Macro pad · Working prototype

Every key is a screen.

Twelve keys, each with its own tiny OLED, and a wheel that keeps spinning. The icons change with the app you're in, so you always know what every key does.

ORVY prototype seen from above

Pick an app. Drag the wheel.

Mechanical switches

Feel every press.

Under every clear cap there's a real mechanical switch, the same kind enthusiasts build their keyboards with. Not a rubber button. Not a touchscreen. Pick the feel you like.

Linear

Smooth, straight down. Fast and quiet.

Tactile

A soft bump tells you the press registered. Still quiet.

Clicky

A crisp bump and an audible click. Like a classic keyboard.

Force · travel

Spin it

Same turn, same distance. One jumps, the other glides.

Magnetic encoder

High-resolution scrolling.

Regular wheels move in steps, about 20 to 30 per turn. ORVY reads {steps} positions per turn with a contactless magnetic sensor, so it scrolls pixel by pixel, ultra smooth and precise. It spins on a ball bearing: one flick keeps it going.

Typical knob 0 clicks {detents} per turn
ORVY 0 steps {steps} per turn
  • No detents
  • Contactless, no wear

Why ORVY

Shortcuts you can see.

A screen in every key

Each key shows exactly what it does: an icon, a word, a file name. No stickers, no memorising.

Make it yours

Choose icons, words and actions for every key from our desktop app. And the code is open enough to build your own.

Follows your apps

Switch from slides to a spreadsheet to a call and the keys switch with you. Set your own icons and actions for any app.

Windows app

Get everything out of it.

The ORVY app for Windows unlocks everything the pad can do, far beyond what a keyboard can.

  • Windows superpowers

    Volume, brightness, zoom and other Windows features a normal keyboard can't reach, right on the keys and the wheel.

  • Direct app integration

    ORVY connects straight to your apps instead of only sending shortcuts, so every key does exactly what you mean.

  • Third-party plugins

    An open plugin system lets anyone add new apps and tools, and share them with everyone.

  • Customise everything

    Icons, text, actions and how the wheel behaves, for every key and every app.

  • Public profiles

    Share your setup or start from someone else's. One click loads a profile made for the app you use.

Not a render

This is the working prototype.

On your desk

One pad, every app.

Present without the mouse

Next slide, back, start, end. Turn the wheel to move through your deck.

Fly through spreadsheets

Sum, filter, sort and format in one press. The wheel scrolls rows at any speed.

Own your calls

Mute, camera, share screen and leave, always in the same place, always labelled.
