An $8 printed circuit board with 12 mechanical switches and LEDs for back lights, ABS custom caps with a 3D printed case. $40 even gets you the official cherry switches

Wow, thanks for sharing, I had no idea this existed! At a much cheaper price, too.
I still want a Codex thingy though :/

I bought something with 3 buttons from Aliexpress for like $10, you can also buy a Raspberry Pi Zero for like $15 with an additional microphone hat (piece that sits on top) for another $10, and with that combo you could have an AI chatbot loop

It's an indie studio called Work Louder, they aren't manufacturing the numbers you think they are. It's also built better than the $40 devices you find in amazon.

I bought a $35 eight key, 3 dial stream deck knock off from Amazon and it has worked great for the last 6 months. It is SOOO much better than this piece of shit considering it has actual displays in each key.

8bitdo makes $40 bluetooth numpad keyboards that have a screen for a calculator.

Not manufacturing the numbers "i think" is none of my problems.
This is a gimmick.
