In 2026, companion app UX isn't defined by your screens — it's defined by the invisible radio stack beneath them.

BLE, UWB, and Matter are no longer separate feature choices. They’re converging into a single spatial and interoperability layer.

Our latest article explores the connectivity trends shaping companion apps in 2026 and what they mean for teams building connected products.

The sale is not the end of a hardware product’s lifecycle. It’s where the real relationship with the customer begins.

Or at least, it should be.

Without the right software layer, hardware brands lose opportunities to improve products after launch, understand how customers actually use them, increase retention, and build new revenue streams.

That’s where a companion app comes in.

In our new article, we break down how companion apps transform your hardware from a single transaction into a long-term engine for user trust, lower support costs, and predictable recurring revenue.

Discover how a companion app turns a one-time hardware sale into a subscription ecosystem — EQ tiers, usage analytics, presets, and freemium models.

Finding the right software development partner for an electronics product isn’t just about comparing hourly rates.

Firmware, embedded software, BLE, device connectivity, companion apps, desktop tools — these are all closely connected parts of the same product.

In our new article, we look at why Eastern Europe is a strong destination for electronics brands and what to consider when choosing a partner for firmware and embedded development. In particular:
🔹 embedded and firmware talent
💰 costs and time-to-hire
🤝 how nearshore collaboration works
🔍 what to look for in an electronics-focused partner

A gaming keyboard configurator doesn’t necessarily need to be a desktop app.

For this project, we built a full-featured configurator that runs directly in the browser — no installation, no background processes, and no account required.

The key was the WebHID API, which allows web applications to communicate directly with USB devices. That made it possible to handle everything — lighting effects, key remapping, profile management — directly in the browser.

✔ Full keyboard configurator in Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Opera
✔ Lighting effects with custom animations, brightness, speed, and color controls
✔ Key remapping for both base and FN layers
✔ Up to 10 profiles with import/export, stored in onboard memory — settings stay on the keyboard, not the machine

We just launched on Product Hunt 🚀

A couple of weeks ago we shared our Gaming Peripherals Chipsets Database here — today it's live on Product Hunt.

If you missed it: a free quick-reference database of chipsets used in gaming mice and keyboards — specs and documentation in one place, no datasheet hunting.

⬆️ If it's useful to you or someone on your team, an upvote helps other engineers and PMs find it.

Choosing the wrong MCU costs weeks of rework. We built the database we wished existed: 80+ chipsets from Nordic, STM, NXP, Microchip, Holtek, Cypress, Silicon Labs & more — standardized side-by-side. → Specs: CPU core, clock, Flash, RAM, USB type → Power data from vendor datasheets → Use-cas...

Building configuration software for gaming hardware goes far beyond basic UI controls and lighting customization. It’s an engineering balancing act:

🔹 Lightweight, zero-footprint architecture vs. heavy cloud sync
🔹 Smart macro engines that respect anti-cheat rules
🔹 Cross-brand compatibility without driver conflicts

With years of experience building firmware, drivers, and companion apps for top peripheral brands, we analyzed where the market is heading.

Inside the article, you'll find a breakdown of features users actually keep enabled vs. marketing hype, along with a roadmap of what hardware product teams should prioritize next.
