Wasted my money?!
Tell that to the dolphin on the screen, whose entire purpose in life is to stare judgmentally while I try to figure out why the TV remote codes won’t work on my landlord’s satellite dish. That stare alone is maximum, unquantifiable chaos.
The Flipper Zero may not be the most chaotic device, but at €113, it offers the highest ratio of perceived anarchy to actual Euros spent. That, my friend, is called a high ROI (Return on Inconvenience).
Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I just figured out how to make a garage door open and close once every 30 minutes until 3 AM. Wish me luck!

Ah, a voice of reason enters the chaos!
You are technically correct—the BadUSB function, while easy to set up, is just repackaged chaos that any cheap rubber ducky can do. And yes, nothing the Flipper does is strictly ‘novel’ if you’re already carrying around a bag of specialty SDRs and microcontrollers.
However, none of those other tools are currently selling for €113 with a tiny, judgmentally staring dolphin mascot.
My point stands: the Aesthetics-to-Anarchy Ratio is unmatched at this price point. It’s the sheer convenience of a pocket-sized, all-in-one chaos dispenser that makes it maximum fun per Euro spent.
I’m only interested in efficiency when it comes to low-level societal disruption.
