Moodi from DuRoBo is a Bluetooth-enabled two-button remote for turning pages, skipping tracks, and scrolling when you have your e-reader or tablet propped up in front of you. It’s a hands-free solution to small tasks.
Imagine you’re laying bed, or relaxed in the tub, your e-reader is propped up some feet away allowing you to read — the text obviously big enough to see. There’s one big problem with this setup. Eventually, you’ll have to lean forward to interact with the device and turn the page. Unless you have something like the Moodi Bluetooth remote from DuRoBo. What is it? That’s simple enough to explain. It’s a small, two-button Bluetooth remote for page-turning, multimedia controls and tactile interactions.
It weighs a mere 18 grams, has a pebble-like silhouette and sits naturally in the palm of your hand. Two buttons deliver “paw-pad” tactile feedback that’s soft, springy, and satisfying. DuRoBo intentionally designed it to be ergonomic. It pairs via Bluetooth 5.4 with compatible devices, not just DuRoBo’s Krono e-paper device, by the way. It has three modes: reading mode for page-turning, multimedia mode to play, pause, and skip tracks, and finally browsing mode to scroll pages and documents. Plus, the buttons have magnetic caps so you can swap them out with custom designs anytime you want. Six button caps are included.
Why would you want a Bluetooth remote like this?
It’s compact, it’s easy to use, and it allows you to interact with your Bluetooth devices without actually using your finger to tap or pick them up. You can lay down in bed, prop up the e-reader or tablet, and turn pages. You could also leave that tablet or e-reader mounted, or wherever else you have it. Moodi also helps you scroll websites, large documents and extensive content. If you’re listening to music, podcasts, or audio you can skip tracks and control them, too.
It charges via USB-C, and includes the cable, and the 90mAh battery should last for weeks. While DuRoBo’s Krono is the main focus, it also works with most Android devices, including smartphones. It relies on volume-key based page turning so apps like Google Play Books and Kindle should support it. A built-in lanyard hole allows you to toss on a strap to wear it on your wrist or wherever. It can stay with you at all times no matter where you go and where you prefer to read.
It’s a relatively inexpensive solution for Bluetooth and hands-free page turning. There’s not much more to it than that.
Who is it for?
Anyone of any age. If your e-reader supports Bluetooth and you want to turn pages, scroll, and skip tracks without tapping, touching, or using your device this little guy is for you.
