Voice Integration

Push-to-talk voice input with R2 trigger. Speak commands naturally and let AI transcribe them instantly

Smart Mappings

Intelligently mapped controls for Claude Code, VS Code, and terminal workflows with mode switching

The Hidden Cost of AI-Assisted Development

Tools like Claude Code are transforming how we write software. But the interaction patterns—constant prompting, reviewing suggestions, navigating conversations—create new strain patterns that traditional keyboards weren't designed for.

Keyboard & Mouse

  • Wrist extension and ulnar deviation
  • Repetitive finger movements on flat surfaces
  • Static postures for extended periods
  • Not designed for command-driven workflows

Gamepad Controller

  • Natural hand position with neutral wrist angle
  • Thumb-centric input reduces finger strain
  • Graduated trigger resistance for comfortable holds
  • Decades of ergonomic refinement for extended use
