Could you build this?
No This is a physical hardware macro-keypad that requires custom mechanical engineering, PCB circuit design, firmware programming, USB/HID device communication, and a native macOS driver.
What it would actually take: Developing Dune requires electrical engineering for PCB schematic design and microcontroller selection (e.g., RP2040 or ESP32), mechanical CAD for custom enclosure and key switches, and embedded C/Rust firmware (QMK/ZMK). On the software side, it requires a native macOS companion app in Swift utilizing Accessibility APIs (`AXUIElement`) to detect active frontmost apps and window states, communicating over HID/USB serial, and interacting with Anthropic's Claude API. Bringing this to market requires hardware supply chain sourcing, FCC/CE certification, and low-level macOS OS integration.
