June 2018
Duo
The Duo was born out of a need I had as a student at MIT for a portable laptop monitor that could be easily attached, carried, and stored. I envisioned a solution that would allow for quick setup with just a single cable, making it simple to use on the go. This idea turned into our first product, offering a practical, compact, and seamless way for people to expand their laptop screens wherever they are.
June 2019
Trio 1 Gen
Building on the success of the Duo, it only made sense to create the Trio, offering users dual and even triple screen setups. The Trio features modular screens on both the left and right, giving users the flexibility to customize their setup while minimizing the number of SKUs to manage. This innovation allowed us to cater to the growing demand for multi-screen solutions while maintaining simplicity and versatility.
March 2021
Duex Plus & Duex Lite
We upgraded the Duo to create the Duex Plus and Duex Lite, making it lighter, thinner, and available in two sizes to better suit a variety of laptops. This improvement made the product even more portable and versatile, appealing to a broader range of users. As a result, the Duex Plus quickly became our best-selling product, solidifying its place as a must-have productivity tool.
February 2022
Duex Max
Responding to customer demand for a larger monitor with color options, we launched the Duex Max in four vibrant colors. This product quickly surpassed the Duex Plus in popularity, offering a larger screen while maintaining the portability and ease of use. Interestingly, despite offering a variety of colors, the Gunmetal Grey version became the most popular, while the red color didn’t resonate as much with users.
July 2022
Geminos
Our journey with Geminos began in our first official office, a tiny coworking space, where Stephen stacked two 24" monitors together to make the space work. This simple solution sparked the idea for Geminos, a space-saving and ergonomic product that would revolutionize how people set up their workstations. The concept resonated deeply with users, leading to around $2.4 million in preorder funding, proving the product’s tremendous potential.
Aprl 2023
Trio 2 Gen
As our company matured, so did our products, leading to a complete revamp of the Trio series. This new version eliminated the modular design, featuring two built-in screens for a more streamlined and integrated tri-screen solution. By catering specifically to users who require a multi-screen setup, the revamped Trio delivered a seamless and efficient experience for enhanced productivity.
August 2023
Duex Float
After seeing the overwhelming love for the Geminos, we realized people wanted the flexibility to take it on the go, leading to the creation of the Float. By stacking an external display atop the laptop monitor, the Float provided a portable, ergonomic external monitor setup that could easily travel with users. This innovation gave professionals the ability to enjoy the same productivity and comfort wherever they went.
July 2024
Tetra
Building on our focus on ergonomics, we introduced the Tetra keyboard, one of the first truly wireless split keyboards. It combines ergonomic key placement with a programmable app, all integrated into a built-in display. This innovative design reinvents the way we type, offering a more comfortable and customizable typing experience.
October 2024
Pixcase
After focusing on work-related products, we decided it was time to have some fun, leading to the creation of the Pixcase. This portable device allows you to take your entertainment on the go, offering a seamless and enjoyable experience wherever you are. With the Pixcase, we’ve combined practicality and fun, giving you the perfect way to enjoy your favorite content while traveling.
Before we get any further, thank you for your support.
