The most frustrating aspect of meeting apps for me is the fact that they all possess distinct shortcuts for disabling the microphone or stopping the webcam. Recalling the functions of different keys during a meeting can be challenging, especially when you’re trying to express an idea or inquire about something. I’ve consistently wished for a tangible, all-encompassing button for muting and camera control — an element I could activate instinctively. Project Mirage’s Dune is a compact, three-key aluminum keypad, approximately the size of a piece of gum, which connects to your MacBook’s USB-C port. This gadget, priced at $119, features three buttons that adapt to the context of the app you are using. For example, in conference applications and platforms, functions such as enabling or disabling the microphone, activating or deactivating the video, and moving the window to the top can be found. For Excel or Sheets, the process might involve copying, pasting, and undoing actions. For Chrome, the possible actions include refreshing the page, navigating to the URL bar, and pasting content. You understand the main idea.
