The closest “value” I can think of is a connection for a much older generation but that market disappears in a few years.

I was a cable installer. I was always flabbergasted to find adults, sometimes much younger than myself, completely overwhelmed by new tech and an abundance of choice.

Too many people didn’t want me to explain the remote control past “how to find my stories and change the volume”. Personally I got paid by the hour. If you needed me to teach you how to use on demand for an hour that was simply part of the job.

Having tactile keys to press could be useful to some of those luddites but I’m stretching to find a reason to sell this.

i think that anyone old enough to prefer a keyboard or philosophically/spiritually against technology would also probably find this device unsettling, so i think the only market would be hipsters who want a novelty gift. that said, i'm sure it has plenty of value to it's creator. it's just not something that belongs in a world that's trying to get to zero net carbon emissions if you ask me.
