I'm a bit dumbfounded by the price tag of $189. Am I wrong?

Seems like quite a bit of hardware engineering went into the design.

But if you are hacker and don't care too much about the aesthetics you could probably get 90% of the functionality with an ESP32, a GPIO extender, an LED array, an OLED display and a 3D printed case for like $30.

This is cool, I've thought of building something like this for years now. The price is a bit high, but glad to see it in the real world.

Yeah - I feel like everyone who would want one of these would rather build one than pay $189 for it :/
