Adaprox has various "finger bots" for those who don't want to build their own: https://www.adaprox.io/

This is all great, but not steampunk enough ;) Check this out:

Now, electrifying that would be neat!

Uri is one of my favorite creators! Such an awesome mixture of skill and off-the-wall creativity

Well that just took me down a several hour rabbit hole. Thank you.

There is also MicroBot: https://microbot.is/push/

I used it for testing smart meters in Norway, so we did not need to run to the lab to trigger events. The best part is that the whole menu is interactive by just one physical button, a great job for a Bluetooth button pusher + Python.

It is also capacitive so it work on the phone screen, and YubiKeys (?)

Can you get to the 'buy now' shop on that site?

[newman314]

The support site appears to have an expired cert. Are they still in business (or just limping along)?

I like the concept but the price is steep IMO. $90 for two actuators in the starter kit then $40 for each additional module.

I wonder if one could design a similar solution without requiring a bridge. Although of course given the power consumption adding WiFi on the actuators might not be a great idea.

The cost appears to be higher to cover the development/systems cost for the app?

[xmodem]

Ooh I've been looking for something like this!

[gorkish]

This is pure brilliance.

Yeesh $35 for a single button presser?

[Godel_unicode]

People frequently spend that on a night at the bar/movies/bowling. Why is this a worse use of money?

I mean, for a power supply, bluetooth receiver/chipset, actuator... I don't think I cobble together something half as good for twice as much, and that's not factoring in labor.
