.Now I need to go make the "make no mistakes" macro for fun!

  8 KHz sample rate? I'm sure this was good enough in August, but we have Opus 5.5 now. I suppose it could be enough for use with low effort.
• hologramofham
  "Accept changes"? This is obviously aimed at entry level vibe coders.
• bensyverson
  Thank God it has an 8K polling rate!

  The buttons are clearly wrong. They should come from factory with:"Make it better""Add more bling""Nevermind, go on""Ship to production"

  They could have something better like the work louder equivalent (Creator Micro V2). Fun fact: before buying work louder I bought the keychron K0 Max (since I own the keychron k3 max) but couldnt really use it with my claude code (no native integration what`s so ever). Also there`s no set of keycaps so that I can fully customize it.

  This is pointless, because it is too easy to press wrong key.I understand the novelty factor, but this product just creates pollution.

  No tactile switches? Hard pass.

  Absolutely silly.

  Selling an old, unfunny joke for $35.00. Functionally this is entirely useless. Who is this for? You'd be much better off with a keyboard that fits in your pocket-- that's what I use, lol
