The Dune Keypad: A Three-Button Device That Knows Which App You’re In

Meet the Dune keypad. It’s a tiny gadget with just three buttons. But what makes it interesting is what it does with them.

The device changes its behavior based on what app you’re looking at. In a meeting app, those three buttons become toggle mic, toggle video, and bring window to front. In other contexts, they do something else entirely. It’s context-aware hardware — a refreshing idea in a world of endless software shortcuts.

Dune is designed for people who spend their days bouncing between meetings, browsers, and creative tools. Instead of memorizing keyboard shortcuts or clicking through menus, you press a physical button. It’s simple, and that’s kind of the point.

Three buttons. Infinite contexts. One small step toward making our digital tools feel more physical again.
