The bpad
Ultimate Active Digital Fidget Console.
Reclaiming play from the smartphone algorithm.
Kids now average over 7 hours of daily screen time, drowning in algorithmic feeds that demand attention but offer zero engagement.
bpad is a pocket-sized escape, a dedicated hardware companion built for physical interaction, deep haptics, rich sound, and real-world play.
Pocket-Sized Powerhouse.
- Instant On: No loading bars, no updates, zero ads.
- Motion-First: A 9-Axis Gyroscope, Accelerometer, and Magnetometer force physical movement to play.
- Deep Haptics: 4 Linear Resonant Actuators (LRA) deliver 3D feedback so you feel every bump, thump, and crash.
- Immersive Audio: Integrated I2S speaker and microphone for high-fidelity soundscapes and voice-reactive gameplay.
- Open Hardware: Powered by the ESP32-S3 and a crisp 1.8” 360px circular touchscreen.
- Infinite Modularity: A built-in USB-C expansion port allows developers to plug in external modules like LoRa radios, cameras, environmental sensors, custom LED arrays, and more.
The Solution
Tactile Engagement
Without the Algorithms.
The Magic
Immersive Play
56%+ Gross Margins
Engineered for scale from day one. bpad achieves a $35 landed cost against an $80–$120 retail price. We are moving from bootstrapped, hand-built prototypes straight into NAK80 steel injection tooling to cement our premium feel.
The Developer Ecosystem
bpad runs games written in Lua directly from an internal SD card. Our web platform allows users to write their own code in a text editor, drag-and-drop it onto the device, and share it, building a self-sustaining content loop. With the USB-C expansion port, developers aren't just limited to software; they can build custom hardware add-ons to invent entirely new ways to play.
Digital Detox:
Rewards physical and real-world movement.
Motion First:
Tilt, Tap, Jump, and Twist to WIN.
Deep Haptics:
Feedback that lets you feel the "click," "roll," and "thumps".
Shipped by Hardware Veterans
Co-founded by Chris and Jacob. With over 22+ years in electronics engineering and manufacturing, They made bpad entirely from scratch, from the high-speed PCB routing to the custom C++ kernel. We don't just design; we manufacture and ship.
MEET THE TEAM
