The kind of product to be born out of a meme, the ChonkerKeys are hilarious but they’re also incredibly effective. The keyboard comes with 5 comically oversized keys that let you control your video-calling app’s interface through actual hardware. There are buttons for toggling on and off your camera or your mic, a thumbs-up button, a share-screen button, and a massive Leave Meeting button that lets you make a quick exit without fiddling around on your desktop looking for the right command or control.

Other than being a video call assistant, ChonkerKeys is customizable, too. You can configure the buttons as shortcut keys for actions like copy and paste, Excel functions, screenshots, switch to your favourite smokescreen window, open a website, and more.

The ChonkerKeys is a wired keyboard that’s built to be compatible with video-chatting/presentation apps. At present, the prototype is reported to work with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and FaceTime. More apps such as Google Meet, Cisco Webex will be added as ChonkerKeys software development continues. Plugging in via USB-C, the keyboard works on apps across Windows, MacOS, and even iPadOS devices.

Designed to work as incredibly effective (and intuitive) shortcut keys, the ChonkerKeys are large, making them difficult to miss, and even come with a backlight that lights up in red or green, letting you know if your mic/camera is off or on respectively. In short, it provides that tactile and visual feedback that a desktop application sometimes doesn’t, and makes it easy to follow ‘online etiquette’.
