I’m honestly just now hearing of it. Sounds cool, but I feel like I’d only use it once every 6 months just to see if it still works on specific things. Will keep an eye on it.
Yeah, same. I have literally zero use for it outside tinkering, and knowing myself, I’ll play with it for a couple of days, then forget it in a drawer, rinse and repeat every handful of months. It’s just expensive enough that it feels pretty wasteful to do so lol
You should get one and find out. I love mine.

I mean if you werent into tamagachis and the like, probably.
But its got this dolphin that gets all sad if you dont use it. That alone keeps me playing.
what do people actually use them to do?
I’ve used it around the house to make copies of the light switches (they are small battery operated radios.)
I’ve also used it to clone my car fab as a backup.
I’ve found out what my neighbors are doing that is radio controlled. Some times I just scan for packets and try and decrypt them.
I’ve used it to get the full metadata on my pets RFID tags. I now have full records for all my pets.
I’ve used it in a gimmicky way to get my credit card information, and I’ve considered using it for payment, but havent’ tried yet.
Honestly, its a great tool to have. Its a swiss army knife for radio signals. I’m mostly concerned with leveling up my dolphin though.
does that work? I thought modern cars used a challenge/response or rolling key system.
Probably not, and it can actually cause issues with some cars and make the original fob not work anymore
hey that is actually pretty cool.
if it weren’t for the price, I’d probably pick one up.
I’m surprised they haven’t been cloned and sold for much less.
I mean, the build quality is there. It feels great in the hands. Is the price a lot? I mean, its quite a tool for what it is.
