Spending hours on video calls has become commonplace over the past many months which has led to a number of users accidentally leaving microphones and cameras on, so the 'ChonkerKeys' customizable keypad is intended to help eliminate this from occurring.
The keypad is characterized by its oversized design that includes a series of buttons for toggling webcams or microphones on or off as well as another for exiting a meeting. These core buttons are paired with lights to let users easily see if their equipment is broadcasting or not to ensure they are always in control.
