This is cool, but Flipper Zero is in my opinion, cooler.

or this:

and it does come with a more digestible price tag

The Flipper Zero does look fun, but $160 is pretty expensive alas, but I understand injection moulding doesn't come cheap.

I really like their blog on how the moulds etc. were made too.

Also iirc the firmware is now open.

Molds aren't cheap, but as someone who've been around while F0 was created it's not that imo. It's setting up the pipeline, shitty PCBs in batches of hundreds, fuckups with parts, etc.

If you do a couple of prototypes it's fine. If you want to make a thousand or two, you are in a world of pain.
